Well, I guess I *have* done that--but that point of view was fifteen years ago, and I was operating on paradigms from the past even back then. Since then, I have been using little bits of FT stuff in dribs and drabs--the cognoscenti among my listeners knew its provenance, and that was fine by me. But things change as time drags on. Last night in the tub, I got to thinking--when was the last time you actually heard anyone devote a chunk of radio time to the full appreciation of some of the Firesign Theatre's finest works? It's been so long that most of my listeners have little understanding of FT and what exactly they brought to the entertainment-starved freaks out there in the world--a whole panoply of audio insanity that still unreels, unbidden, word-for-word out of my cortex to this very day. Their body of work, in and of itself, is a separate cosmos, one which richly, rightly deserves to be plumbed for its gems and joys. It is in this spirit of education that I announce this week's offering: The Firesign Theatre's 1970 audiocomedy masterwork, "Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers"--played in its entirety! From its vivid Robert Grossman cover to its deathless, thrilling content, the twisted life of George Leroy Tirebiter will unreel before your disbelieving ears as he floats in etherspace, trapped on various television channels like an electronic Billy Pilgrim. "Marching to Shibboleth!" "High School Madness!" "Parallel Hell!" And if you're like me, your lips will move in perfect time with every familiar line. I've weighed it, and I'll have to bleep the two "shits" out of the game show sequence with Mrs Presskey (they're too loud) and I'm taking the pops out of the vinyl like a religious fanatic swabbing the Church steps with her hair, but that's it. No funny business--and at the same time, NOTHING BUT funny business! Funny business as only Phil Austin, Philip Proctor, Peter Bergman, and David Ossman can deliver! ‘Marching to Shibboleth–The Big Big Book of Plays’ (Firesign Theatre) (2013) 5 thoughts on “ ‘Marching to Shibboleth–The Big Big Book of Plays’ (Firesign Theatre) (2013) ” I’ve struggled for four decades to get to the bottom of what made up the Firesign Theatre’s inexplicable brew of silliness, profundity and pathos. It’s not because they were consistent; a good three-quarters of their output was simple, coasting crap. So why do I cry when an aged George Tirebiter is happily listening to delusional messages from his answering service? Why do I root for Happy Harry Cox to find the secret of life in the center of the earth? Saying that they were the comedy Beatles seems facile, but I can’t dispute it. They distilled the comedy they grew up with — the broad, the obscure, the profane, the ridiculous — into something absolutely new. TVD Radar: The Firesign Theatre, Dope Humor of the Seventies 2-LP in stores 11/27. VIA PRESS RELEASE | Legendary comedy group The Firesign Theatre and Stand Up! Records present a new double-LP compilation, Dope Humor of the Seventies : a two-record set including 83 minutes of previously uncollected funny bits from The Firesign Theatre’s notorious “Dear Friends” era of freeform Los Angeles radio broadcasting, 1970–1972. ​ Dope Humor of the Seventies which goes on sale Friday November 27th, is an extremely belated sequel to Firesign’s 1972 double-LP Dear Friends —a freewheeling demolition derby of old-time radio tropes seen through the subversive lens of Nixon-era Los Angeles freeform radio. The record will be Firesign’s first new vinyl release since Eat or Be Eaten in 1985. Dope Humor of the Seventies contains 34 tracks spread over four record sides. Meanwhile the download version of the record is greatly expanded, and includes 46 tracks totaling over two hours. Customers who buy the download directly from Stand Up! Records will also get a 56- page PDF which includes scans of scripts used in the original radio broadcasts. The new release includes soon-to-be-classic chunks of surrealism like “Pluto Water,” “Shakespeare Sunday Sunday,” and “Bob Dog Dog & Dog Hot Dog Son & Foot Tires.” The Firesign Theatre, whose founding members were Philip Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman, and Philip Proctor, came together on Los Angeles radio station KPFK in 1966 on Bergman’s program Radio Free Oz. During their time together they released over 35 albums, including Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers, called “the greatest comedy album ever made” by Rolling Stone, described by the New York Times as “A multifaceted work of almost Joycean complexity,” and now are part of the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry of Historic American sound. Dope Humor of the Seventies will be available for order directly from Stand Up! Records and all major music retail outlets. THE FIRESIGN THEATRE | Called “The Beatles of Comedy” by The Library of Congress, the four-man Firesign Theatre wrote and performed together for over forty years, but their early studio work (1968-1975) for Columbia Records remains their best known and most influential. Innumerable phrases from their albums have entered the English lexicon: What’s all this brouhaha? More Sugar! What you don’t mean won’t hurt you! Not Insane! Forward Into the Past! Shoes for Industry! Your brain may no longer be the boss! The iconic comic voices of the counter-culture generation, Firesign chronicled pop, politics, media, and technology in a tense one listener called “the Future Inevitable.” The Firesign Theatre has been compared to Kurt Vonnegut, Ken Kesey and Bob Dylan in their original use of language, and to the surrealists in their psychedelic storytelling methods, including the time-and-space altering concept of “channel-switching.” The original albums, intricately produced in multi-track recording, were designed for multiple listenings and meanings—an audio Theatre of the Absurd. Entertainment Weekly ranked The Firesign Theatre among the “Thirty Greatest Comedy Acts of All Time.” The group received Grammy Award nominations for three of their albums: The Three Faces of Al (1984), Give Me Immortality or Give Me Death (1998), and Bride of Firesign (2001). The Firesign Theatre’s Peter Bergman passed away in 2012. Philip Austin died in 2015. Remaining Firesigns Phil Proctor and David Ossman have worked since then to preserve the long heritage of their partnership. Their classic scripts were gathered in the book Marching to Shibboleth in 2013. Firesign’s Philip Proctor has written an autobiography, Where’s My Fortune Cookie, and co-stars in the podcast and YouTube series “Boomers on a Bench.” Multi-hyphenate David Ossman recently published his second novel, The Flying Saucer Murder Case, and second memoir, Fighting Clowns of Hollywood, featuring a collection of Firesign performance scripts 1979-1981.

  • Press Kit (PDF)
    Synopsis 1 The ocean is a wilderness reaching 'round the globe, wilder than a Bengal jungle, and fuller of monsters, washing the very wharves of our cities and the gardens of our sea-side residences. - Henry David Thoreau, 1864 For the nineteenth century, the world beneath the sea played much the same role that "outer space" played for the twentieth. The ocean depths were at once the ultimate scientific frontier and what Coleridge called "the reservoir of the soul": the place of the unconscious, of imagination and the fantastic. Proteus uses the undersea world as the locus for a meditation on the troubled intersection of scientific and artistic vision. The one-hour film is based almost entirely on the images of nineteenth century painters, graphic artists, photographers and scientific illustrators, photographed from rare materials in European and American collections and brought to life through innovative animation. The central figure of the film is biologist and artist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919). As a young man, Haeckel found himself torn between seeming irreconcilables: science and art, materialism and religion, rationality and passion, outer and inner worlds. Through his discoveries beneath the sea, Haeckel would eventually reconcile these dualities, bringing science and art together in a unitary, almost mystical vision. His work would profoundly influence not only biology but also movements, thinkers and authors as disparate as Art Nouveau and Surrealism, Sigmund Freud and D.H. Lawrence, Vladimir Lenin and Thomas Edison. The key to Haeckel's vision was a tiny undersea organism called the radiolarian. Haeckel discovered, described, classified and painted four thousand species of these one-celled creatures.

We’re thrilled to have Martin McDonagh’s Irish yarn, The Cripple of Inishmaan, on our stage as the second show of our 2018/19 season. The play is set in a tiny and remote Irish village where everyone is keen to know everyone else’s business, where gossip is a major part of daily life and the truth becomes harder and harder to glean. It’s a dark and funny tale that is perfect for our own fact-challenged time. We think of the Antaeus community as a village, too (albeit a much healthier and vibrant one than windswept Inishmaan!) and a big change is coming our way: our Co-Artistic Director Rob Nagle will be stepping down from this position in February. It’s not possible to fully express the gigantic impact Rob’s leadership has had to Antaeus.
