An exclusive performance by cult comedy troupe The Firesign Theatre.

An exclusive performance by cult comedy troupe The Firesign Theatre in their first British appearance for many years. From 2005.

The Firesign Theatre make their first British appearance for many years at the London Comedy Store. 

Since the mid 1960s, the four-man comedy troupe has been one of the best kept secrets in American comedy. 

With shades of Monty Python and The Goon Show, they grew out of a free-form radio show in California. 

The Firesign Theatre went on to produce a series of comedy albums which became cult favourites, in which they combined satire with parodies of popular culture and classic drama. 
 
Expect political comment, a virtuoso range of comic voices, and plenty of verbal ingenuity. 

Series in which Mark Thomas introduces iconic American comedy performers.

Producer: Paul Bajoria

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in December 2005.
