Cutting Edge Comedians of the '60s & '70s Cast and Crew

Cutting Edge Comedians of the '60s & '70s

Plot: In the late 1950s, a fresh, unconventional style of standup comedy emerged in sharp contrast to the standard "Take my wife, please" approach. It tackled such previously taboo subjects as sex, religion, drugs, and politics, and ushered in an avant-garde era of comedy that was decidedly more cerebral, satirical, and improvisational than before
