Standup Comic

by Woody Allen

Woody Allen's original standup material, recorded between 1964 and 1968, is quintessential, self-deprecating humor. These are the routines that made him nationally famous.

About the author

Noted American actor, screenwriter, and filmmaker Woody Allen, originally Allen Stewart Konigsberg explored the neuroses of the urban middle class in comedies of manners, such as Annie Hall (1977) and Deconstructing Harry (1997).

This director, jazz musician, and playwright thrice won Academy Award. His large body of work mixes satire, wit and humor in the most respected and prolific cerebral style in the modern era. Allen directs also in the majority of his movies. For inspiration, Allen draws heavily on literature, philosophy, psychology, Judaism, European cinema, and city of New York, where he lives.

Woody Allen does what he does best, being funny and awkward at the same time. I listened to this as an audio recording of Allen himself. Anything else would just not be the same. Timing and pronounciation are two of Allen's biggest strengths, something that can't be conveyed as written words.

You notice that much of his materials in his movies comes from his stand-up career. This didn't remove anything from my experience. Great fun :)
