This review is from: Inside Shelley Berman (Audio CD)
This is my favorite comedy album of all time. My parents owned it, and my sister and I listened to it about a hundred times. There are a ton of funny little catch phrases that we still laugh about: "Care for a pillow?" might not sound funny to you, but after listening to this album it will be! "This is your Captain speaking, we will be traveling non-stop to, uh, ... uh................. ...Los Angeles" Great stuff, and it is wonderful to have it available on CD -- I haven't had a record player in years, and it was fantastic to be able to hear this masterpiece once again. It was just as good as I remembered it! His piece on "The Morning After The Night Before" is an all-time classic that just brings me to tears of laughter. "In the shape I was in it was lucky the only thing I threw through the window was the cat... hah haha... oh really, who?"

This review is from: Inside Shelley Berman (Audio CD)
Like the previous reviewer, my family also had this album on LP and we listened to it until it wore out, most of the time crying with laughter. I was delighted to find it on CD and love it just as much now, 20 odd years later, as I did then. Mr Berman talks about everyday stuff from a very funny perspective that we all can relate to, and there's not a swear word in sight, a nice change. Although the original recording was done in 1959, the material is still timely, truly funny and something you'll want to listen to over and over again.

Introducing: Sheldon Berman,
By
This review is from: Inside Shelley Berman (Audio CD)
In the mid-1950s, Chicago-born Shelley Berman went from acting school to a comedy troupe that became known as THE SECOND CITY. While there he developed a "sit-down" solo comedy act and premiered it in 1957 at Mister Kelly's. Berman was the first stand-up comic to play Carnegie Hall, also the first to win a Grammy for a non-music recording.
The best-selling INSIDE SHELLEY BERMAN (1959, VERVE) was his recording debut. Never mean-spirited or vulgar, on this album the gentle comedian offers several scenarios, occasionally pausing for droll digressions. His is a universal humor, a sort that 50 years later hasn't become at all dated. Related CD: OUTSIDE SHELLEY BERMAN (1960) is the follow-up VERVE album. PROGRAM-- SIDE ONE [20:09] Child Psychologists * Airline routine (digression: plurals) * Phoning a dept. store (woman on 10th floor ledge) SIDE TWO [5:38] Buttermilk * Zen * The Nostalgics Game [7:30] The Morning After the Night Before (phone call) [9:26] Small Embarrassing Moments [3:33] Talking to a youngster on phone TOTAL TIME: 46:16
