There was no more important time for the growth of the budding comedy scene in America than the 1960s. The decade was full of change, upheaval, and pushing the envelope in a huge variety of way. The social, political, and cultural changes happening during the 1960s meant that the entertainment industry was also changing to reflect the time. As such, comedy began to grow in various ways, as performers, writers, and actors searched for ways to be original and push boundaries, while still appealing to mainstream audiences.
As such there were many important and talented acts that paved the way for the comedy that came out in the ensuing decades. Yet, some of them often get forgotten in the glut of comedians that have come since they were doing their thing. In this video, we’re taking a look at a few important comedians, actors, and writers who shined in the 1960s and beyond. It’s a way to learn about the comedy of the mid-20th century, how it paved the way for the comedy that came after it, and who some of the important performers were who are talked about a little less today.
