The Firesign Theatre

A comedy troupe consisting of Phil Austin, Peter Bergman, David Ossman, and Philip Proctor, The Firesign Theatre have been creating "weirdly cool" recordings since the mid-1960s. Fans of old radio will love their rich, hallucinatory environments, dripping with satire and filled with cultural references revealing themselves to the perceptive listener. In 2005, the classic album Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers was selected to be preserved in the US National Recording Registry.
