Cutting Edge Comedians of the '60s & '70s
Cutting Edge Comedians of the '60s & '70s is a 2007 Comedy Documentary film released on 10th April; the film which stars Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, and Billy Crystal.
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. Here are many of the maverick comedians who took those big risks years ago and paved the way for today’s current crop of outrageous, in-your-face comics. Many of these rare television performances have not been seen in 30 or 40 years.
