about

Abbott and Costello could probably be considered the most popular radio, film and television comedy duo of the 1940s and 50s. Specializing in rapid-fire slapstick humor, their knockabout routine “Who’s On First” is widely considered as one of the greatest comedy routines of the era. Included here alongside fan favorite 'Go on a Hunting Trip', this original radio recording has been remastered and brought back to life, allowing a glimpse into the pair's extraordinary talent and the irreplaceable humor of one of the most treasured periods in comedy history.
