Product DescriptionBefore The Daily Show, before Saturday Night Live, even before Monty Python, there was Beyond the Fringe—the 1960s West End and Broadway hit revue that reinvented comedy. While another Fab Four was revolutionizing music, Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and Jonathan Miller were giving birth to the British satire boom. With nothing but their brilliant writing and inspired performances, they created side-splitting comedy that held nothing and no one sacred. In the process, the four performers became international stars. It was long thought that no filmed record of the original cast existed, until this gem was discovered in a producer's vault. A 1964 gala farewell performance in London, it features the troupe's classic sketches, including "Man Bites God," "Aftermyth of War," and "One Leg Too Few." - Actors: Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett, Jonathan Miller, Peter Cook
