Can you imagine what it was like to be someone around in the mid 70s, you have already seen your Monty Python, you are desperately searching for something new, something funny, something groundbreaking and then you go to see Steve Martin perform in a comedy club, and soon afterwards in a stadium (yes whole stadiums) and hear all those people screaming with laughter? We missed that… We now consider Steve Martin, not as the brilliant legendary comedian that he is but rather an actor, or a playwright. That’s because he wanted to reinvent himself away from stand up comedy. He is often referred to as the smartest of all comedians, and because of that, his comedy is so absurd. Absurdity either comes from great genius or great stupidity. Absurdities not only to make us laugh but also to amuse him. Steve Martin’s work over the years is amazing. You can hardly ever find a comedian so profilic or as original as him. A true rock star of comedy…Check him out! (Search, find, watch, buy)
WHAT CAN I FIRST LIST? His movies or his comedy albums? The list is huge! Go to http://www.stevemartin.com/. His comedy albums, and his work on SNL are essential.
