32 PACIFIC SUN JANUARY 22– JANUARY 28, 2010
When it comes to social satire, progressive political humor, irreverent insight and sardonic brilliance, comedians MORT SAHL & DICK GREGORY might have a credential or two—two million, if you count laughs—up their sleeves. When he wasn’t busy doing nothing, Sahl was the first humorist on the cover of Time, the first performer to make a comedy album, the first non-musician to win a Grammy; he’s written 18 screenplays, has been under Mort Sahl, above, will join Dick Gregory in a tagcontract at every major TV network and team of hilarity this weekend in Mill Valley. was the first to pioneer live comedy on college campuses. No slouch himself, Gregory was one of the first comedians to successfully perform for both black and white audiences, most notably at Chicago’s Playboy Club in1961, before being seen on national TV and films, selling 10 million copies of his 1964 autobiography and penning more than a dozen books since. A longtime social and political activist, Gregory ran for president of the U.S. in 1968—and yet, despite a vote from Hunter S. Thompson (and 47,096 others), he lost (to Richard Nixon, alas). 8pm Jan. 23 at 142 Throckmorton Theatre, Mill Valley.
