rowned as leading the new breed of modern comedians by Time magazine
in 1960, Mort Sahl was the first entertainer ever to appear on its
cover. Before comedy clubs existed, Sahl began performing at the hungry
i music club in San Francisco in the early 1950s. He differed from
other comedians, appearing in casual clothing rather than a suit,
skewering popular politicians such as Eisenhower, Joe McCarthy and JFK.
Sahl’s approach is energetic, tangential, and deep and wide in both
social and political scopes, inspiring Woody Allen, George Carlin and
countless other comedians.
A 1955 performance with Dave Brubeck was recorded and released (without
Sahl’s permission), selling as Mort Sahl At Sunset, and recently
recognized by the Library of Congress as the first stand-up comedy
record album.
When Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, Sahl regularly targeted the
government’s official Warren Commission Report during his routines,
resulting in the loss of much of Hollywood’s support, while maintaining
audience popularity with college tours and a best-selling book,
Heartland.
Sahl is the longest active performing American social satirist, spanning sixty years and eleven presidents.
