Product Description

Henny Youngman was a comedian and violinist famous for “one-liners,” short, simple jokes usually delivered rapid-fire, occasionally with interludes of violin playing. His best-known one-liner is “Take my wife, please!” • A typical stage performance by Youngman lasted only about fifteen to twenty minutes, but contained literally dozens of jokes. • This collection of his classic one-liners has been unavailable for over 10 years. • An additional 20 minutes of very funny previously unreleased outtakes have been added to the original 34-minute album. • Even if you don’t have a funny bone in your body, you can’t help but laugh at Henny Youngman’s jokes.
