Peter Bergman - Birth of The Firesign Theatre

The Sexy Boomer Show celebrates the birth of The Firesign Theatre Comedy Group, with clips of their live radio performances in the 1960s—1970s. Radio Free Oz began as a free-form radio show hosted by Paul Robbins and Peter Bergman on the Los Angeles station KPFK in July 1966. Bergman invited three friends, Phil Austin, the show's producer; David Ossman, the radio station's former dramatic director; and Sexy Boomer Show co-host Phil Proctor, an actor and Bergman's former college mate, to form The Firesign Theatre, masters of surreal radio comedy. Time travel to the groovy 1960s, and dig the crazy sounds and trippy callers, man!
