Beloved movie and television stars Bud Abbott and Lou Costello made their name on the radio, and the resulting long-running radio show preserved a rich vaudeville tradition and sensational comedy sketches. The sarcasm of Abbott's stern straight man is the perfect comedic compliment to the muffled screams of Costello's blustery "baaaad boy."

Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo composed of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, whose work on radio and in film and television made them the most popular comedy team of the 1940s and early 1950s. The show mixed comedy with musical interludes and special guests. The real lives of the duo were often folded into comedy bits, creating even more dynamic fun for the audience and the performers themselves. Word play was a signature theme of Abbott and Costello, as made most famous in their "Who's On First" routine.To check out more Abbott and Costello go to Oldtimeradioclub.com
