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."

This radio dramatization of the classic movie, featuring the original stars, aired on October 13, 1941.

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

Abbott and Costello were an American comedy duo composed of comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, whose work with radio, film, and television made them the most popular comedy team of the 1940s and early 1950s, and the highest-paid entertainers in the world during World War II. Their patter routine "Who's on First?" is considered one of the best-known comedy routines of all time.[1] Their popularity waned in the early 1950s due to overexposure and changing tastes in comedy, and their film and television contracts lapsed. The partnership ended soon afterwards.

This Christmas comedy collection contains six classic radio programs from the '30s, '40s, and '50s.
