Friday Fun: A Comedy Tonight!



Something familiar,
Something peculiar,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!

Something appealing,
Something appalling,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!

Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns;
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!

Old situations,
New complications,
Nothing portentous or polite;
Tragedy tomorrow,
Comedy tonight!

Something convulsive,
Something repulsive,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!




There's so much to love about this clip from a 1974 episode of The Carol Burnett Show which features Joel Grey and Vincent Price.  Here, the company begins with a favorite Sondheim tune and launches into a routine which I find wholly amusing.  

Enjoy!
