In the 1950s Woody Allen began a career in show business as a comedy writer for tv shows like Your Show of Shows and The Garry Moore Show. By the 60s, he’d graduated to performing his material in stand-up venues across America. For a handful of these years (before embarking on a career of movie making) several of his live performances were captured on disc. This the second of Woody’s three records of stand-up material was recorded at The Shadows in Washington, D.C., April 1965.
