Ep 10: The First Stand-Up Comic! Part Two: Charley Case
Update: 2019-09-22
Description
Charley Case was a man of mixed white and African ancestry from the turn of the last century who wore blackface and invented the basics of stand-up comedy decades before anyone else. While he went forgotten for some time, in recent years he has become better remembered for his contributions. This is an episode I’ve very much looked forward to, as we examine and explore this classic vaudevillian and his enduring legacy.
