The original author of this timeless chestnut of American Burlesque was the legendary Joey Faye. Joey started in the Borcht Belt in the Catskills and made his way to Minsky's Old Republic in the 1930's after working in radio, writing for and directing Kate Smith and Bert Lahr. Joey was a prolific writer of the great sketches,amassing 8000 of them, including "Floogle Street" which was later performed by Abbott and Costello. (Susquehanna Hat Co.)
He later went on to the legitimate stage and films. His career spanned 70 years with seamless transition in all phases.
He won an award for his performance in Samuel Beckett's "Waiting For Godot" opposite Jack Albertson playing Estragon.
He would be 100 years old this year.
