Abbott & Costello™
Any discussion about the greatest comedy teams in show business history should begin and end with Abbott & Costello™. Officially teaming in 1936 and born of burlesque slapstick, the indomitable duo of Bud Abbott & Lou Costello mastered the straight man/clown relationship and transcended every entertainment medium throughout the course of their remarkable twenty one year partnership. From the burlesque stage to Broadway, from radio, film, and on to television, Abbott & Costello and their timeless brand of comedy conquered it all, culminating with the induction of their signature classic, “Who’s on First”™ into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1956. And thanks to the advent of DVDs, cable television and online streaming, new generations continue to discover the timeless humor and comedic genius of Abbott & Costello.
One of the classic comedy sketches of all time is now transformed into a priceless picture book by Quirk Books introducing new generations of Abbott and Costello fans to the world—and it’s a great read for kids of all ages. “Who’s on first…What’s on second…I Don’t Know’s on third.” Follow the mistaken identities, confusion, and lots of laughs as Rabbit and Bear act out this scene. Now available at all major book retailers nationally and online, also available for license.
