The Firesign Theater created sketch comedy; fantastic, psychedelic, associative improv; and absurdist performances beginning in the mid-1960s. Four talented, imaginative friends began fashioning their own audio world at a Los Angeles listener-supported radio station. They graduated to albums, movies, and television through the years. Now only Phil Proctor and David Ossman survive. They bill themselves “What’s Left of the Firesign Theater” and they are in town for a series of weekend events, including WFHB’s Firehouse Follies. Part 1 of our interview with the two airs today. Tune in for Part 2 next week.
Host Michael Glab goes one-on-one with Bloomington’s most fascinating people every Thursday at 5:30pm. Tune in for a bonus feature, Big Talk Extra, every Monday on the Daily Local News at 5:00pm for added chat from the previous week’s show.
