About the standup

"If people come away relating to me as a person, rather than just enjoying my jokes; if they come away wanting to hear me again, no matter what I might talk about, then I'm succeeding."

In the three years period of 1964 - 1966, Allen released three comedy albums, called Woody Allen, Woody Allen Volume 2 and The Third Woody Allen Album. The best sketches are then collected in his 1978 release of Woody Allen: Standup Comic, which is the only CD found in stores today. It is filled with great laughs and is rated among The Top Five best standup albums of the century.

It is really difficult to describe the sketches and get the same impression as Allen. Therefore we have few audio samples of his standup and some scenes from the Woody Allen TV Special 1969.
