Humor of the late 1970¹s could not be better typified than by Shelley Berman; dry, articulate, sarcastic and sometimes poignant.

Filmed at the Playboy Club in Chicago and presented on HBO, he presents some of his best known routines such as, ‘The Department Store, ’The Mechanical Heart,’ ‘Language Barrier’ and ‘Little Embarrassing Moments,’ plus a moving tribute to his father.

Best known today as Larry David¹s father on ‘HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm,’ Berman¹s comedic timing cannot be surpassed.
