About this album

Beyond The Fringe is a landmark British satire album, capturing the razor-sharp wit of Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Dudley Moore at the moment it reshaped comedy for a new generation. Emerging from the early-1960s boom in literary, political and cultural satire, the material takes aim at class, religion, war, television and respectable English taste with intelligence and bite. The recording preserves the stage chemistry that made the revue a sensation, and its influence can be heard in later British sketch comedy and alternative cabaret. As a document of modern satire finding its voice, it remains historically significant and sharply funny.
