The Further Adventures of Nick Danger, Third Eye
Play Description
Danger is Firesign's take on the hard-boiled detective character, with first-person narration and crazy adventures that often involve mistaken identity, and of course there's always a dangerous dame. The skits spoof the conventions of those old detective radio shows, right down to the special effects, the sponsors, the on-air host, the convoluted plots, and just about anything else that one might have heard on a classic serial.

Press Quotes
“The Beatles of comedy.” —Library of Congress
“The Firesign Theatre is a comedy group that uses the recording studio at least as brilliantly as any rock group …” —Robert Christgau
“… [Firesign is] the funniest team in America today, combining elements of W C Fields, James Joyce, Lord Buckley, contemporary television and Thirties radio, scrambling it all up in a collective consciousness that defies description, and then spewing it out in a free-form half-hour epic presentation of sheer insanity … Their timing is dynamite, their dialog kaleidoscopic, and their satire is, so to speak, acidic. WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN … a masterpiece of paranoia.” —Ed Ward, Rolling Stone
