BUCKLEY!: The Incredible Story of the First Hip Comedian

(Lord) Richard Buckley was born to a dirt-poor mining family in Tuolumne,CA at about the same time as the great San Francisco earthquake. Perhaps there was a link between the two events, because Buckley was to SHAKE the world of entertainment and comedy like few before or after. From the Walkathons of the Depression, to The Ed Sullivan Show, to the hippest clubs of N.Y., Chicago and L.A., Lord Buckley blazed a new path of thought-provoking comedy that presaged Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, and the very best of today's socially-conscious funnymen.
