This guy again! Performing, kibbitzing, and grouching around at the 2024 Al Jolson Festival.

Let's talk about THE COCOANUTS (1929)! The next MBCP episode will feature YOUR questions, comments & insights about the 1st surviving Marx movie. For details, here's a note from Bob (maybe Adams, maybe Gassel), left in a hollow tree stump at Cocoanut Manor. Monkey Doodle do it!

Oh, how you can get stucco listening to the first of our "Revisited" episodes, featuring listener-submitted comments! Some feel THE COCOANUTS is essential, given its proximity to Broadway; others feel that its technical limitations blah blah blah. marxbrotherscouncilpodcast.com/episodes/2024/…

"I never forget a face..."

This is heartbreaking. There's no venue in Manhattan quite like the Connelly Theater. It was a perfect home for I'LL SAY SHE IS in 2016, and for many other worthy productions before and since. We hope this important arts venue can be salvaged. nytimes.com/2024/10/22/the…

I'm volunteering with Activate America to send postcards to swing state voters. You can do the same at activateamerica.vote/postcards, or find plenty of other remote and/or in-person volunteer opportunities at kamalaharris.com. It's not too late to do something!

In Episode 74, meet David Fleming. David's aunt was Erin Fleming, Groucho's manager/companion during his final years. With candor and insight, David shines new light on this controversial figure and the role she played at the end of our hero's life. marxbrotherscouncilpodcast.com/episodes/2024/…

The new The Marx Brothers Council Podcast bonus segment is something a little different. We hope you enjoy it. patreon.com/posts/115048188
