Description: The Golden State Theatre is proud to welcome the legendary alternate-reality comedy group The Firesign Theatre to Monterey.

The Firesign Theatre, once described by The Library of Congress as "The Beatles of Comedy," specialize in a unique, multi-media form of non-linear humor.  They were ranked among the "Thirty Greatest Comedy Acts of All Time" by Entertainment Weekly in 1997.

The troupe has undertaken film-making, book-writing, television, radio and stage productions. Some twenty-plus record albums, three films, three television specials, two books and innumerable radio programs have been the result.

The Firesign Theatre’s most famous character creation, “Nick Danger, Third Eye,” was born in 1969, as Side Two of their never out-of-print second LP release for Columbia, “How Can You Be In Two Places At Once, When You’re Not Anywhere At All?” The album introduced not only Nick and his radio nemesis Sgt. Bradshaw, sleezy weasel Rocky Rococo, old girlfriend Nancy, and Catherwood, the troublesome butler, but, on the flip side of the disk, Ralph Spoilsport, L.A.’s great TV car salesman (“Hiya, friends!”).

The group is marking Nick Danger’s 40th Birthday with a new boxed cd set and this rare concert performance.

Other albums include Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him, Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers, I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus, Everything You Know Is Wrong, Give Me Immortality or Give Me Death, Boom Dot Bust,  Bride of Firesign and the newly released Box of Danger.
