The National Lampoon Radio Hour

Miracle with Silly Putty

English · Radio, Humor, Satire, Dramatic Readings

The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of National Lampoon to radio, with a cast of performers presenting comic sketches and satirical material. Its comedy draws on the magazine’s sharp, often outrageous approach to American life and popular culture.

The program is an ensemble production rather than a single-narrator performance. Sketches and character-based scenes give the cast room to shift between voices and comic situations, creating a lively variety-show feel. The title “Miracle with Silly Putty” identifies this recording, while the show’s broader appeal lies in its brisk, unconventional comic sensibility.

Expect humor that can be absurd, pointed, and deliberately provocative, with the energy of a group of performers playing off one another. It offers a distinctive snapshot of National Lampoon’s radio comedy, where satire and silliness share the stage.
