The National Lampoon Radio Hour
The Canadian Show
by
The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of the National Lampoon magazine to radio. Its comedy is performed by an ensemble of actors and comedians, with a satirical sensibility that takes aim at American culture, institutions, and everyday life.
The program combines comic sketches with character-based scenes and other short-form material. The title “The Canadian Show” signals a Canada-themed installment, while the series’ broader format offers a variety of voices and comic situations rather than a single continuous story.
Expect sharp, sometimes provocative satire and an energetic ensemble performance. The show’s humor can be absurd, pointed, and deliberately unconventional, making it a distinctive example of countercultural radio comedy.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
