The National Lampoon Radio Hour

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

English · Humor, Satire, Radio

The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of the National Lampoon magazine to radio. Its comedy is performed by an ensemble of writers and actors, with sketches and satirical material drawing on the magazine’s sharp, often provocative sensibility.

The program moves among comic scenes and characters rather than following a single continuing story. Its radio format lets performers build jokes through dialogue, voices, and sound, while the material takes aim at familiar aspects of American life and popular culture. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are associated with this recording.

The result is a lively, unconventional comedy show with a mischievous edge. Listeners can expect a variety of comic performances and a style that favors surprise and satire over gentle, conventional humor.
