Gallagher wants to talk to you about style. It might seem like an odd topic coming from this man who wails on watermelons with his Sledge-O-Matic, but that’s just what you get in this hour-long stand-up piece from 1983.For comedy’s prop master extraordinaire, style isn’t so much about finesse, as it is about flair.
The zany, unpredictable Gallagher is back in a comedy special taped live at the Mayfair Music Hall in Santa Monica, CA.
Featuring Gallagher’s most elaborate staging, and imaginative use of props, he really did go Overboard when he did this one. Based on taking it easy, Gallagher discusses the beach, sexy babes, and flying killer whales. It’s just plain fun!
Wacky, prop-laden comedian Gallagher begins this concert video by rollerskating onto the stage, waxing philosophically about shoes and then jokes about coming of age in the sixties, an experience obviously shared by the comedian’s exuberant audience. And bringing up the rear is the one, the only, Sledge-o-Matic routine.
