Chris Costello has been lecturing on Abbott
& Costello for over 20 years. Author of the best-selling book on her father, Lou’s
On First, Chris takes you on a virtual journey through time --- Lou’s boyhood
years, Bud and Lou’s early beginnings, their teaming up in burlesque,
behind-the-scenes of their partnership and growing up as the child of one of our
century’s best loved comedians.
From the Costello family archives, Chris
presents her lecture with a powerful slide show of some familiar, not so familiar and
never before seen photos. Chris brings to life her father and the team of Abbott &
Costello as never before seen. Naturally, one can’t think of Abbott & Costello without their legendary signature skit, WHO’S
ON FIRST … Chris shares interesting family anecdotes about the routine and how they
never performed it the same way twice! To close the lecture, Chris shows an 8-min.
colorized of WOF from their popular television show series (1952), followed by a Q&A
session with the audience. (Optional) Autographed copies of “Lou’s On
First” and the WOF framing text following lecture.
