  • Summary

  • The "Burns and Allen Show" was a popular American comedy show that aired on radio and television from the 1930s through the 1950s. The show starred George Burns and Gracie Allen, a real-life married couple, and was known for its witty humor and comedic sketches. The show often featured George Burns as the straight man and Gracie Allen as the comically confused character. Gracie's unique style of illogical and absurd reasoning, often referred to as "Gracie-logic," was a central element of the humor. George would play along with her misunderstandings and provide humorous commentary, creating a dynamic and hilarious interplay between the two. The show was known for breaking the fourth wall, with George Burns frequently addressing the audience directly and providing commentary on the events happening within the skits. The comedic routines often revolved around misunderstandings, wordplay, and absurd situations, which were the basis for much of the humor. This Naples Players Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of Michael Troop as George Burns and Jimmy Cash and the duck, Janina Birtolo as Gracie Allen, Jim Heffernan as Paul, Jim Corsica as Bill Goodwin, and Mitchel Frank as Keith.
