I was just watching a handful of clips from "An Evening at the Improv" on hulu. All of them were recorded between 1982 and 1996. A lot of it is the antiquated, hacky comedy that epitomized stand up in the 80s. It's all sport coats and goofy premises. Then, to cleanse my pallet I watched a bit of George Carlin's first HBO special, "On Location: George Carlin at USC". This was filmed in 1977, roughly a decade before a lot of the "Improv" stuff. It made me realize how far ahead of his time Carlin really was.
