Andy Kaufman is one of those comedy legends that people either love or hate. I love him. Lise hates him.
Here is is, at Carnegie Hall, in 1979, messing with audiences and making them laugh, and wince, and be uncomfortable. Kaufman didn’t consider himself a comedian so much as a prankster and performance artist.
This show has it all. Tony Clifton, little kids, his grandmother on stage, wrestling women, and taking the entire audience out for milk and cookies after the show.
Is he telling the truth about himself? Is this sincere? It is very hard to know.
Doubtful that there is swearing in this, but we’ll warn anyway that humor can be offensive and difficult for some, so don’t watch this if your funny bone is damaged or weak.
