A comedian known for breaking down barriers, George Kirby was one of the first African-American comedians to gain acceptance in America. Kirby slowly made his way into the mainstream with appearances on TV shows such as THE TONIGHT SHOW and THE DEAN MARTIN SHOW in the 1960s, and consolidated his fame in the `70s with regular touring and several specially-commissioned TV shows of his own. One of these is presented here, with Kirby working his way through a variety of uproarious songs, impressions, and comedy routines at Grossinger s Hotel in upstate New York.
