Posted here at the personal request of my friend, Mr. Dean "Elmo Gibb" Chambers, here is the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Clown Alley (circa 1980) performing that all-time classic of the American three-ring circus: THE FIREHOUSE GAG.
"FIREMEN! SAVE MY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
The gag was created by Jim Rutherford and is produced here by Jimmy Douglas.
Look for future Vidbel Alley staple, Mike Snider, fresh off of Ringling Lou Jacobs' former partner Mike Padilla and then Boss Clown Sandy Kaye.
I had a wonderful conversation with Dean last night and look forward to the next!
For some reason I remember someone from the Beatty-Cole alley tellimg me that Sandy Kaye had/was going to have/a very familiar HOLIDAY INN towel with the green stripe as one of his accessories when he exited the fire house. Elmo,Sandy, anyone?
