Jim Coyle and Mal Sharpe - avant-garde humorists who predate Ali G by 40 years - began their careers in San Francisco in 1964. Working for KGO, they used hidden microphones to assault the populace with absurdist skits and man-on-the-street interviews. Below, their famous "Warbler" bit, followed by a sketch for their tv show, in which they harass an unsuspecting job-seeker.
Coyle & Sharpe: These 2 Men Are Imposters is a three-CD and one-DVD collection of their work, available from our friends at Goner Records.
