Abbott & Costello

Legendary American Comedy Duo

Abbott and Costello were not musicians or a band, but rather a famous American comedy duo composed of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Their work was primarily in film, radio, and television, and they are best known for their routine "Who's on First?"—considered one of the greatest comedy sketches of all time. They began working together in burlesque theaters in the early 1930s before transitioning to radio and eventually becoming one of the most popular and highest-paid entertainers in the 1940s. Their films, such as "Buck Privates" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," were huge hits and are still celebrated today. While they did not produce music albums, their influence on comedy has been long-lasting, with their routines often being referenced or recreated in various media forms.
