INTERVIEW BEGINS AT:  17:59

As per legend. one night in Nacogdoches, Texas in the year 1912, a group of vaudeville performers turned on their audience, dropped the act and comedy history changed forever, Soon Leonard, Adolph, Julies, Milton (and later baby brother Herbert) became  Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo (and later Zeppo) or just simply The Marx Brothers....

Vaudeville headlining followed, then to Broadway, for not one, not two, not even four!! but three amazingly successful shows, next step, talkies...as by 1929 Movies had sound, and who better to talk to an audience than Groucho Marx, and in one of the earliest talking pictures the Marx Brothers had a smash hit with their stage show Coconuts, followed by their stage hit Animal Crackers in 1930, then off to Hollywood and from 1931 to 1949 the Brothers appeared in 11 more films, (12 if you count The Story Of Mankind) and became icons forever, whos careers lasted until their deaths, and their legacy lives on to this day.

The first of their Broadway shows, I'll Say She Is, was never filmed, and thought a lost relic of a time past, that is until Noah Diamond spent years finding out all there was to know about this gem, and actually PUT THE SHOW ON.

Today we are thrilled to be joined by Noah to discuss all things Marxist
