	For immediate release
		Soon after, Firesign Theatre landed a contract with Columbia Records, and over the following decade they revolutionized the idea of what comedy albums could be, mashing up James Joyce, Samuel Beckett and William Shakespeare in a head-tripping mix of puns, satire, surrealism, and unforgettable characters – and selling well over a million LPs in meantime.
		Unfortunately many of Firesign’s radio broadcasts remain lost, but the group invites its fans to dust off their collections and offer up any home recordings, either from Firesign’s radio broadcasts or their even rarer television appearances, that might help fill the gaps in Firesign’s archive.
		All of Firesign Theatre’s albums for Columbia, as well as their many later recordings, are available on CD from www.laugh.com and www.lodestonecatalog.com.

	Firesign Theatre - Uncyclopedia
		The Firesign Theatre was founded in 1543 on the island of Manhattan to entertain new settlers of the continent of South Canada.
		During its long run of theatrical performances, the theatre hosted such hits as Beach Blanket Infected With Smallpox Bingo, Howl of the Wolf, Temporarily Humbolt County, and was the origins of the devastating theatre virus known as Cats.

	THE HIGH HAT \| POPS&CLICKS: Firesign Theatre
		Writing about the Firesign Theatre poses a similar problem to writing about other cult phenomena: they have a small core of smart, dedicated fans, and most of what there is to say about them has already been said.
		Beyond that, the Firesigns simply had more creative freedom than the Python troupe, who were shackled by their high profile and the short leash on which they were kept by a nervous BBC.
		In this sense, the Firesigns could be said to have made the same record over and over; but the mercurial changes in identity, setting, tone and character (not only from album to album, but within each album) meant that they also never made the same record twice.

		Firesign cleverly snares the most sensitive of concerns plaguing the psyche of the late 20th century.
		Side two features perhaps Firesign's most accessible and popular character, Nick Danger in, "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger." A humorous play on radio shows of the 1930s and 1940s, the bit was recorded by Firesign on the original RCA mikes CBS used to produce the old radios shows.
		Firesign's second LP was a hit, and record sales soared as college students, campus radio stations, and curious Firesign newbies took to the record shelves to experience for themselves the new voice of the new humorists.
