{"product_id":"824046911027-complete-albums-1959-62","title":"JONATHAN WINTERS | COMPLETE ALBUMS 1959-62","description":"Jonathan Winters was an American comedian, actor, broadcaster, TV presenter, artist and author who received eight Grammy nominations for Best Comedy Album during his career. He had a troubled childhood and developed his comedy persona as a response to his emotional traumas, and won a talent competition which led to a job as a DJ where his comedy gradually took over the show. He was a constant sufferer from nervous breakdowns and bi-polar disorder, which contributed to his approach as a pioneer of improvisational stand-up comedy, with a gift for impressions and mimicry, developing a range of characters that he used in his act - as he said himself: \"I was fighting for the fact that you could be funny without telling jokes\". This 3-CD set comprises the complete contents of his first five albums, all on the Verve label - \"The Wonderful World of Jonathan Winters\", \"Down To Earth\", \"Jonathan Winters In Concert: Here's Jonathan\", \"Another Day, Another World\" and \"Humor Seen through the Eyes of Jonathan Winters\", all of them recorded in front of a 'live' audience. It naturally includes many of the routines which made him famous on TV. For those unfamiliar with his work, it's a great introduction to a highly individual entertainer, and for those revisiting his work from those times, it's a feast of comedy very much of it's era, but which laid the groundwork for later performers","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":53461174845740,"sku":"al-824046911027","price":60.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/3983072-2743824.jpg?v=1784781021","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/824046911027-complete-albums-1959-62","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
