This is the second time we've seen the Those Were the Days Radio Players and they are quite the talented group, regular stage performers if you will, only they get to read the scripts. Their show is complete with sound effects and involves lots of crowd participation, even if we don't really need the applause or laugh cards to do our part.
And, they make sure their skits are humorous.
They began with an old radio show called "Life With Luigi" where Luigo Vasco writes his mama in Italy about what is going on in Chicago where he lives. A recurring person is 300 pound Rosa, who her dad Pasquador is trying to marry off as a great catch.
The show itself started in 1948 on CBS Radio and ran until 1953. It was even on TV in 1952, but never caught on.
Friend Pasquelli set up :uigi for a "dance date" in this episode
They also did "The Magnificent Montague" about a Shakespearean actor now forced to act in a soap opera starring Monty Woodie.
