Partlor Performances at Steinway Hall presents Mort Sahl's America, with special opening act by musical humorist Marie Cain, a Goldstar favorite. Mort Sahl, who first took an irreverent stand on the cutting edge of American social and political humor in the early 1950s, refuses to slow down or soften his touch after five decades of ruffling the feathers of the powerful and affluent. The first humorist on the cover of "Time" magazine and the first nonmusician to win a Grammy, his comments today are as incisive as ever.
