The National Lampoon Radio Hour

Gala Second Season Show

English · Humor, Satire, Radio

The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of National Lampoon to radio, with a cast performing comic sketches and satirical material. Its comedy draws on the magazine’s sharp, often outrageous approach to American life and popular culture.

The program is built around ensemble performance rather than a single narrator, using character voices, dialogue, and comic situations to deliver its jokes. The result is a varied sketch-comedy experience, with performers shifting among roles and styles as the show moves through its material.

Expect a playful, provocative tone and humor that can be absurd, pointed, and deliberately unconventional. The radio format gives the comedy room to unfold through voices and sound, making this a lively example of National Lampoon’s early-1970s comic sensibility.
