Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Woody Allen Standup Comedy - Vodka Ad and Las Vegas

In the early 1960s, before he started down the road of producing, directing, and acting in 65 films, Allen began performing as a stand-up comic, emphasizing monologues rather than traditional jokes. 

As a comic, he developed the persona of an insecure, intellectual, fretful nebbish, which he maintains is quite different from his real-life personality. 

In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Allen in fourth place on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comics, while a UK survey ranked Allen as the third greatest comedian.

For this Throwback Thursday, let's turn the calendar back to 1967 and see Woody in a standup routine on the Dean Martin Show talking about the time when he was offered a role in a vodka ad and when he performed in Las Vegas.
 
Enjoy!
