Well the thing about Gallagher is he was really the first one to take fresh fruit and smash it on stage. It was really groundbreaking and influencial for new school fruit smashing comedians.

You know, no one ever mentions Gallaghers political and social commentary, which takes up 45 minutes of the show.

He was really the first one to combine both political and social commentary and the smashing of various fruits. It was really groundbreaking.

Is that what the ponchos are for in the first few rows? Does he shower the audience with aborted fetuses during the political portion of the show?

that is pretty cutting edge.
Not quite as cutting edge as "take my wife....please". Henny Youngman certainly should have been higher.

I think his twin bro sued him, and got control of all his material.

If cloning were legal, it would immediately jumpstart the economy by having thousands of Gallagher shows simultaneously running around the world.
