Allen, Fred (1894–1956)
| US comedian. Allen wrote much of his material and was one of the first American comedians to employ situations and a cast of characters that satirized topical events. He appeared in vaudeville and Broadway shows before moving to radio in the 1930s and to television in the 1950s. His television shows included The Colgate Comedy Hour, 1953–54, and Fred Allen's Sketchbook (1954). |
