AbstractHistoryArchive Description

In this interview with Nat Phillips and Roy Rene the pair talk about their alter egos Stiffy and Mo, and their career together over the previous two and a half years. The interview also contradicts the long-held belief that Rene (Mo) and Phillips (Stiffy) worked along traditional comic/straightman lines, with Rene the principal comic and Phillips' the feed. Instead they worked the audience equally for laughs, sharing not only the punch lines and scenes of improvisation but also the storylines.
