Shelley Berman –
Actor, writer, another neurotic jewish comedian.
February 3, 1925 – September 1, 2017.
Aged 92 years.
Most recognized for: Long before playing Larry David’s dad on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Shelley was a Second City improv comic. His fame grew from a wildly popular onstage gimmick where he’d have a conversation with himself by holding an imaginary phone receiver to his face. Apparently, people were a helluva lot easier to entertain in the 50’s.
