Sun. Aug. 26

 Certainly, the phrase "legend of comedy" is over-used, but in Mort Sahl's case, who can argue? The 80-year-old satirist was honored last year at a tribute in L.A. by Bill Maher, Richard Lewis, Albert Brooks, Woody Allen, Jay Leno and Jonathan Winters, among others. And Sahl has been doing political satire long before most of us were born - and still is. He's concluding a rare four-day stand at Jimmy Tingle's Off Broadway Sunday August 26 at 3. Some tidbits: Sahl was the first comic to hit Time magazine's cover (1960) - he's also been on Life, Look, Playboy and Vanity Fair, too. He made the very first comedy album and was the first non-musician to win a Grammy. Does he still have it? Well, at a recent political fundraiser, people kept asking him about the Democratic candidates for president and using the "He's just like Kennedy" line. To which, Sahl turned to a waiter and asked, "Is there anyone in the Democratic Party who isn't like Kennedy? Yeah, Ted Kennedy." (Note: Sahl wrote some speeches for JFK.)
