The Ed Wynn Show
Poor House Behind the Hill
par
Ed Wynn brings his distinctive comic personality to this radio program, blending spoken comedy with the lively, theatrical style that made him a familiar entertainer. The episode is identified as “Poor House Behind the Hill,” a title that suggests a comic story or sketch at the center of the broadcast.
Wynn’s performance is the main attraction: an expressive, character-driven approach shaped by his experience in vaudeville and stage comedy. The program offers a glimpse of early radio entertainment, where a performer’s voice and timing carry the humor directly to listeners.
With its vintage broadcast sound and theatrical comic delivery, The Ed Wynn Show suits listeners curious about the transition of stage comedy to radio and the personality-led programs of the early 1930s.
