An Evening with Groucho

Everybody Works but Father

English · Humor, Radio

An Evening with Groucho brings listeners into the company of Groucho Marx, whose quick wit and playful irreverence shape this radio comedy program. The title’s “Everybody Works but Father” suggests a comic subject, but the pleasure of the show rests above all in Groucho’s lively presence and verbal humor.

As a radio performance, the program lets Groucho’s voice and timing carry the entertainment, turning conversation and comic exchanges into a close-up listening experience. Its appeal is the chance to enjoy his distinctive style through sound: nimble wordplay, teasing humor, and the sense of a performer delighting in the moment.

Warm, mischievous, and conversational, the show offers a compact encounter with one of comedy’s most recognizable personalities. Listeners drawn to Groucho’s sharp delivery and playful approach to everyday subjects will find its central attraction in the humor and character he brings to the microphone.
