Temporarily Humboldt County
by Firesign Theatre

This collection includes two short plays: WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN, OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM and TEMPORARILY HUMBOLDT COUNTY.

WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN, OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM is a mad Kafkaesque journey that takes a confused tourist into a shadowy world of Byzantine fascists.

TEMPORARILY HUMBOLDT COUNTY is a short history of European expansion and Native American displacement.

"The Beatles of comedy."

—Library of Congress

"The Firesign Theatre is a comedy group that uses the recording studio at least as brilliantly as any rock group …" —Robert Christgau

"… [Firesign is] the funniest team in America today, combining elements of W C Fields, James Joyce, Lord Buckley, contemporary television and Thirties radio, scrambling it all up in a collective consciousness that defies description, and then spewing it out in a free-form half-hour epic presentation of sheer insanity … Their timing is dynamite, their dialog kaleidoscopic, and their satire is, so to speak, acidic.

WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN … a masterpiece of paranoia."

—Ed Ward, Rolling Stone
