Episode 406 – Geoff Dale 2
Over a century ago, a comedy team was formed that would soar in popularity due to their physical comedy. The Three Stooges is that team & most folks recognize Moe, Curly and Larry as this dynamic group. But there were several other “stooges” that appeared throughout the years, including Shemp Howard. My guest on this episode of The PVDcast is author Geoff Dale, the man who penned the book, Much More than a Stooge: Shemp Howard. Geoff shares details about Shemp’s dramatic roles in other projects, misconceptions about him and his career with the Stooges.
