An Evening with Mal Sharpe
A conversation with half of the legendary 1960's street prank improv team Coyle and Sharpe, hosted by Upright Citizens Brigade member Matt Walsh.
Armed with a hidden audio recorder, Coyle and Sharpe prowled the streets of San Francisco throughout the early '60's pulling off street pranks on unsuspecting passersby. Their KGO radio show "Coyle & Sharpe on the Loose" brought the team a huge following leading to the release of two albums on Warner Bros. Records: 1963's "The Absurd Imposters" and 1964's "The Insane (But Hilarious) Minds of Coyle & Sharpe." One of the more intense fans of Coyle and Sharpe's work turned out to be Henry Rollins who helped bring their work to a new generation with the release of two new albums: 1995's "Coyle & Sharpe on the Loose" (2.13 Records) and 1999's "Coyle & Sharpe: Audio Visionaries, Street Pranks and Put-Ons" (Thirsty Ear). In 2000, Coyle and Sharpe's work was included in a "sound art" exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Audio clips of their work can be heard through their website - coyleandsharpe.com.
