Item # 703827

November 10, 1966

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, Nov. 10, 1966

* Richard Pryor - stand-up comedian & actor
* Considered by many the best of all time
* Very early performance ad in NYC night club
* Cafe Au Go Go in Greenwich Village NYC


Page 21 has a variety of performance advertisements at local night clubs and cafes with one for a "Richard Pryor" appearance at the Cafe Au Go Go. (see image) This is very early for this famed comic.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete with 40 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive. Rare as such.

Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
