#14261: REPORT FROM LONDON WITH DAVID FROST: ESTABLISHMENT, THE.

1963-08-11, , 7 min.

Nicholas Luard co-founder of the iconic comet night club, THE ESTABLISHMENT, is interviewed.

David Frost, performer, contributes commentary and skits related to the topic of "Class Society" in the UK.
One of the earliest radio/television appearances in the United States by David Frost contributing a special filming for a specific broadcast.

The Establishment was a London nightclub which opened in October 1961, at 18 Greek Street, Soho and which became known in retrospect for satire although at the time was a venue more commonly booking jazz acts and used for other events. It was founded by Peter Cook and Nicholas Luard, both of whom were also important in the history of the magazine Private Eye. The name "The Establishment" is a play on the meaning of "establishment" as in "institution," i.e. the club itself, and the broader definition meaning the prevailing social order of the time, which the satirists who founded, funded and performed at the club typically undermined.

The venue allowed the opportunity for budding comedians and satirists to perform new material in a nightclub setting, outside the jurisdiction of the Lord Chamberlain, whose censorship of language and content was a problem for many performers. Some who appeared included Lenny Bruce in 1962 (subsequently banned from entering the UK a year later), Barry Humphries (as Edna Everage), and musically, The Dudley Moore Trio. The Establishment, a tie-in album of comedy routines and sketches featuring John Bird, John Fortune, Eleanor Bron and Jeremy Geidt, was released on the Parlophone label in 1963.

The Establishment in London closed in 1964.
