A Jack Benny Festival is a hilariously historically apocryphal collection of tributes, parodies, and rarities of the world’s stingiest man—written, produced, and performed by Joe Bev.
With Mary Livingston, Rochester, Dennis Day, Phil Harris, Mel Blanc, Frank Nelson and the Sportsmen Quartet and special guest stars Paul Revere, Captain Horatio Hornblower, Gary Cooper, Bing Crosby, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Jerry Colonna, Johnny Dollar, and Jean-Paul Sartre.
Bonus tracks feature remastered recordings of Benny himself.
