Lou Costello
Comedian; Abbott and Costello, Who's on First?
"A sensitive comedian with an adaptable spirit."
The story so far
Comedian whose small, panicked delivery made Abbott and Costello the biggest box office draw in America during the war years. Who is on First outlived everything else the pair did, and it belongs as much to Bud Abbott's patience as to Costello's rising alarm.
