Brother Dave Gardner went from being the darling comic of Jack Paar’s Tonight Show in the early 1960s to a racist extremist by the end of the decade.
At one gig in 1970, Gardner called for applause for Spiro Agnew and Martha Mitchell before ranting about “commie long-haired traitor hippies. By God … You can fly as high on patriotism as a hippie on acid … I’d love to join a patriotic outfit – like the Klan, only I ain’t got enough morals.”
The September 1969 issue of Harper’s Magazine featured a long story about his transformation into an N-word spewing comic and his close association with J. Robert Jones, Grand Dragon of the North Carolina United Klans of America.
Between 1968 and 1974, Brother Dave Gardner traveled with a KKK entourage and his comedy devolved into sheer racism. When a group of Black patrons walked into a Gardner gig at a club called the Grove just outside of Charlotte, the maitre’d told them, “I don’t think this is your type of show.” Within three minutes Brother Dave Gardner was provoking the table, shouting, “James Baldwin is a low-life, bug eyed, queer [N-word].” He then pointed at the table and said, “Here’s one of them bastards.”
The table started heckling and two imposing Klansmen walked toward the group. The manager rushed over and offered the group a full refund. “I had him here about three years ago and made good money,” lamented the club owner. “He was doing more straight comedy then – not so much of this political nonsense ... This time he’s knocking everything ... the colored, even the dead Kennedys. It’s a disaster. People are calling up to complain.”
Extremism was a family affair. Brother Dave Gardner’s father, Virgil C. Gardner, was arrested in October 1968 for a hate crime against three Black males on a street corner. The elder Gardner fired at the three pedestrians with a shot gun, severing the hands of one of the men.
By the early 1970s Brother Dave Gardner was persona non grata in show business and his only high profile gigs were at campaign rallies for Governor George Wallace.
