HELL RIDE - Larry Bishop (2008)

[oldshowbiz]

1967. 

Rob Reiner was nineteen years old when he formed a counterculture sketch troupe called The Session.

High school friends Rob Reiner, Richard Dreyfuss, Larry Bishop, David Arkin, Bobi Shaw, and Maj Dusay rehearsed in the basement of Royce Hall at UCLA. 

Reiner recalled, “When I was nineteen, I was at UCLA, and I ... realized there was no improv for us. Chicago had Second City. San Francisco had The Committee. New York had The Premise. Los Angeles didn’t really have an improv group. This was way before The Groundlings. So we decided to start one. Me and Richard Dreyfuss and Larry Bishop, who was Joey Bishop’s son, and some others who were good friends and funny people—Bobi Shaw and David Arkin—we all formed this group called The Session. We rehearsed at UCLA in the basement of Royce Hall for like, six months until we got a show together. Actually, the cops found us—the campus police—they found us and threw us out of there.”

Their first gig was at a club called the Great Society, but it went out of business almost as soon as they showed up. They found another small club near Sunset and Doheny, rented the space, and renamed it The Session. After performing for a year in Hollywood, they were booked for a four-week stint at the New York Playboy Club. They were reviewed by New York Times theater critic Vincent Canby. 

"The twice-nightly, 45 minute Session shows at the Playboy Club are a grab-bag of blackout sketches that range from the very flat to the very funny. There are heavy-handed little interludes that seek to evoke the delicate world of Jules Feiffer.”
