You've probably heard of "Moms" Mabley-- an old time black comic who was wildly popular on the chitlin' circuit before white audiences found her. If not, there are some pretty good routines on YT.
I'm thinking of another old time hipster comedian named Lord Buckley who was unique and way before his time in the '50s. He was a hit with the Beatnik set, and later with underground entertainer types, although he died in 1960. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Buckley

I do know of them, and have a few thick books on comedy, but have never seen them on the screen, but will check them out soon. Thanks!
