Proctor and Bergman

Proctor and Bergman

Proctor and Bergman are the comedians Philip Proctor and Peter Bergman, two of the four members of The Firesign Theatre. The two Midwestern members of the group performed as a double act for a while in the mid-1970s and recorded a few albums, though all four members continued to perform and record together.

In 1977, they were regulars on a summer replacement television series on CBS hosted by the Starland Vocal Band.

The screenplay for the 1979 movie "Americathon" was an adaptation by others of a play written by Proctor and Bergman.
