Peter Bergman (comedian)

Peter Paul Bergman (born November 29, 1939 in Cleveland, Ohio) is a member of The Firesign Theatre. He is "the bald one" who plays Lt. Bradshaw in the Nick Danger series.

The Firesign Theatre was formed as a result of Bergman's show "Radio Free Oz" on KPFK. According to Bergman, "I started July 24th, 1966 on KPFK ... I had some very interesting people around me, which those folks became The Firesign Theatre: David Ossman was connected with the station, Phil Austin was connected with the station, and Phil Proctor came out to do a show and we connected in LA and that was really the genesis of that whole happening."

Bergman also claims to have coined the word "love-in" in 1967, and to have organized the first such event in April 1967 in Los Angeles. [http://www.firesigntheatre.com/albums/bergman.html Peter Bergman ] ]

Bergman was a Eugene O'Neill playwriting fellow at Yale University, and has worked with Tom Stoppard, Derek Marlowe, Piers Paul Read and Spike Milligan.
