About Brother Theodore

Theodore Isidore Gottlieb (November 11, 1906 – April 5, 2001), known as Brother Theodore, was a German-born American actor and comedian known for rambling, stream-of-consciousness monologues which he called "stand-up tragedy". He was a man described as "Boris Karloff, surrealist Salvador Dalí, Nijinsky and Red Skelton…simultaneously". At age 32, under Nazi rule, he was imprisoned at the Dachau concentration camp until he signed over his family's fortune for one Reichsmark.

Additional quotes by Brother Theodore

I find it hard to sit still in one spot, and impossible to sit still in two spots.

I have gazed into the abyss, and the abyss has gazed into me. And neither of us liked what we saw.

My name, as you may have guessed, is Theodore. I come from a strange stock. The members of my family were mostly epileptics, vegetarians, stutterers, triplets, nailbiters. But we've always been happy.

I am squirming with delight to meet an intellectual colossus. - Brother Theodore
