Robert Klein grew up in the upper middle-class lifestyle
-- a nice home, a garden, a two-car garage. As a child, Robert watched
comedians like Alan King and Jackie Mason rail about the life he himself
was living. When Klein graduated from the Yale Drama School, he began
a career of improv and stand-up, teaching school during the day. Frustration,
irritation, and angst all came through in Klein's material as he talked
about just how inhibited a middle-class childhood could be. He received
Grammy nominations for his first two comedy albums, and eventually balanced
stand-up with acting roles. Robert Klein was the voice of the new generation
of young urban professionals, people complaining about familiar, everyday
things.
