Pigmeat Markham was a fun Afro-American humorist & raconteur back in the 40s and 50s. Same time as Moms Mabely and Redd Foxx's early work on 78 rpm records.

I'll never forget Redd's "FUGG SOAP" monologue which ended with, ",,,you just take a bar and go Fugg yourself." Where (I believe) the Village Fuggs took/got the name for their band. (recorded on Folkways; irreverant & unique---very '60s)
