Anyone remember a comedy routine from the 1960s or so, an American comedian doing a Russian Red Riding Hood:

Wolf: Where are you goink?
RRR: To bring the grandmozzer some soup.
Wolf: Soup? Vy are you not at the Committee for the Stonink of Embassies?

(Or something of that sort.) My neighbour was telling me about this, and I'd love to hear the original. Who was the comedian and what was the skit called?

A different slant on the Stan Freburg version ( Only the colour has been changed to avoid an investigatiom ) I'd like to get hold of that Russian one too !!

sounds like a 'Fractured Fairy Tale' with Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle, but it could also have been a stand-up comedy routine.

Henry Morgan's "Russian Little Red Riding Hood" from a 1946 radio program,sometimes played on WFMT's Midnight Special program. See the discography here (click me) -- scroll down to "Henry Morgan."
