Woody Allen is a live 1964 comedy album by the American comedian and later notable film director Woody Allen. This was Allen's debut recording, and was recorded at Mister Kelly's nightclub in Chicago. It was the first of three comedy albums released by Allen. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Performance at the 7th Annual Grammy Awards in 1965; it lost to Bill Cosby's album I Started Out as a Child, which coincidentally had also been recorded at Mister Kelly's. Reception Billboard magazine highlighted the album as a Comedy Spotlight in their July 25, 1964 issue and wrote that "He is a very funny fellow. The material is uniformly hilarious throughout the album. Of course Allen's delivery is polished to a point whereby he may soon be the nation's No 1. comedian". Track listing "Private Life" "Brooklyn (incl. Floyd)" "The Army" "Pets (incl. Spot)" "My Grandfather" "My Marriage" "The Bullet" "N.Y.U." "A Love Story" "The Police (incl. Library Book, Neanderthal)" "Summing Up"
