description: "Theodore Isidore Gottlieb, professionally 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\". His style is similar to Diseuse or Kabarett, which was popular in Western Germany during the 1920s and '30s. He was described as \"Boris Karloff, surrealist Salvador Dalí, Nijinsky and Red Skelton…simultaneously\"."
