For 1979 Steve Martin returned to The Boardinghouse nightclub in San Francisco for his third comedy LP. Comedy Is Not Pretty is rather crude, particularly in Steve's somewhat embarassing sketch on Jackie Onassis. It nonetheless does hold up well, from his accident with a drinking glass onward. His Sound Effects gag is quite funny, and he brings out his Wild & Crazy trademark when he growls that the audience thinks he's A Rubberhead.
