Ossman is poet, comedian, producer, anthologist, and teacher. He is best known for his role as George Tirebiter in Firesign Theatre’s “Don’t Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers.” Ossman’s collection of radio interviews, “The Sullen Art,” is considered a Beat-era classic.
Firesign Theatre’s four-member troupe has entertained for decades with stream of consciousness performances that reference politics and pop culture mixed with sound effects and music. Comprised of Ossman, Phil Proctor, Peter Bergman, and Phil Austin, Firesign debuted on radio in 1966 with a three-hour mock news broadcast
.
Recently, Ossman published a book of poetry, Fools & Death, and a mystery novel, The Ronald Reagan Murder Case.
