The inimitable Ed Gardner stars as Archie, the bartender at Third Avenue’s most magnificent dive bar: Duffy’s Tavern. He’s got big dreams and wild schemes – most of which rely on the participation of prominent celebrities. But that’s okay, because the stars saunter in right on cue!Come hear Jimmy Durante, Esther Williams, Rudy Vallee, Rex Harrison, Dinah Shore, and many more banter with the bartender. Regulars Eddie Green and Charlie Cantor add a little local flavor, along with the three actresses who take on the role of Miss Duffy, Florence Halop, Florence Robinson, and Sandra Gould.
