Wavy Gravy

Wavy Gravy is the stage name of Hugh Romney, an American activist, comedian, and peace advocate prominent in the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Known for his humorous, theatrical persona, he often uses comedy to promote social causes like civil rights and anti-war efforts. As a founding figure of the Woodstock Festival in 1969, Wavy Gravy became symbolically associated with the peace and love ethos of that era. His work blends performance art with activism, aiming to inspire dialogue and positive change through humor, compassion, and community engagement.
