Writing In A Vacuum

September 27, 2007

If you think performing stand up must be difficult, imagine a medium where you don’t have the luxury of using your voice, face and body to sell your material. That’s what only a handful of humor writers have accomplished, and today we give them their due.

Other topics include the merciful end of Last Comic Standing, reviews of the new specials by D.L. Hughley and Jeff Dunham, making a career of warming up crowds, and why you should always keep your pants on while shopping for strollers. You’re embarrassing the family!

Let’s Keep This Puppy Rolling Along

September 21, 2007

People go see a comedy show and go to work the next day raving about the hilarious headliner they saw the night before, and you know, that second guy wasn’t bad either, but what about the emcee? Brian talks about the “forgotten comic”, and why it may be the most important job in stand up.

Listener topics include, being influenced by other comics, why club owners like Scotty Goff are so rare, a “Last Comic Hacking” update, and some political comedy from the other side of the aisle. I don’t want to go on a rant here babe.

It’s To Get Political

September 6, 2007

Whether it’s roasting George Bush for his poor grammar, or sticking it to those hemp smoking commie liberals, you have to respect a comedian who will get up on stage with conviction and lay their beliefs out to a bipartisan audience. Brian discusses the pros and cons of this style of comedy and reminds you that jokes about Janet Jackson’s boob just aren’t funny anymore.

Listener topics include no one coming to Sagat’s defense, Brian’s uncanny ability to pick losers, and some tips on the birthing process. Who ordered the liver and onions?
