The Clothes Make The Comic

October 25, 2007

It’s the new and employed Brian Mollica, but even though he sold out to the man, he still enjoys gratuitous profanity.

Topics on the day include 80 year old rappers, comfort vs. perception when it comes to wardrobe, the BTB comedy tour gains momentum, a glossary of terms and a new segment to commemorate 1 year of peeking behind the bricks. Monster Rain!

The Year Of The Gore

October 18, 2007

It is a jam packed week on Behind The Bricks, and from 14 year old comics to Al Gore parlaying polar bears into pussy, Brian’s got something for everyone.

Topics include, performing in front of your significant other, bringing stand up to the comedy impoverished, Dane Cook sizzling the mic, but not with jokes, and a spotlight on one of the most polarizing “voices” in stand up. Excuse me ladies, the fellatio line starts here.

What’s The Deal With Sitcoms?

October 11, 2007

For those of you who grew up in the era of Jerry Seinfeld, Tim Allen, Rosanne Barr, and Drew Carey on television, it may come as a surprise that comics still don’t inspire sitcoms as they once did, but remember for every success there are a dozen failures, and eventually the bottom drops out. Brian discusses this phenomenon and highlights the best and wost comics to ever grace the small screen.

Listener topics include performing stand up for church goers, why there aren’t anymore comedy duos, does improv help stand up, stock heckler lines, and a frantic phone call from Hawaii’s newest comic. It’s ever so American.

Too Soon?

October 4, 2007

When it comes to stand up there is a fine line between edgy and asshole, and while some comics have mastered walking the tightrope, far more intend on going for shock value and find themselves booed off stage. Brian tries to define when pushing the limit goes too far and why the average open micer is not Lenny Bruce.

Other topics include an interview with a young up and comer (and I mean young) who is just days away from his first performance, the pro’s and con’s of eating until your stomach lining bursts, BTB’s British invasion, and an audience requested comedy spotlight who’s never been afraid to offend an audience. Good thing I’m not laying a big stanley steamer in here!
