Does This Sound Rehearsed?

March 27, 2008

After being stood up by three different guys like a whore on prom night, Brian is alone behind the mic today and he’s as bitter - as a whore on prom night.

Topics on the day include rehearsing material - know when to say when, music vs. comedy - The senior circuit, is organizing the jokes in your act overrated, why hacks are so fucking funny, and why comics shouldn’t take requests.  Pardon me, can you dump your boyfriend, it’s messing up my unrealistic fantasies.  Thanks!

69, Get It?

March 21, 2008

Why is it when over the hill rockers pack their fat asses into spandex and play 30 year old songs people file into arenas and hold up lighters, but when a has been comic attempts the same feat everyone avoids eye contact?  Brian tries to explain this phenomenon and gets a great audio aide by a melon smashing baffoon.

Other topics include being too smart (or condescending) for the room, finding the perfect mix of nerves, are comedy teams still relevant, Texas tries it’s hand at the festival circuit and whipping your audience into shape.  Why you want beef and broccoli now?

Class Is In Session

March 13, 2008

So we’ve all heard Brian bitch about comedy classes and how you can’t learn comedy from a book.  But what if comedy class could help you earn a college degree?  Brian is joined by Steven Chappell, a college professor who is striving to teach that comedy is not necessarily just a laughing matter.

The History Of The Joke

March 6, 2008

Yet another media outlet has been trolling the BTB boards looking for ideas to steal.  This time it’s the History Channel and their “History of The Joke” special.  Brian breaks the special down category by category and gives the definitive answer on all things comedy.  Take that Robin Williams!

Other topics include the rapid decline of SNL, New York comics who are above it all, the lost art of the comedy cd, more praise rolls in for Steve Martin and two great tastes that taste great together…Then send you to hell.
