Let Fear Rule

Kyle Kinane is one of the best stand-up comedians on the circuit.
He’s a different type of comic, hard to classify, but very funny.
His observational humor is unlike anything I’ve seen before.
I would love to see him live on stage.
He seems like a huge Tostito fan.
Some great lines here…

The Hostage

Kurt Weitzmann has reaffirmed my faith in the modern comedy sketch.
It’s been a dying commodity since the decline of radio, very little comedy
being released that deals with just the audio side of the equation.
We live in a video world now, not sure I like that.
A great piece, very happy to play this on the show…

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

Tom Lehrer just passed away, and I’m having a hard
time posting this.
There has never been anyone quite like him, he was
one of a kind.
A supremely talented songwriter, his lyrics are top shelf,
his performances even better.
Musician, mathematician, professor, and one of the most
irreverent comedians to ever grace a stage!
Not a flaw in his game, everything he did was superb, and
very much ahead of its time.
He will be SORELY missed by all who appreciate humor
and satire.
I will be playing him a lot on the show in the next few weeks.
Starting off with this irreverent gem, just him and his piano.
The fully orchestrated version will come later.
R.I.P. Mr. Lehrer, you WILL be missed…

Dubai

Ahmed Ahmed was on the first wave of a wonderful addition
to the stand-up world of comedy.
Back in the early millennium the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour
started with the hope that through humor one could help
repair the relations between Muslims and non Muslims.
It worked like a charm, at least for those who actually saw
the performances.
Ahmed Ahmed was one of the comedians that impressed me.
He’s smart, well educated, and pretty damned funny.
Some good lines here, all the while teaching us things we
need to know…
