The Beach Song

by Sean Cullen.
Formerly of Corky and the Juicepigs, Sean has taken to doing
stand-up comedy, producing a clever song or two along the way.
I played this on the show just last night, a dark but honest
look at the state of beaches and the people who abuse them…

Fatal Beating

Finally! The powers that be at Rowan Atkinson central have
released a lot of the more famous, and hilarious,
comedy videos that he has produced over the last several years.
Top notch video and audio, doesn’t get any better.
I especially love the ones derived from the One Man Shows
that he did in the 80s.
This classic is performed with veteran British comic
Angus Deayton, watch the mannerisms and appreciate the
timing involved here, it’s also a very smart sketch!

Nude Beach

Oh, this is a great find!
Tom Parks is one of the best stand-up comedians on the planet.
A superbly funny man but I could never find any decent videos
of him performing live…until now.
He was huge in the 80’s and 90’s but disappeared from touring
and didn’t leave much in the way of material for us to ponder.
This is a partial performance of one of my favorite pieces of
all time from him, The Nude Beach…

Killer Robots From Venus

The Arrogant worms here with a very cool little number
about some very misunderstood…friends. I love the lyrics,
typical of that groups material, combining intelligence with
the whimsical is always a great recipe for a comedy piece.
“They seem so nice…”

Zalgon 26 McGee

Staying with an “alien” theme, I thought this would
be a great fit.
Our friends from the Great White Nord (spelling error intended)
The Radio Free Vestibules have been making me laugh for years,
they have been one of the better comedy troupes on the planet
for the last twenty or so. This is why…
