My Jobs

Brian Regan is one of the best stand-up comedians
of all time, easy top ten.
The all time king of snark, it has served him very well.
I like his older material better in some ways, he
seemed hungrier then, but it’s all quite good.
This is a great bit for it’s subtlety, his snark is
reined in a bit but that just adds to the expectation.
A very funny performance…


Liposuction

Da Vinci’s Notebook with an energetic little
ditty about losing fat the easy way.
Why bust your backside in a gym when
you can just break out the old Electrolux
and suck all your flab away?!
Ewwwww!
That’s why…

Shaun of the Dead…How to

Be a Zombie in Three Easy Lessons!
Shaun, Ed, Mum and the rest are trying to impersonate
the walking dead in order to get to the pub.
Natch.
Some are better than others, but you can see that they
are trying their best and that’s what counts.
I highly recommend this flick, lots of laughs to go
with all the blood, guts, and profanity.
There’s a bit of blue in this scene, but we all wear
adult undies (most of us anyway) and the urge to
suck it up should be the dominant paradigm here.
And if you still use a flip phone, you deserve to have
it slapped into the next county…


Personal Fitness Plan

James P Connolly with a look at keeping fit and working out.
The best laid plans of mice and men.
I used to be a gym rat, still am in a way, I have a set-up
in my basement, working out on a regular schedule.
I couldn’t afford a gym membership anymore so I
decided to invest in some decent equipment.
I highly recommend doing so, you won’t regret it.
But enough about me, this is James P’s moment…



Comedy 101 Radio 8.27.20

I played some of my personal favorites last night.
Kellen Erskine is a superb stand-up comedian,
he has a way of mining a topic for humor unlike
any other comic that I have seen.
A classic by Harry Belafonte and Odetta.
One of my very favorite pieces from Emo Philips.
Mike Toomey with a great sketch.
The Reverend Billy C Wirtz with one Hell of a
funny tune.
Food block.
The Mrs. Ackroyd Band with a sad, yet hilarious,
tune of love unfulfilled.
A Certified Guitar Player with a betting lament.
Kyle Kinane with a very humorous observation.
Peter and Dudley with a SUPERB classic sketch
that contains one of the best one-liners in all of
comedy history.
Genitalia block.
Nope, not kidding…you needed to be there.
Yes it was tasteful.
No, I don’t care what your Mom thinks.
Onward and upwards…
