Comedy 101 Radio 2.24.22

The Bolivian Sunshine Dogs are a talented band.
They did a cover of Eric Idle’s classic that I enjoy.
Ken Nordine with an interesting interplanetary piece.
The Cowards were/are a superb comedy duo that nobody
has ever heard of, a shame really.
Todd Snider with a grand tune of alcoholic proportions.
Stewart Francis is obnoxiously punny, I play him anyway.
The Perch…where are they now?
Book block.
It works, mate!
Logger block.
Ditto!
Bobby did a Shel piece.
Monty Python with a nice slice from Life of Brian.
Brooks and Fraser with a clever comedy sketch.
Mr. Alazraqui with a very funny bit.
Tracy Thielen is sorely missed, hell of a talent.
As is Bon Scott.
Paul and Bob have issues.
Kathleen gets the top rung.
Onward and gaining altitude…

Humpback Whales

This is a pretty funny piece from the late, great Tony Hendra.
He did a lot of work for National Lampoon, both the magazine
and the radio show, and deserves much credit for his total
comedic output over the years.
He collaborated with some of the funniest people on the planet
over the length of his career, some good memories here.
Gotta save those damned whales…


Beer and Friends

A real laugher from Pete Correale.
He is a smart comic, he dumbs it down slightly for effect
but he’s a lot more cerebral then he lets on.
You can tell by what he jokes about, lots of research done.
This is a great bit, it gets air time…



Hip Hop Was to Blame After All

Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer with a pretty good explanation
as to why a huge asteroid collision with Earth was not the
cause of their extinction.
The fall of the Roman empire?…not what you think!
The Black Plague wiping out half of Europe?…nope!
French soldiers shooting off the nose of the Great Sphinx?
Not a chance in Hell!
Mr. B knows what done it…
