Kittens. Babies. America.

The master story teller at his peak.
Cy Amundson is as good as it gets as far as comedians go.
But he’s not a one-liner type of comic at all.
He forms a humorous story by making you visualize what
he is discussing, he’s brilliant in that he makes you the
listener do all the work.
He describes a rough yet funny outline, and you form the picture.
Cy is one of the best I have heard, he may not be a laugh a minute
but he makes you really chuckle after all is said and done.
This is a funny piece.
A couple of naughty words, wrap grandma in an old carpet and stick
her in the attic for a bit…

Saw a Bear

This is one of the funniest Jim Gaffigan sets out there.
It’s all here…self deprecation, snark, wonderment, fear.
What more can you ask for in a chubby stand-up comedian?
Not being harsh, he knows it.
So did the bear…


Bad Idea

A song of regret and foreboding by J Chris Newberg.
He’s a humorous guy, a bit dark at times, but that
can certainly be a good thing.
A much wiser being than I once said “Will someone
please turn on a @#$%^&* light!”.
I’m not sure that pertains to this performance but it
is profound and plunking it right here seems like the
right thing to do.
Funny, I like some of his “bad ideas” better than his
good ones.
Life is like that…
