Thoughts

From Hotz.
That would be Jeremy Hotz, Canadian stand-up comedian.
This is a funny bit, shows his unique restrained manic style.
His observational awareness is exceptional, especially the
way he makes it funny…


Comedy 101 Radio 5.26.22

Started it all off with the late, great Kip Addotta.
I interviewed him back in the day, he was cordial and
willing to tell some great stories..
Landry and Biener were quite a team.
A Transition block, starts with cheese, ends with cars.
Why, I have no idea.
Jack Palance with a strange one.
Zappa with an even stranger one.
Guest and Crystal with a sketch from back when SNL
had stopped being funny, played it out of respect for
Christopher Guest.
I threw a few graduation pieces out there for the
high school seniors, I always get it wrong and play
that material at the same time as the college ones.
There’s usually a couple of weeks difference if not more.
A great contribution from a Certified Guitar Player.
One of the best lines ever used in a comedy sketch,
Peter and Dudley are very much missed.
Corky gave me a superb show ID back in the 90’s.
Been using it ever since.
Shel with a classic.
A decent contribution from Ellen, done before she
went commercial television.
We all need more money, Nick!
Onward and north of south…
