A classic piece by Mike Nichols and Elaine May!
Ever so slightly dated but the core of the
relationship is as eternal as the grass on your lawn.
I love how he caves in, we ALL do in the end…

Craig Shoemaker with a reminder of what
Moms do and why they never killed us in our sleep!
I remember most of these being screamed at me…

Stephen Colbert was born back in 1964!
Bea Arthur was born back in 1922!
Franklyn Ajaye was born back in 1949!
All superb comics in their own right.
Mr. Colbert has my vote for one of the funniest
beings on the planet, a tremendous talent that
certainly has my respect.
Happy Birthday to all!

Logan Whitehurst with a neat song about love,
stability and the overwhelming desire to eat
all the ice cream you can shovel into your
pie hole before the wife gets home!
I made that up, everything after the word “song”.
Even the sentence above this one is a lie.
That one could have been also.
Just do it…

This is a great slice from a classic Mel Brooks flick
that has many tremendous scenes in it.
The lady in the booth is the late, great Bea Arthur
who happens to have been born on this day back in 1922.
Perfect for the role, a very funny piece…

Michael Somerville with a humorous bit on sleeping
with a loved one, no really…sleeping!
I love to play this man on the show, very funny…

An interesting show this week.
I normally would have gone with a Mother’s Day
theme but I had some requests left over from last
week and I wanted to do a tribute to the greatest
stand-up comedian who ever lived.
Mom will get the next show, seems more appropriate
given that it will be the same week as Mother’s Day.
I played two pieces by Mr. Carlin, both are very smart
and well thought out, one being lighthearted and
very funny, the other in a class of it’s own, nothing
better on this planet…NOTHING!
