Tommy Ryman with a tale of canine plurality.
Always a funny set with Mr. Ryman, he’s really
honed his act and improved to where he’s one
of the best on the circuit.
And you have to love somebody who makes you
laugh AND treats his dogs like royalty.
Some great lines here…

A great little ditty from Red Peters!
Upbeat, laden with double entendres, and lyrics
that will leave you humming it for weeks.
Perhaps longer, depends on how sick and twisted
you really are.
And something about a dictation machine…

An absolute classic by Rowan Atkinson and Angus Deayton.
Rowan plays the headmaster, and Angus the student’s father.
The wordplay is outstanding, typical of great British comedy.
I love to play this piece on the show, one of the best examples
of sketch comedy that exists on the planet.
He’s been putting you on…

This is a nice slice of Daniel Tosh early on in his career.
Twenty years ago he performed at the Montreal Comedy
Festival as a relative newcomer, I was there that year but
did not see this performance, this was at a Gala and I was
doing the Bubbling With Laughter series at the smaller clubs.
He was pretty good back then, he has since become one of the
best stand-up comedians on the circuit.
He’s as funny as they come, great timing, superb material, and
his stage presence is second to none, one of the best ever.
Also one of the most irreverent.
And that is the key to his success.
But he does parody so flawlessly that it is mistaken for all sorts
of negative things and it’s created a lot of bad press for him.
The folks who “get it” understand what he’s really about and
embrace his approach to comedy wholeheartedly.
Later in the week I’ll post some of his newer material, a bit more
profane and a lot more irreverent, to show you how far he’s come.
Until then, it’s Cargo Pants time…

Corky & the Juice Pigs with a fun little tune about
hungry men, gophers, and Bowling.
Not necessarily in that order.
I interviewed these guys at the Montreal Comedy
Festival back in the day and found them to be as
funny and interesting as their recordings.
They met and formed while in college, performing
anywhere they could, accruing a fan base of
dedicated followers.
They found some fame here in the states, mostly on
MadTV, but didn’t really hit it big.
I consider a lot of their material to be classic and
very much worthy of air-play.
Put some ice cream on that, he’s a hungry man…
