Comedy 101 Radio 6.10.21

I went block crazy this week.
When I started to think about what to do I went
with “everything”.
Bacon, that’s always good for a perusal.
Word usage, laughs galore on that topic.
Drinking’s good for a gag.
Please forgive the pun-.
Speaking of which, I played some Stewart Francis.
He is so good at puns it’s annoying.
When I think about it I played a lot of annoying cuts.
Also did a mom block, one of cruelty and yet another
about knowledge.
This should take care of any future blockage issues for
the foreseeable future.
Speaking of puns.

You’re Always Welcome at Our House

An absolutely dark as coal masterpiece from the slightly
warped mind of the late, great Shel Silverstein.
But that’s not even the best part.
Performed by The Muppets, with special guest Marisa
Berenson as the “innocent” little girl!
Splendidly done, I must say.
I’ll post the Shel version later on in the week to give
it some perspective.
I will make sure to avoid that particular domicile on
Halloween…


Cruel Frederick

The Story of Cruel Frederick!
This is a dark and somewhat disturbing story of a
child that craves attention and sorely needs the
assistance of a professional.
Quite possibly more than one.
As performed by The Tiger Lillies.
This is an interesting band, very eccentric and
excellent at putting on a show for the audience.
With that welcome British tweak to it…


Charlie

Cy Amundson is a stand-up comedian with talent to spare.
He tells a mean story, well worth your time to listen to.
This is one such piece.
Nice visuals, he can really set up a punchline as well…


Home Sweet Home

Professor Elemental with an ode to the abode.
The professor gets down to work.
As only a British eccentric with an eclectic
sense of self worth, and a propensity to rap in
Chap Hop style, can.
If nothing else the man is interesting…

Does God Exist?

This is a classic comedy sketch from one of the best.
Not the Nine O’Clock News with Rowan Atkinson
as the injured man in the audience.
Pamela Stephenson as the interviewer and Mel Smith
as the annoyed man of the cloth round it out.
Superb stuff back in the day, holds up quite well still.
God works in strange and mysterious ways…
