I have always loved this comedy sketch by Mike Nichols and Elaine May.
It’s dark, irreverent and quite funny.
Even more so when you consider it was created sixty years ago.
The late great Mr. Nichols is no longer with us but Elaine sure is.
Only very slightly dated, inflation mostly, it’s a keeper…

Less Than You’re Worth

I am surprised and elated, Brian Regan’s newest comedy
special is hilarious.
He’s as good as he’s ever been, and that’s saying something.
Not taking anything away from him when I say I was surprised.
Usually when you’ve been around as long as he has the peak
is in your past, this is a very good show, top notch in every way.
Some great lines here…

How can you tell it’s the first day of Spring?
Because I’m playing this awesome tune by
the immortal Tom Lehrer!
Sublime, even today, more than sixty five years
after it was recorded.
Yes, the FULL orchestral version…

The premise: To make a production that was so lame
that nobody would come out to watch it, leaving a
sizable tax write-off on the table for the folks that
funded it.
The reality: The end result was wildly popular,
becoming a hit after all was said and done.
Nobody but Mel Brooks could have made this movie.
From 1968, The Producers, starring Gene Wilder and
Zero Mostel…

Gary Gulman with a humorous look at what used
to be my childhood job career aspiration.
Spring has sprung, go forth and multiply!
And just for the Hell of it divide a little bit…
