King Missile with a tune about gluttony, temptation,
and diabetes.
Not necessarily in that order.
By my count that one afternoon was slightly more
than a million calories.
I’m not sitting next to him at the movie theater…

Kathleen Madigan at her best.
I can really appreciate her material when it
comes to her family, reveals the eccentricities
inherent within.
Makes me feel better about my own.
Family that is…

A Labor Day show of sorts.
Thinking of the blue collar worker first and foremost
but not exclusively, we all toil in one way or another.
Oscar Brand gets the nod to start things off.
He was an absolute godsend for many folk singers
and entertainers that needed some exposure, being
the host of the longest running radio program in history
he gave a platform to many an artist.
I’ve been on the air for almost thirty years, he went for
more than SEVENTY!
A civil rights champion and defender of the less than
fortunate, Oscar has my respect.
Brian Regan with a very funny set on past jobs.
Dave Dingwall gets some play for his blue collar classic.
Chuck Lucky made some poor work place choices.
John Cleese nearly got in at Hendon.
I quote that sketch almost every day of my life.
Some superb lines in that one.
The Royal Canadian Air Farce with a frigid classic.
Tommy Ryman spins a great tale of grocery shopping.
Ahmed Ahmed with a funny set.
Subplot A knows how to write an excellent novelty song.
His performance is even better.
Jonathan Coulton makes a sad.
The Asylum Street Spankers with a tale of awesome.
Daniel Tosh has it figured out.
Onward and upward…

I do so love this bouncy little ditty from Subplot A.
It’s a very intelligent take on getting ahead in Hollywood.
By shmoozing, name dropping, and forging ahead.
Very well done, musicianship and lyrics are top notch…

This is hilarious.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse.
It somehow does.
And why didn’t the doctor see it the first time?
As I stated…hilarious!

How Awkward You Can Be!
Tommy Ryman with a great set on being geeky.
Tommy’s a very funny stand-up comedian.
Self deprecating, a bit dorky, very smart.
Listen and learn…
