The late great Connie Vannett with a classic double entendre’ novelty song.
A bit naughty perhaps, but the good ones usually are.
It’s raining out, she may be wet…

I’ve been a round a long time, the ebb and flow of good comedy
is something I am familiar with.
These two guys were some of my first collections way back when.
Big Bambu, their album with the giant rolling paper, was a treasure
of mine until someone stole it from me.
I have their entire collection, and I enjoy all of it.
The problem I’m facing lately is that I’ve had to come to the conclusion
that most of it is really dated and no longer humorous.
Early on they were part of my go-to group, now the atmosphere is
quite different, they still hold historical significance so I try to play
them on the show when I can.
This is a decent piece, a bit dark perhaps but funny.
Ike and Tina…who?
Cheech and Chong with a piano teachers lament…

It’s turned out to be a Kyle weekend.
Kyle Kinane is one of the funniest stand-up comedians on the circuit.
He is not your typical comic, off the wall is his shtick, he comes at you
from a direction you didn’t anticipate, and he’s smart.
This is one of my favorite bits from him, it’s profane at times but it
deserves a listen.
Some superb lines here…

Kenny Young and the Eggplants with a look at barbers
and the people who love them.
It’s Randolph’s moment…Go Randolph Go!
Look at all that hair on the floor.
Hey, Is that an ear?!
I said, “Is that an…ah, never mind!”

Steve Martin started off his career as a stand-up comedian.
He was pretty good at it, not great but not bad at all.
As he built his reputation up he branched out and did
movies, SNL, comedy recordings, the occasional talk
show.
He became really good at physical comedy, his body
language and facial expressions were very much a
large part of his success.
Some classic scenes were created by Steve, from The
Jerk to Trains, Planes and Automobiles, and everything
in between.
This is from the book of poetry that he put together
early in his career, the title cut.
A darkly humorous piece…
