Episode 152 – Brian Kiley on Bob Newhart – The Button-Down Mind

Posted on by

COV_Kiley_SD

Brian Kiley is a stand-up, writer for Conan, and author of the book The Astounding Misadventures of Rory Collins.  Somehow, we haven’t covered this album since our first three episodes, so it was definitely time for a revisit.  We sat down and talked about the changing world of stand-up, as well as Bob’s influence on Brian’s work.

Host: Jason Klamm
Producer: Mike Worden
This Week’s Guest: Brian Kiley

Episode 134 – Jim Hamilton on Woody Allen – Stand Up Comic

Posted on by

Jim Hamilton

This week, a guy I wish I’d discovered much sooner stops by to discuss a guy I wish was still as funny as he once was.  Jim Hamilton is one of the few consistent one-liner comics out there (you should listen to his album “Poems About the Ocean” ASAP, the cover of which was designed by friend of the show Dave Kloc and the entirety of which was released by other friend of the show Matt Belknap’s AST Records), and he wanted to talk about one of his earliest favorite albums that not only influenced him, but caught him by surprise.  No shock, but we talk about The Moose joke again, because it’s the best.

Episode 133 – Jackie Kashian on Lenny Bruce – American

Posted on by

Kashian

The Dork Forest‘s own Jackie Kashian stops by to talk about Lenny Bruce’s hit-and-miss American, that does happen to contain a mutual favorite sketch.  Yes, a stand-up album seemingly mashed together with oddly different-sounding performances and also a sketch.  Still, worth a listen for a couple bits.  Jackie talks first hearing this album and how Sam Kinison screaming at her got her interested in stand up.

The awesome Tess Barker of the hilarious Lady to Lady Podcast stops by this week (and by this week, I mean several months ago, due to some crappy technical issues) to talk about Katt Williams.  We have a ton of fun talking about how Katt’s comedy hits home with Tess and why she quit acting to concentrate on stand-up.

Episode 24 – The Replacements – Let it Be – With Brian Stack

Posted on by

It’s another first for Comedy on Vinyl – a non-comedy album.  Long-considered an unappreciated classic, The Replacements’ “Let it Be,” a punk album equally well-written as it is irreverent was hugely influential on this week’s guest.

He’s given you some of your favorite Late Night characters: Kilty McBagpipes, The Interrupter, Frankenstein and The Ghost of Artie Kendall, just to name a few.  Brian Stack is here to tell us how The Replacements got him through some tough times and discuss how one band can break the rules and still be funny.

Brian also suggests you give this a listen.
And that you read this.
