Episode 130 – Joseph Scrimshaw on Frank Sinatra – The Tea Break Monologue

Scrimshaw

Joseph Scrimshaw is an hilarious gentleman with a seemingly odd choice for this week’s discussion – Frank Sinatra’s “The Tea Break” monologue from the 1966 album “Sinatra At The Sands.”  Not only is this Sinatra doling out some well-honed bits, the monologue’s honesty and the atmosphere it creates were important moments for Joseph in discovering what works for him on stage.

Episode 128 – Kliph Nesteroff on Dick Davy

NesteroffKliph Nesteroff is one of the great comedy historians of today, for the same reason he picked a comedian you haven’t heard of.  Dick Davy has all the lasting strength of many of the great comedians from the late 60s you already know, which made this a really fun discussion.  Kliph’s book “The Comedians” comes out this fall, and we couldn’t be more excited to read it.
