We need your questions – Rusty Warren on Comedy on Vinyl!

Posted on by

Hey all!  We have an interview scheduled with the queen of party album comedy, Miss Rusty Warren, later this month.  We were hoping to get some audience questions for her about her legendary career.  Word is there are a number of things in the works for her even now, after a few years of retirement, so she’s still up for some fastball questions.

E-mail me at jason@comedyonvinyl.com with your questions.

Thanks!
Jason

Episode 71 – Brian Hall on The Simpsons Sing The Blues

Posted on by

Brian Hall

Brian Hall is a co-host of The MovieFilm Podcast and he’s the first to request The Simpsons, in any form.  While “The Simpsons Sing the Blues” isn’t exactly what you’d call their “A Material,” it’s a great snapshot of how this small nothing of a show became popular seemingly overnight, so much so that it had to be capitalized upon with a dance craze and a song co-written by none other than Michael Jackson.

Episode 70 – David Melville on Gerard Hoffnung – Hoffnung at the Oxford Union

Posted on by

MelvilleDavid Melville is the co-founder of LA’s Independent Shakespeare Company.  I interviewed him just before an hilarious performance of As You Like It at this summer’s Griffith Park Festival.  It was a ton of fun, even if the audience got a bit rowdy toward the end.  Also, listen to the end of the episode for a clip of David as Touchstone.

Episode 69 – Jeff Abraham Opens Up the Abraham Comedy Archive

Posted on by

Jeff AbrahamYou might not know his name, but if you’re a comedy record collector, he’s a name to remember.  A man after my own heart, with a love of Hollywood history as rich as his love of rare and interesting Comedy, Jeff Abraham takes me into his comedy record vault and we listen to some doozies.  All local comedians who you’ve likely never heard of, I can only apologize for their lack of polish.  With one special exception at the end, which is neither exclusively local nor unheard of.

Episode 68 – Matt Buchholtz on Bill Cosby – Revenge

Posted on by

BuchholtzMatt Buchholtz was the first person I interviewed for my documentary Lords of Soaptown in 2008.  He’s also hilarious, does a ton of great sketch comedy, and is part of the Crit Juice podcast, which you don’t need to be a D&D person to enjoy thoroughly.  It’s great.  He wanted to talk some more about a Bill Cosby album we haven’t touched on yet.  Smart move.

Ben Acker is partially responsible for one of the best live shows in LA, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, as well as the podcast of the same name/partial content.  He was kind enough to sit down with me TWO MONTHS AGO to talk about Bruce McCulloch of Kids in the Hall and his album “Shame-Based Man,” an art-house comedy piece by a mainstream, yet brilliant, comedy writer.
