Turns out, Ritch Shydner and I are kindred spirits.  We like talking comedy, interviewing people about it, and performing it, and Ritch’s performing goes back to 1977, in DC, before there were comedy clubs.  He’s also got a great book out called Kicking Through The Ashes.

Host: Jason Klamm
Producer: Mike Worden

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.

Pasternack

Consummate comedy nerd, comedy vinyl collector and comedian in his own right (yes, he had a song played on Dr. Demento’s show when he was 11), Dan Pasternack is here to talk Carlin’s “Take Offs and Put Ons,” not to mention putting most people’s comedy stories to shame with one encounter involving both George Carlin and Stan Freberg.  Enjoy, and be sure to read his articles on McSweeney’s about his comedy vinyl collection.

Episode 21 – Lenny Bruce – I Am Not a Nut, Elect Me! – With Matt Besser

Posted on by

If you think of Lenny Bruce, you probably think of the guy who took on censorship and was a martyr for the cause of free speech.  Maybe you’ve seen the movie “Lenny” and associate him with Dustin Hoffman’s huggable heroin addict.  Your first thought might not be that Lenny Bruce was a guy who told jokes.  And that’s why we’re here.

Luckily, this week we’ve got backup, in the form of Matt Besser, master improviser and brilliant comedic actor.  Though he might not point you to this album to discover Lenny Bruce, this is the album that clearly blew his mind and was integral in his understanding of his own craft.  Listen in, listen up, and check this album out.
