Episode 33 – Live! With David Anthony Higgins and James Urbaniak on The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief

Posted on by

I will remember Memorial Day 2012 as a night of nerddom.  Look at that picture.  Even Jeremy is wearing thick-rimmed glasses in spirit.  This week, we talk with two of my favorite character actors of all time, David Anthony Higgins and James Urbaniak.  Jeremy is one of those, too, but he’s too much of a regular to really emphasize.  That’s a lie – I was so busy being amazed, Jeremy does most of the talking.

This is just an amazing, insane album from the gents at Monty Python with a HIDDEN SIDE to it.  It will go down in history simply for having two tracks side-by-side, so designed that the listener was likely to hear something different each time, causing innumerable aneurysms.  It gives us the best version of the Cheese Shop sketch, and it also was originally packaged as the free gift with an actual matching tie and handkerchief.  You don’t get albums-as-art anymore, so it’s a treasure.

Episode 29 – Dave Holmes on National Lampoon’s “That’s Not Funny, That’s Sick”

Posted on by

National Lampoon was, in its heyday, on the forefront of sketch comedy.  This album proves it, and for many it was the first time hearing some of these up-and-coming comedians who are now household names – Bill Murray, Christopher Guest, Richard Belzer, Laraine Newman – and the list goes on.

And the man who brings the album to our collective attention this week is one Mr. Dave Holmes.  Host of “A Drink With Dave,” and “How Many People Does it Take” on H2, to name just two of his many projects, Dave tells us how this shaped his idea of comedy, and we’re all the better for it in the end.  Take a listen.
