Chris White is a self-described “recovering standup comic,” and he picked the perfect album to discuss – an album by a standup who quit while he was ahead.  Chris also hosts DC Improv’s The Other Side podcast on which he is currently helping the country find out who the funniest president of all time is.

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

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 20 – Woody Allen – Standup Comic

Posted on by

Before he was Alvy Singer – before he was Woody Allen, even – he was still a writer named simply Woody Allen.  He was turning his behind-the-scenes skills from writing on “Your Show of Shows” and for the stage into a persona to accompany his work.  Though its been said that he hated doing stand-up, there’s no doubt that his point of view ended up so succinct and focused as a result of this character work that the film work that followed wouldn’t be nearly what we have today.

Even if you don’t like his later films (I suggest you just start from the top, chronologically, and stop when you get bored), you should listen to the classic bits archived on this two-disc set.  It chronicles an evolution from an inexperienced standup and brilliant writer, to a man who merged the form with the content brilliantly.
