<p>Prepare for some musical comedy salvation this episode with the Rev. Billy C. Wirtz who has blended rollicking piano with sharp comedy for four decades. His lyrics run the gamut from laments about aging to praise for pro wrestling to revival tent exhortations about the afterlife (Will There Be A Shopping Mall in Heaven?). He's a one of a kind act and we're glad to say that after a few years off to deal with health issues, the Rev is back and on the road taking his "First Church of Polyester Worship and Horizontal Throbbing Teenage Desire" to the masses. Say Amen -- and look for extra cuts in the comments at <a href='https://fb.watch/eOhiK2Vpis/'>laughtracksradio.com</a>!</p>

Rev. Billy C. Wirtz

Randy Hodgins and Steve McLellan’s lifelong love of comedy was kindled when they met more than 40 years ago in graduate school in Seattle.  While managing family and professional work responsibilities, they hosted a one hour comedy radio program on Saturday mornings for 10 years on a small radio station in Olympia, WA and also co-authored two books on northwest popular culture – Seattle on Film (1995) and Wet and Wired (2000).  Stuck at home during the early days of the pandemic with hundreds of comedy albums, cassettes and CD’s gathering dust on their shelves, they launched Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy in May 2020, a weekly mini-program featuring a different comedy icon, with biographical bits and a nice slice of the comedy that made them famous. From standup stars, to stellar sketch teams, to novelty music maestros -- they are all part of our Legends.
