StolenDress Sidecasts

Sandy Danto is funny, a great actor and wonderful impressionist.  It shouldn’t have surprised me that he threw a curveball my way.  It’s an album that doesn’t hold up, in terms of what’s socially acceptable, even from a comic, but as Sandy points out, it has it’s place, in terms of studying comedy.  We have a challenging conversation about being PC, lazy comedy and making a character work in terms of stand-up.

Watch Wayne Federman do stand-up and the first thing you think is not Victor Borge.  Look anywhere and Victor Borge probably won’t be your first thought.  But Wayne made a compelling case to listen to Borge’s Back! and it was worth the listen.  It’s a ton of fun – like a clean Rodney Dangerfield, without the dirty words.

He’s your own Dr. Katz.  He’s a musician.  He gave us some of our most interesting comic minds.  And he wanted to discuss two of the early kings of improv.  It was a lot of fun.

It’s time to send the little ones to dreamland… Not really, this is a pretty clean episode, especially given the album we’re covering.  The Thrilling Adventure Hour’s own narrator, Hal Lublin, joins us to discuss Robin Williams’ great live album.

Giulia Rozzi’s next album, True Love, comes out this Friday, February 12.  She’s hilarious and wanted to not only discuss Rodney Dangerfield, but an Italian kids song about having to take a pee.  It’s a fun time.

Arnie Kogen has written for so many of our greatest comedic minds and voices, but perhaps the one that screeches loudest is MAD Magazine.  Patric Verrone helped give us Futurama and returns to the show as an expert who owns every issue of MAD Magazine.  This week, we use the MAD Magazine insert record “It’s A Gas” to discuss the history of MAD itself.

André Jacquemin has not  only produced almost every Monty Python album, he’s also written some of their music.  We have a blast talking about great Monty Python moments, as well as some album packaging concepts that never quite materialized.

It kinda feels like Brock Wilbur has been on before, but he hasn’t.  This is our second time covering the soundtrack to This Is Spinal Tap, and this time we also meander into the world of other “fake” bands and his own family history with music.
