Comedy on Vinyl: Episode 18 - Tom Lehrer - That Was The Year That Was
Happy New Year and happy satire. Sure, that’s an expression. One of the great, energetic musical comedians, Tom Lehrer is a must-listen (again, another real expression) for those bent on listening to comedy made by intelligent people.
Until recently, Lehrer was a university professor who got…

Comedy on Vinyl: Episode 16 - George Carlin - Class Clown
We waited too long to get to this album, since its among the first albums I ever listened to, and it simply blew my mind. What’s disappointing is its the first one I simply have not been able to find locally on vinyl - despite having it in the secret Comedy on Vinyl Vaults somewhere deep in…

Comedy on Vinyl: Episode 14 - Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder - Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks may have made the name he has today with a unique brand of parody, but Young Frankenstein is arguably his masterpiece, and is no doubt the beginning of a brand of pastiche that has informed the work of every great filmmaker of the last four decades. Self-awareness without having to…

Baby Episode #2 - Several Albums to Come
To everyone who is awesome: thank you for continuing to listen. Thanks for putting up with this pseudo-sode, as I’m calling it, in the hopes it won’t catch on. There are a number of albums coming up, and we’re in the planning stages for the second live Comedy on Vinyl show.
Stay tuned for more. And have a good thing.

“A Drinking Game” in the LA Weekly
Every month I’m in an awesome show where I get to play some of my favorite characters from the greatest movies of the 80s, alongside my favorite actor friends. Not also do we get to do all this, but the audience drinks along to key words. And so do the actors on stage. The show was just covered in the LA Weekly.
The show is amazingly fun - so far I’ve gotten to play Vizzini, Count Rugen and Miracle Max in “The Princess Bride,” Principal Ed Rooney in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” El Guapo in “The Three Amigos,” Garth in “Wayne’s World,” and Marty McFly in “Back to the Future,” to name only a few - and you need to come see it. Our next show is “Scrooged,” on December 10 at Room 5 in Hollywood. You can RSVP hereand buy your tickets at adrinkinggame.com.

Comedy on Vinyl: Episode 13 - Cheech and Chong - Greatest Hit
They’re back, and this time we cover the second album that made Jason and Dan become best friends while hanging out in a broken Ford Fiesta. Yep, that’s Upstate New York for you. This is, in fact, our first quadrilateral New York episode.
The appeal of this album is clear, even to comedy…

Sincerely,
