Summary:
From wild and wacky to knee-slapping, laugh-out-loud fun, these humorous tales represent some of the best of recent seasons of the hit public radio series Selected Shorts. Comedian Wyatt Cenac gives a killer performance of Simon Richs hilarious tale of woe from the point of view of a condom in a young mans wallet. Alec Baldwin gives a delightful over-the-top performance of James Thurbers wonderfully silly classic tale of the day everybody in a small Ohio town thought the dam broke. Joe Menos playful and poignant People Are Becoming Clouds, slyly performed by Criminal Minds Kirsten Vangsness, tells the story of a wife who simply laughs and turns into a puff of soft white vapor every time her husband tries to kiss her. David Rakoff reads Dave Eggers sweet, good-humored story in which a father recounts to his son, while making dinner, how his parents saved the world together. Selected Shorts founding host Isaiah Sheffer recounts two tales: New Yorker contributor Ian Fraziers wacky suggestion for young men today in Dating Your Mom, and David Schicklers raucous tale of a family catering companys crazy and delicious escapades in Wes Amerigos Giant Fear. With stories that cover all types of humor, this assorted collection of memorable stories is sure to leave listeners grinning.
