The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 72 – Derrick Beckles Derrick Beckles dropped by to talk Canada, humor, Canadian humor, Rusty Warren and his comedy influences in general.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 71 – Brian Hall on The Simpsons Sing The Blues Brian Hall is a co-host of The MovieFilm Podcast and he’s the first to request The Simpsons, in any form. While “The Simpsons Sing the Blues” isn’t exactly what you’d call their “A Material,” it’s a great snapshot of how this small nothing of a show became popular seemingly overnight, so much so that it had to be capitalized upon with a dance craze and a song co-written by none other than Michael Jackson.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 70 – David Melville on Gerard Hoffnung – Hoffnung at the Oxford UnionDavid Melville is the co-founder of LA’s Independent Shakespeare Company. I interviewed him just before an hilarious performance of As You Like It at this summer’s Griffith Park Festival. It was a ton of fun, even if the audience got a bit rowdy toward the end. Also, listen to the end of the episode for a clip of David as Touchstone.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 68 – Matt Buchholtz on Bill Cosby – RevengeMatt Buchholtz was the first person I interviewed for my documentary Lords of Soaptown in 2008. He’s also hilarious, does a ton of great sketch comedy, and is part of the Crit Juice podcast, which you don’t need to be a D&D person to enjoy thoroughly. It’s great. He wanted to talk some more about a Bill Cosby album we haven’t touched on yet. Smart move.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 67 – Ben Acker on Bruce McCulloch – Shame-Based Man Ben Acker is partially responsible for one of the best live shows in LA, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, as well as the podcast of the same name/partial content. He was kind enough to sit down with me TWO MONTHS AGO to talk about Bruce McCulloch of Kids in the Hall and his album “Shame-Based Man,” an art-house comedy piece by a mainstream, yet brilliant, comedy writer.

This time, we delve into her influences as we discuss her album, “Please Love Me.” I won’t stop raving about it, so don’t stop me.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 61 – Sara Pocock on Paul F. Tompkins – Freak WharfThis week I talk with the insanely talented Sara Pocock! You need to look at her art – she draws a lot of comedians and illustrates some great characters from podcasts (Fourvel from Comedy Bang Bang! being a personal favorite). We talk about Paul F. Tompkins, the fact that she’s WAY more a live comedy nerd than I am, and what it’s like to work with the comedians you admire.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 56 – Dan Bakkedahl on Rodney Dangerfield – Rappin Rodney This week I finally get to talk to one of my favorite character actors, Dan Bakkedahl, about one of his favorite albums – Rodney Dangerfield’s “Rappin’ Rodney.” I’d never heard it before, and was surprised at how well a strong set-up/punch routine still works. Sure, it’s dated, but it still works. Do yourself a favor and pull yourself out of the mindset that what you love now is the best. At one point, this was. And it was still old-timey then.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 55 – Andrew Bergman on Blazing SaddlesMy favorite film of all time is Blazing saddles. In fact, there used to be a subway/bus poster for the film hanging where I now hang my LPs. There’s plenty around Fort Awesome Studios to indicate my love for this film and anyone who had anything to do with it. So, only a few months after getting to play Hedley Lamarr onstage, I was honored to speak with Andrew Bergman by phone from New York about my favorite film, which started from a kernel of an idea, turned into a novella that I desperately want to read, and b...2013-03-2829 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 54 – Dan Schlissel on Myron Cohen – Everybody Gotta Be SomeplaceI got the chance this episode to speak with Dan Schlissel who founded Stand Up! Records and was kind enough to give me a glimpse into the world of Myron Cohen. Once upon a time there were ethnic comedians – comics who made hay from their specific ethnic backgrounds with all the love of a great storyteller and joke teller. This is a wonderful snapshot of a bygone era and a great glimpse into the world of collecting comedy on vinyl. Host: Jason Klamm Producer: Mike Worden This Week’s Guest: Dan Schlissel Stand Up!

Our two-year anniversary (yay) our 50th episode (at least half a milestone) and our first time covering a previously discussed album (finally). If this podcast has taught me anything, it’s that perspective is everything. All I ask is that you the comedy of Mr. Kevin Allison with that of this week’s guest, Mr. Graham Elwood, to see how the same album can have a profound effect on two different brands of humor.

Adam Lisagor is not only the co-host of You Look Nice Today, but he’s also a tech video visionary of sorts, and I’m voting him Best New Deadpan of Today. Because I have that power. Adam wanted to talk about an ALL-COMEDY radio station called KMDY – the station that simultaneously lulled him to sleep and planted a comedic sensibility subliminally into his brain.

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 18 – Tom Lehrer – That Was The Year That WasHappy 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 out of the satire business for a number of reasons. He has been quoted as saying “Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Prize.” That about sums it up. Give it a listen. Also, given Tumblr’s inherent limits (if we post more than 20… anythings, it s...2012-01-0759 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 13 – Cheech and Chong – Greatest HitThey’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 nerds who have never touched marijuana in their lives. The characters are great, due in large part to Cheech’s voice characterizations, and the situations are not, in any way, difficult to understand. Add the fact that Cheech & Chong were smart and considerat...2011-11-1000 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 11 – Ernie Kovacs: The Ernie Kovacs Album – with Adam X. StormFor the first time, I’m going to recommend you actually watch something before listening to this week’s album (links are below). Why? Well, because Ernie Kovacs is the godfather of experimental TV. Which is why, as a comedy writer, I was blown away that my introduction to him was from non-comedian (but hilarious person) Adam X. Storm. Adam’s connection to Ernie Kovacs is a personal one, as well as one of the art appreciator. This week we talk about the clear impact that Ernie Kovacs has had on the world of comedy since the 50s – from M...2011-09-2600 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 10 – Live Phil Hartman Tribute with Vicki Lewis, Mike Preister & Jeremy GuskinHe was Troy McClure. He was Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. He was Bill McNeil. Most importantly, he was a brilliant comedic actor, and loved by everyone he worked with. He also inspired some of us to do what it is we do. That was reason enough to make our first live episode a tribute to him. This week we were honored to be joined by Vicki Lewis, whose love for Phil Hartman made this one big, amazing Phil-Hartman-lovefest. Vicki let us in on who Phil Hartman was – and what he still means – to her as a person and a creative...2011-09-1800 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 9 – Steve Martin: Let’s Get Small(Originally posted 9/7:)Every once in a great while, you come across a comedy album that changes comedy. Maybe it doesn’t change the nature of comedy, but it changes your understanding of what comedy can be. Rarely can a stand-up do that on his own. But then, it’s arguable that Steve Martin wasn’t just a stand-up, and that “Let’s Get Small” might not be a comedy album at all. Which is fine. Because it is ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS YOU WILL EVER HEAR. Period. For the uninitiated, you might look at the album art and turn...2011-09-0900 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 8 – Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (w/Mike Preister and Jeremy Guskin) It didn’t take long for Richard Pryor’s work to crop back up on Comedy on Vinyl, which is mostly due to popular demand. Not only is “…Is it Something I Said?” still our most-downloaded episode, but two of my favorite comedic minds specifically said they needed to talk to me about this one. And I do mean to me, folks, as Live on the Sunset Strip is, sadly, fairly new to me. But not to my detriment – there are some amazing moments on this album, and it clearly had an impact on this week’s guests – Mike Preiste...2011-08-3000 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 7 – Cheech and Chong: Big Bambu (with guest Bob Wiltfong) If it wasn’t for this album, the 70s arguably wouldn’t have been the 70s. Before “pot culture” and “pot humor,” there were two brilliant sketch comedians who also talked a lot about pot. Those guys were Cheech and Chong. I wouldn’t be who I am if it wasn’t for Cheech and Chong – my first attempts at audio comedy, at 13 – if a bit rough – were just Dan Gomiller and I doing our version of Cheech and Chong, sans the drug humor we couldn’t relate to. Luckily, we aren’t the only squares upon whom the indelib...2011-08-1324 min

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 6 – The Firesign Theatre: Dont Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers (with guest Jeremy Guskin)Not stand-up. Not sketch. Just pure comedy. The Firesign Theatre are, luckily, indescribable. You owe it to yourself to find any of their comedy. They have released 22 albums since the 70s and this is, frankly, their third. This particular episode forgoes the convention of being clip-heavy, or even clip-light (there’s just the one, really) as we had a lot to talk about with this week’s guest, the incomparable Jeremy Guskin. You’ve seen him all over your television screens, possibly asked him to leave, and then realized he was so real you thought he was in the room...2011-08-021h 07

The Comedy On Vinyl PodcastEpisode 5 – Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Fellow Right!This week we skip back to last week’s comedian’s (Richard Pryor) biggest influence. Bill Cosby influenced two generations in two entirely different ways. He broke ground with his stand up comedy, became the first black man to star in a TV drama, and then headed up what was arguably the most successful (financially and culturally) sitcom of the 80s. This is Bill Cosby’s first album, and he’s in fine form. Some bits would become classics and, while others are a bit dated, Bill’s conversational style was born here. The classics that followed were...2011-07-2800 min

In this episode, we’re joined by the hilarious and talented Mike Preister. You’ve seen his work on TV for over a decade, and now he’s been kind enough to talk with us about his earliest, biggest comedy influence. Namely: Richard Pryor’s fourth album, “…Is It Something I Said?” Raw, character-driven and “profane” (if you believe in such a thing – and for that matter, ignore the stupid parental advisory sticker on this CD cover, the only public image I could use), this album illustrates everything that made Richard Pryor...2011-07-1900 min

This album helped the duo achieve the kind of notoriety that informs the success of every folk comedy… duo… since.

Small-time, talented no-name gets a break because he liked to entertain at friends’ parties. The tapes got passed around, and Bob Newhart flew into our living rooms, sort of like a confused...2011-03-0552 min

Some of these albums were never even made available on cassette, giving us an even better reason to let you know/remind you they exist. This week, (your host) Jason Klamm and (your guest) Dan Gomiller discuss Weird Al Yankovic’s sophomore album “In 3-D,” discussing Al’s career and his affect on/being a partial catalyst of their friendship. In this episode, we also discuss the lack of architecture references in Weird Al’...2011-02-061h 00
