Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 152 – Brian Kiley on Bob Newhart – The Button-Down Mind
Brian Kiley is a stand-up, writer for Conan, and author of the book The Astounding Misadventures of Rory Collins. Somehow, we haven’t covered this album since our first three episodes, so it was definitely time for a revisit. We sat down and talked about the changing world of stand-up, as we View Original Post and Listen…

Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour Podcast Episode 55 – The Golden Hour
Dan and Jay talk about the one completed actual sketch that would have ended up on their planned 2002 album, “Jenny is a Slute.” The sketch is called “Tea,” and is about a husband and wife, both played by Jay. They also talk about the presents Dan got Jay for his birthday, and a…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 150 – David Melville on George Formby
The Independent Shakespeare Company’s own David Melville returns, to again open up our comedy minds to the works of George Formby. Still a respected name in English comedy, his work never quite traversed the ocean sufficiently, so it’s time for some mind expansion.

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 149 – Craig Rowin on Weird Al – Off The Deep End
Craig Rowin of Your Pretty Face is Going To Hell drops by (and so do I, this was “on location” in Hollywood) to talk about Weird Al’s perfectly-timed “Off The Deep End.” Now, before you write me an e-mail about this being a CD-era album, I’d advise you to go to the Netherlands. Where they released…

Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour Podcast Episode 53 – Dan’s Berfday
This episode was recorded on Dan’s actual birthday so that Jay and Ari could tell Dan what his big birthday present is. Jay also decides to blow the lid on a present he refuses to let Dan open. The video we discuss is Dan’s 20th birthday cartoon, part of an entire tape Jay made for…

Comedy on Vinyl Podcast Episode 148 – Rob Newhart
It’s not often you get to talk to someone about playing their own father in a movie. In 1992, that’s exactly what Rob did, for a cameo in “Heart and Souls.” We discuss how that came about this week, as big fans of his dad, but we also discuss his own introduction to…

Dan and Jay’s Comedy Hour Podcast Episode 52 – Geddy Claus
This week, Dan and Jay talk about being possibly the only two humans to ever actually take advantage of the “mosaic” setting on their VHS camera for any creative means, as well as rock operas and Geddy Lee’s place as Canada’s Santa Claus.
