The Wild World
of Fred Klett
Fred
Klett is not only one of the most creative (yet very
clean) comics working today, hes also an extremely calm,
serious, and scary looking person. We can't explain his frightening
appearance, but we believe his serious nature is due to his
constant pondering of animals and their place in the world.
Two of our favorite Fred Klett pieces have to do with our friends
in the animal kingdom... one dealing with Fred's feelings on
the popular method for escaping bear attacks, the other focusing
on the wonderful world of zoo living and those folks who oppose
it. But don't just take our word for it, listen for yourself
with these two free audio clips.
FACTOID
- Fred Klett is one of 10 children |

The Professor of Love
Milo
Tremley is the self-proclaimed "dean of human relations,"
and attempts to use his comedy as a tool for teaching young
couples in love. Though he does his work with good intentions,
he has a knack for coming up with new ways to ruin perfectly
normal, and otherwise happy marriages. Tremley's message of
love is taught though his laugh out loud comedy mixed with his
tongue-in-cheek music, most of which is featured on his album
Professor
Milo. His songs include such ballads as
Go Ugly Early, If Your Heart's As Big As Your Butt Is
and The Vomit Song,
making his albums one of the most sought after comedy CDs
among recent divorcees and bitter ex-lovers everywhere.

Life With Louie
If you haven’t seen Louie
Anderson before, you haven’t been looking hard enough.
Anderson has not only been a popular comedian for years, he’s
also been the star of his own Saturday morning cartoon Life
with Louie (which won two Emmys) and
was the host of the game show, Family
Feud. By sharing his unusual upbringing
in a large family from Minnesota and flashing his recognizable
gapped tooth smile, Louie charmed audiences all across America.
He’s a Tonight Show
veteran (with both Jay and Johnny), author of a series of very
successful self-help books, and hosts the late night standup
show Comic Relief.
Louie just finished his newest book, The
F Word, How to Survive Your Family,
which means he's now got time to head back out on the road and
do what he does best, tell jokes.

Bring Him Your Torch, The
Tribe Has Spoken
After a week off to air the annual "catch
up clip episode," CBS' smash hit reality show Survivor:
All-Stars is back with a new installment and will once again
be airing on its regular night. The season is approaching the
midway point which in the past has meant it was time for a tribal
merge. But this is All-Stars, and nothing can be taken for granted.
The previews have hinted at one of those pesky Survivor
surprise twists, but it looks as though we'll all just have
to wait and see what it might be. That is, unless we can get
host Jeff Probst to spill the beans and let us in on the secret.
We'll this new twist effect Boston Rob & Amber's budding
romance, or Lex's newfound role as the leader of his tribe?
No matter what it is (and as long as it doesn't hurt our good
buddy Rupert), it should be fun to watch. Survivor
All-Stars airs Thursday night on CBS.
Side Note
- If you haven't seen it yet, you should pick up a copy of Jeff
Probst's feature film Finder's
Fee, which Tom gave a big thumbs up. |

Economopoulos is
Greek For Funny
Comedian Costaki
Economopoulos' humor has been described as smart, pointed,
hip, sharp, insightful, socially relevant, and gut-laugh funny
and hes been described as a casually brilliant joke
philosopher. Just look at his business card, it's all
right there. Aside from standup comedy, Costaki is still looking
for a full time staff writing position on a sitcom... so if
anybody knows a guy, make sure to give him a call.
But until that day comes, the comedian with the biggest name
in comedy is keeping busy with other projects. But always keep
keep an eye out for Costaki during the credits of your favorite
show. It would be hard to miss. |

Goal Oriented Comedy
After receiving an honorable discharge from the army, dropping
out of college, and deciding that a "real job" wasn't
the life for him, Danny
Bevins chose standup comedy as a career. To him, this was
not just something to do to make ends meet. No, Danny was taking
the stage with a purpose. His goal was and still is to leave
each and every audience emotionally and physically exhausted
by the end of his show. He does this by using his cynical world
views and childhood tales to laugh them into submission. However,
if his comedy isn't working, he's always got a backup plan in
place. He'll make them watch Old Yeller
then run three miles. Either way, it's always mission accomplished.
FACTOID
- At one time, Danny worked as an airline flight attendant |

Auggie's Back with Six-Shooters
a Blazin'
The ranting, raving, gun fighting comedian from Montana, Auggie
Smith is finally on his way back to the studio... presumably
by horse. Since his first visit, Auggie has become the most
talked about guest of the year and his comedy pieces on drinking,
Bed Bath & Beyond, and leading a religious cult have remained
in among the most requested. Having worked in the business for
over 12-years, Smith has lovingly earned a reputation as "the
rant master" due to his enthusiastic, rapid-fire, seamless
stream of manic blasts taking on pop culture, idiotic people,
and other items that just plain irritate him. "The Word
of Aug" often slips over into the dark side of political
incorrectness but it's all good
as long as his audiences
keeps laughing. It sure worked on us . which is why his arrival
is so highly anticipated. No pressure Auggie.
FACTOID
- When Auggie Smith was invited
to perform at the Montreal Comedy Festival, the organizers were
so impressed they included him in 3 different showcases: New
Faces, Dangerzone, And the Nasty Show.

Straight From the Vile
File
"Vile File" creator
Dwight York is not just a funny comic with an unforgettable
style, he's also a fantastic joke writer and a master of misdirection.
York has an endless arsenal of clever one-liners ranging from
the innocent They say gambling is a sin, but Im
betting god will forgive me, to the slightly more blue
I brought home a woman from the bar last night but ended
up passing out on the couch. Must've grabbed the wrong drink.
FACTOID
- Dwight York was working with Kristi the night of her infamous
strip club "pole dance" in Peoria, IL. |

Putting the Z in Funny
Bob Zany is very excited that Tuesday's finally here, and that
means it's time for a brand new edition of the Zany
Report. Though the report is usually
very entertaining and extremely funny... sometimes it's not
(like last week). That's why Bob archives every edition of the
Zany Report
on BobZany.com.
Now you can play Fix-the-Joke Baby, rewrite his jokes, and show
him where his punch lines took a wrong turn. While you're there,
why not purchase the always-popular "Eat Salmon The Other
Pink Meat," or "Papa Eat Now" shirts? They're
perfect for changing oil, painting houses, and any other form
of yard work.
