Auggie's Got Something to Say
The ranting, raving comedian from Montana, Auggie Smith is heading back to the studio and you'd better believe he's entering the studio with his guns blazing. From the first moment we met Auggie, he became one of our favorite young comedians, and his comedy pieces on drinking, Bed Bath & Beyond and leading a religious cult have become show classics. Because Aug finds his material in the absurdities of everyday people, situations and politics, he's never had a problem finding new targets on which to take aim . Be warned, if you listen to Smith's ranting long enough, you too will find yourself following "The Word of Aug." But is that really such a bad thing? Auggie has appeared on two previous B&T albums including Happy Hour, on which he talks about the time he had to drive his dad home from the bar when he was only 9 years old.

The Business of Comedy
While trying to put himself through Colgate University, a young Mark Klein figured out that the best way to earn a supplemental income was to perform standup comedy in his spare time. Little did he know this part time job would blossom into a full-fledged career. Mark knew from the beginning that he was going to have to rely on his business sense and work ethic in order to become a successful comic because that English major wasn't going to do him much good. His first executive decision came when he decided to take his fast speaking, easy to follow, pro business comedy to the folks who could most appreciate it; business people. Klein began spending the majority of his time working large cooperate functions entertaining CEO's and other white collar types, but he still finds the time to play the occasional comedy club and nationally syndicated morning show.

The Facts
(or Fiction) of Life
Emmy nominated humorist and political satirist Tom Ruprecht is a writer for The Late Show with David Letterman, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and GQ can now out biographer to resume, well, sort of. In his new book, George Bush: An Unauthorized Oral History, Ruprecht retells the life of our 43 President while taking a few liberties with the facts. Sure, the stories may not be real, the quotes may be false, and the entire work may be more fiction than fact, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a laugh out loud read. It’s the perfect book for those who prefer their writing a little left of center.
