Comedy
& Gender Studies
Monique
Marvez is a standup comedienne known for her sharp
sarcasm and interesting takes on men, women, and relationships.
No gender is safe from her no-holds barred comedy, but both
sexes will enjoy it. When Marvez began performing, it wasn’t
in the clubs or venues most comedians start in. Marvez would
only play coffee houses, cabarets, and other non-traditional
stages. Since those humble beginnings, she’s become a popular
standup comic, relationship expert, created a one-woman show
(Loco Motive) and released a comedy album (Built For Comfort)
which features the best of Marvez's raunchy wit and sexualized
sense of humor.

Comedy
That Rocks
How would Dave Matthews sound if his singing were slowed down
and played on an old turntable? Or what wouldNeil Diamond be
like as an elementary school teacher? These are questions comedian/singer/
songwriter Mark
Eddie tries to answer every time he takes the stage. Eddie's
reputation as the "rock comic" comes from his uncanny
ability to impersonate a number of musical artists in humorous
situations. His comedy shows are often compared to rock concerts
because he's also the front man for the rock band Mark
Eddie & the Itch. Aside from singing, Eddie is an
accomplished guitarist... a skill he was inspired to learn after
years of using an old K-Mart broom to play along with KISS.

David
Arnold Gets Hitched
Comedian David Arnold is doing something much more frightening
than performing on stage… he’s getting married. What’s
even scarier is that he’s letting all the preparations
and buildup to his “special day” be caught on film
for TLC’s A
Wedding Story. Arnold, a Tonight
Show veteran, likes to poke fun at family life and growing
up in his standup act, but now he’ll have a lot more stories
to tell because he’s going to have a family of his own.
You can hear all about Arnold's life when he was still a single
man on his comedy album, 'Cause I Have
To Work in the Morning.

mate. We’ll she be able to find true love? Well, that all
depends on you. Check out the series premiere of Cupid

We've
Got Our Finger
on the Button
He tries to be a clean guy, just making a living pointing out
odd occurrences in family life and other everyday behaviors,
but sometimes even comedian Rob
Haney has to be censored. Take for
instance the time he was reading an advice column in which he
found a letter asking what to do if your best friend suffers
from severe feminine odor? The answer given was to write her
a poem explaining the problem. It sounded simple enough, so
Haney took a stab at penciling his own prose and it ended up
becoming one of the most requested bits from BOB&TOM's album,
Factory Air. His other album appearance, a much cleaner one,
is the world famous talking dog joke.

Bob
Zany: Such a Nice Young Man
The lovable Bob
Zany is set to deliver his eagerly anticipated Zany
Report one day later than usual this week.
Because we had to wait an extra day to get our Zany
fix, we're sure Bob will be bringing his A-material for what
is sure to be the biggest, funniest, most spectacular report
of all time (no pressure, Bob). If for some reason you aren’t
exhausted from laughing when it’s all said and done, there's
always BobZany.com where
you can test your hand at punch line writing by playing Fix
The Joke Baby. Pick up one of those "Papa Eat Now"
T-shirts while you're at it.
Side Note
– After Bob was informed about our expectations for this
week's report he quickly scrapped what he had already written,
and began working on new material.
