Is
Mr. Girbigabo There?
Mike
Birbiglia is one of the funniest, and most talented
young comedians performing today. We predict that
before long, everyone is going to know this guys
name, though people still may not be able to pronounce
it. Mike has become a very successful headline comedian,
but Birbiglia still isn't satisfied. He's currently
working on becoming an author, a filmmaker and fulfilling
his life-long dream of opening his very own pizza
place. Mike's been featured on The
Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy
Central's Premium Blend and
the USO Comedy Tour.

Joe
Morrison
With a knack for performing character impressions and a sense of humor
that’s intellectually challenging and dimwitted at the same time,
it’s no wonder comedian Joe Morrison was voted “Funniest
College Student in America.” He’s not sure who named him
that, but when you receive such a compliment it’s always best not
to ask questions. Morrison’s been in the comedy business for close
to 15 years, but this native Texan actually began his adulthood studying
marketing. When he discovered that making people laugh was a lot easier
and more fun than making a sale, he made the wise career move. Since
that time, Morrison has been featured performing his standup on Comedy
Central and in comedy clubs nation wide.
FACTOID – Joe
Morrison is the father of twins

Todd
Yohn, Todd Yohn
Standing 64, with light blue
eyes and bright red hair (well, he used to have red hair),
comedian Todd
Yohn is a living cartoon character. While this look allows
him the luxury of being able to crack up any audience with
just a look, it's his off-the-wall antics as a comedian/singer/songwriter
that's been leaving people in stitches for years. Yohn is
a long time friend of the show and ranks among BOB&TOM's
all-time favorite guests. During his many stops by the studio,
Todd's provided us with some of the catchiest and most memorable
songs in our audio archives including Red
on the Head, Feminine Hygiene, Orange Barrels and Daddy,
Please Dont Go. And we're
not kidding when we say memorable, just try getting Orange
Barrels out of your head. Need
proof? Just click below, or check out more of his tunes on
the Todd
Yohn Audio Page.

Man
vs. Beast
Now that Tim Bedore's
popular editorial, Vague But True,
has become a regular feature on the BOB&TOM show, it's hard to believe
that one man could find the time to write so many clever pieces. We’re
convinced Tim does nothing but sit at his keyboard and write all day
because even after calling in last week with a hilarious edition of VBT,
he’s already set to deliver another one. Last week, Tim revisited
his crusade against the animal kingdom with a second installment of of
his now famous Animal Conspiracy series, which was prompted by his epic
struggle against a rat in his dining room. Tim
did eventually win the battle, but he'll be the first to tell you that
the war is far from over. When Bedore’s not busy writing or taking
on Mother Nature, he can be found performing his standup comedy as part
of the Four
Stand-up Dads comedy tour.

You
Mean You Don't Already Own a Copy?
In case you haven't heard, comedian Pat
Godwin's new CD, Under
the Bed, is out and can be ordered directly from the BOB&TOM
webstore. Now you may be asking yourself, "why would I want
to order Pat's album?" Perhaps the best reason to own Under
the Bed is that it features the genre-bending hit single, Gangsta
Folk, as well as the catchy little tune about old folks getting
it on, First Date. But lets say you're
one of those people who downloads all their music over the internet.
You should still buy the album because every purchase helps poor Pat
get one step closer to being able to afford that shower curtain he so
desperately needs for his new apartment, and if he sells enough, he could
possibly give Tom's son his bed back. Now don't you feel guilty for not
already owning one? Godwin is on his way back to the Friggemall complex,
and if his past appearances are any indication, we expect to hear a few
new instant classics, and stories about stalkers.

Here's
a Guy Who Does Impressions
Frank Caliendo is
one of the most impressive impressionist working today.
What separates him from a lot of the other guys doing
wacky voices is that the range of characters he can
imitate is so vast. Few if any comedians can match
Caliendo's versatility when it comes to performing
as John Madden, Ted Knight, Adam Sandler, Robin Williams,
Al Pacino, Jim Rome and many more. He can pull these
voices out in an instant and will often have more than
one character involved in the same conversations. He
seamlessly flows from one personality to he next, and
all of his impressions are dead on accurate. If you
were to just flip on the radio, you'd swear the studio
was full of celebrities, but in fact, it's just Frank
Caliendo, and his split personalities. Caliendo can
be seen showing off his talents each week on the sketch
comedy show MAD TV,
and he's gearing up for another season of prognosticating
gridiron games on the FOX
NFL Pregame Show.

The
Definition of Comedy
After a seven day rest, comedian Bob
Zany is poised to return to do what it is he
does best, The Zany Report.
Though he's often denied the laughs his jokes truly
deserve, Bob hasn't given up his personal mission
to deliver a Report that
requires zero fixing. Hey, it could happen.
In all fairness, last week's Report was actually
very good, but just in case Zany doesn't have a repeat
performance in him, there will be new installments
of "Fix-the-Joke, Baby" and the "Bing
Crosby Joke of the Week" to save the segment,
because everything seems funnier when there are prizes
involved.
