first date possible. For more information on this extraordinary offer,

 General
Lee
Lee
Levine began doing stand-up in San Francisco back in
the late 90s, but after five years of developing his craft
he decided to take his act to LA. Upon arriving in Hollywood,
Levine immersed himself in improv comedy and sketch writing
while at the same time perfecting his standup. It wasn’t
long aft this that Levine had the honor of being selected
to entertain US troops in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan,
Qatar, Djibouti, Kuwait and Iraq. Lucky for him that after
living in LA for a few years, he was used to performing in
hostile environments.

Having A. Ball on the Air
f you saw this 6’5”, tattooed, goateed “freak for life” meandering
around your neighborhood, you might be tempted to board up the doors
and call the cops, but Allyn
Ball is no one to be scared of. This punk rocker turned family man
has been happily married man for over 20 years (to the same woman), has
a 15 year old daughter, and is adjusting to life in the suburbs. Those
who judge this comic by his outward appearance are in for quite surprise
because Ball’s material is deceptively clever. In his own words, “Those
who pay attention will be rewarded.”
FACTOID - Ball started his comedy career when he won first prize of $500
in a radio contest in Charleston, SC He then put some material together
and began to tour.

 Is
There Anything
He Can't Do?
Good friend of the show Mark
Sweeney is a professional comedian, and a very good one at that, but
that hasn't always been his career. You could call Sweeney-San a jack of
all trades, considering he's served as a bus boy, construction worker,
real estate agent, bartender and copier repairman. In the arena of performing,
he's also been an actor, appearing on TV shows like Boston
Public, Third Rock From the Sun, and Days
of Our Lives. But looking through his resume,
the occupation that stands out most is the four years he spent in the US
Marines, or as he puts it, a full time job partying around the globe.
FACTOID -
Mark Sweeney is the oldest of six children, which he
equates to being the emcee at a comedy club. You come
out cold, have to break the ice and everyone expects
you to suck |

 I
Wonder If Tim Wilson Has An Opinion on...
No comedian causes more of a stir when they appear on the air than the
southern singer/songwriter, Tim
Wilson. Not to say we don’t find him hysterically funny, we
just do everything in our power to disassociate with him and his absurd
philosophies on society, politics and life in general (many of which
can be found in the new piece, The Aggravator).
Along with his music, Wilson is recognized for his love of NASCAR and
the state of Georgia and his distrust of almost everything else. Tim
is one of the great comedic performers touring today, and it's a rarity
when you go more than a week without hearing one of his tunes played
on the BOB&TOM Show. Tim recently released a brand new album, The
Real Twang Thang, which contains the popular
songs Church League Softball, Dick Weasel
Attorney at Law and My
Wife's Running Around.

 Kane
is Able To Dance
Watching a Kenny Kane show
is like seeing three or four people on stage at once. When he’s
behind the mic, you never know which of his multiple personalities will
be taking over. It might be the story teller, sharing tales about his
family relationships, the motivational speaker who teaches people to
add to humanities well-being instead of misery, or it might be the wacky,
high energy former black belt, hip-hop dancer, soccer playing, track
athlete. Sometimes, you’ll get more than one at a time. But no
matter who you’re watching, you’re going to walk away worn
out because not only will he keep you trying to catch your breath from
laughing so hard, his jokes may just make you think.

You've Heard Words to Remember...
Tim Bedore has been a weekly Wednesday
fixture on the show with his Vague
But True editorials, which is why we're so eager to
find out what his next installment will be about. Over
the past year, these musings have helped us learn a lot
about Tim, including his daughter's relationship with their
dog, his thoughts on creationism, a lonely trip down a
gay nude beach, and his theory on how animals are trying
to wipe out our species. But no matter the topic, we're
happy he'll be reporting on it from his new home up north,
where the introverts stare at their shoes and the extroverts
stare at your shoes. In other exciting news, Tim's new
CD, Vague But True,
is hot off the presses. Get your copy of this new CD featuring
over 30 of Tim's best VBT's to date.

 A
Name
You Won't Forget
With a name like Stankos, he’s gotta be good. Originally from Chicago, Stan
Stankos left for New York to develop his stand-up comedy. Now, with
his finely tuned act consisting of quick, clean and clever topical jokes,
Stan tours the country, performing in a new citry every week. If you
check his schedule and see he’s not due back in your town for a
few months, don’t fret. You can buy both of his live comedy albums, Stosh and Monkeyrodeo,
on his website.

 The
NFL Song - Week 6
Week five of the NFL season has
come to a close, so why not relive all the exciting
action by tuning into Duke
Tumatoe's The NFL
Song. It's like having
TiVo without the monthly fee. This week was all about
the QB's. This week alone we saw the return of the
ageless Vinny Testaverde to the Jets, Alex Smith
get his first start as a 49er, Peyton Manning make
sure his Colts remained he only undefeated team in
the league, Tom Brady lead another Patriots last
minute comeback and Josh McCown is create a QB controversy
in Arizona. With all that
action and more taking place on Sunday, Duke's got
a lot of pressure on him to fit all this week's action
into one exciting song. And don't forget about the
always entertaining variety show, Bass
Talk, and a recap of Chick's Shoe-In picks.

 The
Weasel No More
As the son of comedian Sammy Shore, the owner of the world famous comedy
club, The Comedy Store, Pauly
Shore knew he was pre-ordained for the entertainment industry. That
opportunity came in the early 90’s when Shore exploded on the scene.
With his standup comedy, MTV show, and multiple blockbuster movies roles,
Shore was everywhere. Then came the late 90’s, a time when Pauly
was dubbed “The Dethroned King of dumb-ass comedy.” But this
wasn’t the end of Mr. Shore. Instead, he fought back with the mockumentary Pauly
Shore is Dead, and reinvented himself for a return to standup
comedy. He’s also back on television with the new show Minding
The Store, airing on TBS.

Prepare to Be Blown Away
Comedian Bob
Zany may not realize it by the way we treat him when
he calls in, but he's our most eagerly anticipated guest
each week. There are few comedians working today that have
the guts it takes to come on a nationally syndicated radio
show every week and perform all new material. Then to top
it all off, he invites listeners to call in and fix the jokes
that some (meaning Tom) have deemed 'virtually laugh free.'
Sounds fun doesn't it? Catch The
Zany Report every Tuesday so you
too can play "Fix the Joke Baby" where the prize
package includes CDs, t-shirts, and a BOB&TOM VIP membership.
