 The
White Devil
Pat
Dixon has earned a reputation as one of the funniest and
most promising young comedians working today. Dixon’s
material is bold, creative and filled with punch lines that
not only take audiences off guard, they keep them laughing
from the moment his show begins till it's climactic conclusion
(A trait which nine out of 10 audience members look for in
a comedian). Dixon is able to do this by moving seamlessly
through his wide range of topics with an edgy, contemporary
style, and believe us, that’s no easy feat. If you want
proof and Pat isn't conveniently performing in your town this
week, order his brand new standup comedy album, White
Devil. It's just like the real thing, only slightly different. |

 Comic
on the Rise
It hasn’t taken long for Josh
Sneed to make a name for himself as a standup comedian. In
fact, it was just a few short years ago that he gave up his ‘regular
job’ at Procter & Gamble to pursue his dream of entertaining
audiences across the country. He's appeared on numerous standup-based
comedy programs including Comedy Central's Premium
Blend and Ed McMahon’s Next
Big Star (where he finished 2nd out of 175 comedians). Though
he’s a comic on the rise, Sneed’s also dabbled in acting
and writing. He wrote and starred in the film Let
Me Be Blunt, was cast in a national commercial for the University
of Kentucky and was once hired as the head comedy writer for a
minor league baseball team.

 Where
Insanity
Meets the Sea
Live from a squeaky chair in Los Angeles, it’s
the host of Vague But True, Tim
Bedore (well thank you very much). Each week Tim shares his thoughts
on life, society, politics or his day to day operations, presented in
the form of in-depth editorials. But unlike your buddy's boring stories,
Tim delivers his monologues with comedic precision, making sure each
edition comes equipped with intellectual insights and jokes that will
make you laugh out loud. Over the past few months we’ve learned
quite a bit about Tim, including his thoughts on downloading movies,
the joy one can find in a Sky Mall magazine, his time spent at summer
camp and his theory on how animals are trying to wipe out our species.
When Tim’s not writing new installments of VBT, he can be seen
performing with the comedy tour, Four
Stand-up Dads.

 The
NFL Song - Week 14
Week 14 of the NFL season is in
the books which means it's time once again for that
fabulous bluesy musical review, Duke
Tumatoe's NFL
Song. He makes it possible
for you to know what's going on around the league
even if you don't own Sunday Ticket. This past week,
four of the top teams in the league clinched playoff
sports, decreasing the number of available bids to
seven. Only four teams have been eliminated from
the playoff race which means these last three weeks
of football are going to be heated. With Peyton on
pace for a record breaking season, the Charges pulling
off one of the greatest turnarounds of all time,
and every team except for the 49ers still in the
hunt in the NFC, there's still a lot of great football
left to b played. And hey, that's the best kind of
football. Duke couldn't
agree more, which is why he's cramming it all into
this week's song. Plus, stay tuned for the always
exciting Bass
Talk, and perhaps another one of Chick's popular
halftime jokes.

 Mr.
ABC
In case you haven't heard, our very
good friend George
Lopez stars in his very own, very successful sitcom,
strategically titled George
Lopez. He insisted on this title so that they could
never do the show without him. When he set out all
those years ago to develop his show, he wanted to make
sure it wasn't one of those run of the mill sitcoms
where all life's problems could be solved in 22 minutes
(or in some cases, a very special two-part episode).
Three years later, it looks as though his strategy
worked. Now leading off the Tuesday comedy lineup,
Lopez has become a staple on the ABC network. They've
even got him starring in made for TV movies now, one
of which, Naughty
or Nice, just aired this past weekend. Since
he's already got acting and stand up comedy under his
belt, George decided it was time to add 'author' to
his credits. You can find his new book Why
You Crying? on book shelves
everywhere.
Side Note -
George is very excited that on December 14th, he'll be in attendance
as his childhood icon, the late Freddie Prinze, is added to
the Hollywood Walk of Fame, something Lopez helped make possible.

 Bart
King's Boy Stuff
If you're a parent of a boy between the ages of nine and thirteen years
old, you know how hard it is to get them to do anything besides veg out
in front of the TV. You'd love see him find some other stuff to do, but
you've got no ideas and he's not about to look for any on his own. That's
why this boy needs The
Big Book of Boy Stuff! This big, thick, durable book includes fascinating
chapters on gross stuff, magic, emergencies, fireworks, games, experiments,
jokes, activities, insults, pets, flying things and of course, duct tape.
Sure, you could get along without it, but why would you want to? Author
Bart King is an expert on boys, having been one himself and having taught
middle school students for over 15 years. He's the author of two books
and has twice won the prized "Arrested Development" award from
the New York Society of Amateur Psychologists.
