Radio Theater Pilot

"Howard here with more Avenue Theater news"

After doing the Carol Channing bit last night at Oddville, I found out that the theater wants me to rant. By the way, can I say that Carol killed last night? It’s one thing to perform that commercial skit in front of a group that is mostly friends, but to have made an audience of about 40 strangers scream with laughter made me feel so good. Last night was a strong reminder of why I love to make people laugh.

And now tonight, Bob & Dave are creating a pilot radio show that KGNU is going to air Friday afternoon. It’s going to be an old-fashioned variety comedy show focusing mostly on current events with skits, songs, news reports and rants. I’m going to rant. For 90 seconds, I get to stand (I hope literally) on a soap box and go off about something, so I’ve decided to use my Gay Marriage Is Good For The Economy post. I just have to edited it down to 90 seconds. I knew this blog was good for something.

If you are in the Denver area, you are cordially invited to attend the free taping (it starts at 10pm) because they want an audience there to respond just like a real live studio audience because, uh, you will be a live studio audience — only taped for playback later. Go to their website for all the details.

And if you’re waffling about going, let me say two words to change your mind: FREE COFFEE!
Oh, right. Addmission is free, too.

    It’s going to be GREAT! And I’ll get to sit next to you for the second night in a row. Which would be weird, except that I have this strange penchant for women. Plus you’re really out of my league.

    Ahh… aren’t you sweet? Tee-hee. I want to send my rant to you before we go to the show and have you look over it. Cool?

    Rant away, baby. Rant away.
