Standup Comedy "Your Host and MC‪"‬ Scott Edwards

Here is some standup comedy recorded during a live show from 1984 starring Comic/Magician Mark Kornhauser, also sharing some comedy, John Carfi and Perry Kurtz. I am sharing small parts of each comics act to let you hear how the standup material and audience participation made it a fun night for the Thursday audience.
Mark was Nationally known and was touring with the band "Sha Na Na", John was a writer for Joan Rivers, and Perry Kurtz was the Annual Host for San Francisco's "Exotic Erotic Ball" held every New Years. 

Perry Kurtz, John Carfi, and Mark Kornhauser are recognized figures in the comedy scene, each with their unique style and approach to comedy and magic. Perry Kurtz’s playful, interactive style sets him apart, as he notably incorporates audience suggestions into his performances, showcasing his ability to spontaneously engage and entertain audiences. John Carfi, despite his admiration for fellow performers, is not afraid to make light-hearted observations and jokes about their acts, reflecting his unique blend of comedy and magic that continues to delight audiences. Meanwhile, Mark Kornhauser's successful career as a comic magician emphasizes the importance of creativity and skill in engaging and entertaining audiences, as he showcases his talent for humor and magic in a diverse range of venues. Their perspectives on comedy performers have been shaped by their extensive experience and background in the field, highlighting their understanding of the importance of audience engagement and creativity in creating memorable performances.

I found some very old recordings on cassette tape I wanted to share with my audience...
On this Bonus Show you will here a rare recording of Dana Carvey (doing a little Ross Perot impressions) from the 1992 Republican Convention. What makes this special is he mentions my name a couple times...very funny! Also, I am sharing an old radio promo for a Bobcat Goldthait club visit, and then a short set recorded live of Bobcat!
Loads of laughs and history here...enjoy!

Bobcat Goldthwait, famous for his direct and loud comedic approach, gained recognition in the mid-eighties comedy circuit, particularly at Laughs Unlimited in Citrus Heights, performing alongside fellow comedian Dana Carvey. Threading a line of self-deprecating and sarcastic humor, Goldthwait was unafraid to tackle controversial topics such as politics, but always with a comedic twist, making his performances unique and memorable. Similarly, Carvey polished his skills at the same comedy club before his iconic stint on Saturday Night Live, with his talent for impersonations shining through, evident from his representation of a local talk show at the 1992 Republican Convention. Both comedians have a profound respect for their comedy club roots, with Carvey expressing his appreciation publicly, showcasing the comedy club's significant influence on their careers.

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

On this fun interview, the talented Artist & Producer of three unique "Solo-Shows", Robert Dubac (Bob Dubac in the comedy world), shares how tackling difficult and yet common subjects, is done with his theatrical shows. Bob has found a way to take his experience as a Soap-Opera actor & standup comic to entertain large audiences around the country. His three shows: "The Male Intellect, An Oxymoron" , "The Book of Moron", and "Stand-up Jesus" are being seen at theaters everywhere. In the interview he talks about Mark Twain and George Carlin, and like himself;  how each followed a similar path in their growth as entertainers...fascinating.

On this Bonus Show I am sharing some old audio that means a lot to me and is entertaining. For you comedy enthusiast, a short set by Jerry Seinfeld recorded back in the 80's that I know you will enjoy. But around he comedy set are a couple commercials and a "Salute to the Big Galute" by the famous radio team of "Charlie & Harrigan" out of Texas. I also shared and old radio commercial for a Jay Leno concert I produced, and a badly pronounced radio promo for a Bob Saget & Dave Coulier special show...so lot's of Mixed Media...Enjoy!

"Be a Standup Comic...or just look like one"

Another solid interview; but this time on the fringe of Comedy as I interview Musician/Producer/Author Dick Bright. From his stories about music of Ella Fitzgerald, BB King, Joel Grey, & Huey Lewis to his comedy connection with Jack Gallagher, Bruce Baum, and Robin Williams; Dick has worked with the best! He also started the "Bammies" in the Bay Area, and acted in the movie "Mrs Doubtfire". His new Book "Work'n For A Livin" is out and a solid guide for musicians of all ages.

Dick Bright, a world-class violinist and music producer, has a music career deeply entrenched in his family background, as he learned his craft from his father, a music teacher. Dick's perception of his career in music is one filled with enjoyment, meaningful relationships, and life-changing experiences such as introducing Huey Lewis to Ella Fitzgerald. He maintains that working in the music industry should be not just profitable but also pleasurable and fulfilling. His background and experiences, including co-leading a rock band and co-creating a music award show, have led him to value the importance of a supportive and positive environment in the music industry. Through his book, "Working for a Living: How to Make It in the Music Business," he passes on these beliefs to aspiring musicians, emphasizing the significance of fun and decent earnings in pursuing a music career.
