Introducing Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy!

I like three things in life:

1. Comic books
2. Writing
3. Rock n' roll

Now I have comedy shows on all three.

The first was Comic Book Comics, which was a huge success but we never did another one. Mainly because Mike Drucker and I started the second, Writer's Room right after and that's still running (the next one's this Sunday but I'm out of town. Go see it anyway).

Writer's Room is a monthly show and sometimes it's one of the few spots I get. Mike's running another show with John Knefel at Creek and the Cave and I've been wanting to do something a little less dry and a lot louder. So Alex Grubard and I are starting a new show in Williamsburg:



Here's the deal. Six comics who love music perform in front of a live 'house band'. The band closes the night with a full set of their original music in a Williamsburg club/lounge setting. There's nothing wrong with any of this.

We're still finalizing the details but we do know this:

Great greatest hits record to build your show around. Always loved the look of the album and the boob-inspired name (thought I never really understood what "beaty" meant.)

I'm in NC too this weekend. In Raleigh. Go figure.

Meaty Beaty is the first Who album I ever got and still my favorite - with all the Who anthologies out there I can't understand why it's out of print.
