Street jokes

Street jokes are verboten in most stand-up, but they're good fun in conversation. And in all the years of What's So Funny? we've only had one show where a street joke was told. Not only one, but three. This clip is from my trip to Las Vegas last summer. Brian McKim of sheckymagazine.com told a couple and I answered with the only one I can confidently tell (courtesy of the late Irwin Barker). Feel free to use them. They're public domain. And funny.

Podcast episode 241ish: Brian McKim

If you've ever read sheckymagazine.com (and if you haven't, you really should), you'll know that Brian McKim speaks his mind, in tandem with his wife and co-publisher and fellow stand-up comic Traci Skene. In this podcast episode, we hear from the male half of the staff himself about some of the controversies that have riled up readers in the past. We also learn how drugs led him to the stage and why he doesn't judge comedy genres against each other. Oh, and there are a couple good street jokes thrown in for good measure. What's not to like? Besides, we recorded our conversation at Hooter's in Las Vegas! Have a listen right here, if you like. Or if you want to wait until you're working out or painting the fence, go download it at your favourite podcast depository, such as your iTunes and the like.

July 10: Brian McKim

Tonight's show was recorded about three weeks ago at the bar in Hooter's Casino Hotel in Las Vegas. After the Dirty Joke Show upstairs, in which tonight's guest participated, I sat down for an hour with SheckyMagazine.com's Brian McKim. With beers flowing, we discussed the magazine, the perception of stand-up comics in the lamestream media, controversies such as the Tracy Morgan brouhaha and the Guy Earle ballyhoo, his appearance on NBC's Last Comic Standing with his wife and cohort Traci Skene, and told a couple of street jokes for good measure. It was a good time and I hope you'll join us. Show starts at 11 PST. You know the deal. CFRO 102.7 FM in Vancouver, or livestream it here.
