This album is dedicated to Mr. Ruben Rubio.

In Life we often say one thing but mean another. Why? Because we’re knuckleheads. What you say on the outside is not always what you feel … On The Inside!

After 30 years of biker bars, stripper clubs and seedy roadhouses, the raunchy barroom songs of Dick Grande have emerged as beloved anthems of barflies and truckers all over the world. What’s surprising is the underground swell of bootlegged copies that have popped up in panty drawers of upper-class housewives and the demurest of debutantes. Not only have these insidious ditties infiltrated the common man but have also reached the pinnacle of political culture. After a member of Clinton’s secret service slipped him a copy, he was heard humming “Don’t Leave Her Lipstick on Your Dipstick” in the halls of Congress on several occasions.

It all started one night when he visited a comedy club in Los Angeles. A comedian tried picking on Gilbert who was seated in the front…bad move. After receiving a taste of his own medicine, the comedian backed off and Gilbert was invited on stage to tell a joke and stole the show. He was asked back the following week–silly Gil caught the comedy bug and the rest is history.

Gilbert won his first comedy competition just one year into his Continue Reading »

“If 10,000 frankfurters, 10,000 buns and 10 gallons of mustard can mean the start of a beautiful picnic then Rich Little – through his unique talents – has changed it all into a magnificent banquet by inviting more than forty of the best known personalities of our time to assist him in this slightly irreverent, but warmly affectionate, tribute to the great Frank Sinatra …

… Everyone has their own memories of Frank Sinatra. To the world at large, he was a matchless interpreter of the popular song. To film buffs, he was a fine and often sensitive actor. To the media, he was an irksome hell raiser whose escapades made him an easy target for the tabloids and the scandal sheets. But to Rich Little, who knew him for many years and performed with him on numerous occasions, he was … Well, why not let Rich tell it?” — Ken Barnes

Maggie Cassella used to be a lawyer. Then she discovered people like you more if you make them laugh instead of cry. So she quit the law business and now she performs, writes and produces comedy full time. Recorded LIVE at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto, Maggie’s irreverent take on the domestic domain guarantees that, once again, she will not be appearing on “Touched by an Angel” this season.

Because I Said So is a show of Maggie Cassella’s rants and raves on today’s news and yesterday’s headlines. No one is safe and nothing is sacred, and all of it is true. Well, maybe not all of it. But that doesn’t matter. Why? Because Maggie said so!

Beware the fruminous Bandersnatch … and here she is! Years of eating fire as the Bronze Fire Goddess have forged La Wanda’s tongue into a dazzling white-hot weapon. Like a cat-o-nine tails she lashes at the square society about her with rare humor and insight, heavily laced with sex-symbolism and womanly wiles.

La Wanda closes the gap between words and language in “Mutha Is Half A Word” and puts language through the most rigorous, bawdy, raucous jokes and gems ever to scorch the atmosphere. Words will never be the same!
