When you see a chance, you take it. You find...an indie comedy CD from the mid-90s.
I have no idea why I started quoting Steve Winwood in a blog post about UnCabaret, the still-running alt comedy showcase based out of L.A. Maybe it's the murderer's row of comics providing tracks. "Mr. Show with Bob and David" would come out on HBO around the same time this released, and Mssrs. Cross and Odenkirk are both repreented here. I sometime forget what a killer comic Bobcat Goldthwait was, what with my being a great admirer of both his directoral efforts AND his portrayal of Officer Zed McGlunk, My teenage crush Janeane Garafolo does a bit named after my porn crush Annie Sprinkle. There's Terry Sweeney and Julia Sweeney and Taylor Negron and Andy Kindler and Dana Gould and even Andy Dick, that sonuvabitch that got Phil Hartman murdered.
Basically, if you've loved the places comedy has gone over the past 30 years, you'll probably dig this.
