Who is Bury Bob? Why should I care?

Hi I'm Joe 60's; speed freak, Best Poser award winner at the 'Whiskey a go go', Manchester 1967, John Cooper Clark devotee and life style copier and uncle to comedy upstart Bury Bob.

I've been watching comedy on and off...you know not all the time....for 39 years ...I was gonna say forty but that's not til June. Along the way there's been alot of crap, but just now and again you see someone who you think..''They're even bigger crap than the other lot.....''

Well our Bob fits very nicely into the second catagory in my opinion and his choice of material for this blog was only agreed to after a living room brawl.

We'll be keeping you informed of any new talent we come across and hopefully between here and other blogs get some less famous names up in front of you that we think deserve to be noticed.

Don't be shy about sending us links to sites you think deserve lookin at.


Leave a comment if you like...we won't read em like but the thought's there.

Marrtin Mull and Firesign Theatre an era in comedy.

Martin Mull

If you only know Martin Mull as the gay cafe owner on Rossanne or from the few films he's made then it might be worth looking at how he started out.....
This is a nice clip from Saturday Night Live where he talks about his links to the blues ..very funny and some lvely blues ulelele.
I used to own his first album on warner bros and it depicts a whole era for me.
Another Bunch from thia time was fiesign theatre...a radio based group who did some amazing things with sound and words ....it was an interesting time for comedy.....
Let me know what you think
