Idle just can't seem to get out of the Rutle state of mind he created over
30 years ago. This is a travelogue about the Rutland Isles, mostly filled with songs but comedy bits, too. | ||||||||

| The

| Interesting.
The first side is Martin doing his club routine, and the second side is
a stadium concert. Don't like the stadium concerts for comedians., The sound is horrible, and a lot of the sight gags comedians use fall flat in arenas. That being said, the best side is the first side. Yes, the novelty tune, 'King Tut' is here, and 30 years later, its still a riot! | ||||||||

| Learning
from his last album that stadium gigs don't make it for comedians, Martin returned
to club performing. His film career was taking off by now, and he didn't really need to do this, but . . . . he did. | ||||||||

| Released
at the height of their popularity on SCTV, Rick Moranis and Dave
Thomas created a cultural phenomenon. They even reprised these personas for the Disney animated movie Brother Bear in the 2000s!. What's really cool is they got Geddy Lee of Rush to come in and record vocals for their hit single, 'Tale Off.' While this may be a little dated, it does bring back fond memories of high school (so few of those as it is) and the early 80's innocence. Love this album! | ||||||||

pop-culture referencing comic at the beginning of his career. Still a member of
the 'Saturday Night Live' cast, Miller had just started doing the Weekend Update segments and they were the best since the Chevy Chase;Dan Akroyd / Jane Curtin days. Here, he takes his act on the road . | ||||||||

| Considered
by many to be the best comedy record of all time. Newhart at his best.
Bit of a time capsule, too, despite Newhart's efforts to not be topical. | ||||||||

Wright made a career out
of one-liners. Warped, surreal one-liners, but one-liners nevertheless. This is his frist album. | ||||||||

| A
friend of mine, Craig Marks, wrote the majority of the material for Zot
Theater. This was a creation he and a few friends had while in college and was aired as a show and as little vignettes on the campus radio station, WAUP88.1 FM (still in operation but under different call letters now. WZIP I think). Anyway I'm on a few of these - can't remember which. Maybe it's the next one . . . - probably dated, but again, it brings back fond memories of college and it was a fun, cool thing to do. | ||||||||
