Ah! The glamorous world of internet publishing… I’m in the Bullhead City Library… or is it the Mohave County Library? Either way, they have wireless internet access for all! Bless them and bless the freeholders of Mohave County.
Just got this over the cyber transom (full disclosure: SHECKYmagazine editor Brian McKim recently designed Mr. Ajaye’s website.):
Manic Depressive Records announces it’s first release. The new double comedy and music CD by Franklyn Ajaye, “Vagabond Jazz & The Abstract Truth”.
Recorded in Melbourne, Australia, this is the first new comedy by Franklyn Ajaye since his classic album “Don’t’ Smoke Dope, Fry Your Hair”, and it is already being played on XM Satellite Radio, The All Comedy Network, Sirius Satellite, KLOS’s “Five O ‘Clock Funnies”, and Khaha.com radio to very great response.
One more thing, Ajaye-related: He’ll be on The Dennis Miller Show tomorrow (Friday) night, August 6. Check your newspaper for showtimes!
RUMOR CENTRAL
The glut of comedy clubs in Indianapolis is rumored to be easing somewhat according to rumors swirling through the comedy community. It seems that the Funny Bone has decided to fold its tent in Bob & Tom Land. This leaves a downtown club, the Broad Ripple club and Oneliners in Greenwood.
A CORRECTION
When writing about L.C.S. yesterday, we said that “we’re going to try to persuade the bartender at the Pirate’s Lounge to turn one of the plasma screens to the local Fox affiliate tomorrow night…” Why do we think that L.C.S. is a Fox product? What is wrong with us? Perhaps it reminds us of American Idol a bit too much. That’s our excuse and we’re sticking to it.
DEAL WITH IT!
From Tommy James comes the following heads up about a failed standup comic:
Actress Jennifer Aniston has ordered her lawyers to ban a tape of her early career as a stand-up comedian.
The Friends star, 35, is determined to prevent the copy of her unsuccessful comedy routine — in front of an audience of 15 people at New York’s Kit Kat club in 1990– from being made public.
Aniston says, “My lawyers are onto this.”
“It’s not that I am bothered about my duff performance but I would hate anyone to actually pay money for it.”
Her concern for the little guy and his little budget is truly touching. We only have one question: What is a “duff performance.” Read the whole thing here.
ONE MORE THING
We’re doing our best under (Laughlin) adverse conditions! We’ll continue blogging as much as we can! Stay tuned for more! Don’t forget to watch L.C.S. tonight! There will only be three left at 10PM EDT! (We’re going to try to get press credentials for the finale… If NBC can make up their minds as to when it will be… and if our schedule allows us to be present. We’ll be there if we can!)
