"The Comedy-O-Rama Hour is one of the most unique and original productions out there these days. With Joe's talent for different voices, I never know what's coming next, or what it will sound like. Another thing that makes these shows stand out is that it is quite obvious to the listener that Joe and his cast are having fun making these shows, and that makes them fun to listen to as well."

Reviewed by BarbaraKaarina Turning

Adjectives: Amusing, Engaging, Sentimental
Review Text:
Scenes from the Daws Butler Workshop, is a voice actors delight.
Perhaps because much of the cartoon characters in episodes 13 and 14 are closer to my contemporary experience, I found this radio-documentary both educational, delightful and thoroughly engaging. June Foray, Stan Freberg and Daws Butler re-living the fun, playful moments which created cartoon classics, as well as opening the experience for the listener to discover how these character voices were created. Inversely, I found the acting from the earlier episodes (circa 1940's) slightly less compelling: partially due to the flat female voice actors abilities.
This may be contributed to the era's styling, or to the lack of direction given the female voice actor. Regardless, Joe transports us into the "secret" world of the voice-over genre.

Notes to Producer:
I was just thrilled to listen to Daw's excited spirit. Very contagious. Reminds me of my colleague/ friend, John W. Galt. This was a real delight, Joe. Thank you.

The Comedy-O-Rama Hour: THE ADVENTRES OF TEAMAN

The Comedy-O-Rama Hour

Hi Gang!

Here's an e-mail I got today from MITCHELL PEARSON, the creator of THE ADVENTURES OF TEAMAN, which airs as part of THE COMEDY-O-RAMA HOUR! We did 12-half-hours before is troupe of actors disbanded.

Check it out:

Joe,
i can't tell you how much i admire your love of radio.
the idea of the voice.
the adventures of tman came from my disappointment with comedy at the time.
there was a comedy troupe in the nearest big city, philadelphia, that were up for it and it was recorded in the basement of two houses in that city.
the leader of the comedy troupe was cast as tman and the most talented performer was cast as polfroon. i let the rest of the troupe take the parts they felt appropriate.
the duchess was played by two actresses thats why there is a scene in 'gas video' where the two characters actually meet, the first actress introduces the second actress, but the gag in that scene 'wooly curtains' fell flat.
dr blom was played by three different actors, although we often struggled to fill that voice the performance was always outstanding.
i myself am in one episode with one line. it was a running gag and we didn't have enough actors to read the 5? line joke. i think that was recorded in an office building in new jersey.
the duchess was played by two actresses, but maggie mccann? really established the role
there are only 2 female characters, the duchess and edna the mad scientists assistant
although the duchess seems sexually available it is edna who has the most fun.
we recorded the first 6? episodes for you and when your show was taken off the air, due to your support we recorded 6 or 7 more.
i always recorded the scenes out of sequence because i didn't trust the actors, so every-time there was emotion.
i think i knew the troupe was breaking up so i took 2 scripts instead of the usual 1.
we did a normal run through of just scenes for the first script and then we laughed and hung out and i presented them with the 2nd script and we recordered it in about the length of it.
Fun.

M

The Comedy-O-Rama Hour: "I Love Luigi"

The Comedy-O-Rama Hour

Hi Comedy Campers!

I am VERY excited about the recording session we did yesterday! Our good friend and talented comedian, Cousin Kenny Savoy visited us up here in the Catskills... and we wrote, improvised and recorded another very funny (if I do say so myself) CAMP WATERLOGG SPECIAL.

I am thinking of calling this one "I LOVE LUIGI" since Kenny played his 110-year old Italian man so well, the audience WILL fall in love with him. Of course, Luigi also falls in love in the story... to a sweet. kind, and STRANGE Mrs. Terwilliger, who runs "Save the Chipmunks", expertly played by my wife and creative partner, Lorie Kellogg.

We record all of the Camp Waterlogg segments of our show ON LOCATION, at our little home in the mountains and the surrounding woods, which, we hope, gives our crazy antics a bit of a realistic quality.

Oh and by the way, you Jim Folly fans will be happy to know, we got him into the act yesterday, by phone, when he played Marcello, Luigi's nutty partner and best friend.

Marcello and Luigi started as very minor one-shot characters in the COMEDY-O-RAMA Valentine's Special. You can here that one on our website here:

Valentine's Special

These two charming old men stole the show, so I gave them their own special: MARCELLO AND LUIGI GOES TO CAMP WATERLOGG, which will air on XM Satellite Radio sometime in August. I will keep you informed on the dates.

There'll be lots more new COMEDY-O-RAMA this year! In the meantime, there are plenty of new shows to hear right now at our website: The Comedy-O-Rama Hour
