  Remotely Annoying

  This 1 hour, 3 actor, 3 scene comedy is meant to be enjoyed with friends around the dinner table after a good meal and plenty of libations.  
  The premise: The two main characters, Albert and Larry, are 80 year-old twins who have been picking at each other all their lives. They share an apartment, have just purchased a new TV, and are having some difficulty getting it to work. Sounds simple, but things go downhill fast from there and eventually off the cliff when the landlord arrives. The play has a lot of quick back-and-forth dialog so it reads like a comedy routine. It can be performed sitting around the table if someone is reading the stage directions. Actual age of actors is not important. 
  Minimum props required: TV remote, cell phone, two pieces of paper with Awww! and Clap! written on them, two foldout brochures of any kind to function as TV Quick Start Guide and headphone guide. The rest can be mimed. 
  If your plan is to perform it onstage, go for it. You have my blessing as long as you credit the work. Posting a review with a pic of the production would be possibly hilarious, but definitely cool. 
  ​​​​​​​Reviews: The Lansdowne Times might call Remotely Annoying the funniest thing since sliced bread, but nobody thinks sliced bread is funny and there is no Lansdowne Times. However, this play has been fully tested and approved by 8 brave souls who, shall they rest in peace, died laughing.

  That's Not Funny - How the Right...

  A 2022 Best Comedy Book, Vulture 
   
   
   
  "Why do conservatives hate comedy? Why is there no right-wing Jon Stewart?" These sorts of questions launch a million tweets, a thousand op-eds, and more than a few scholarly analyses. That's Not Funny argues that it is both an intellectual and politically strategic mistake to assume that comedy has a liberal bias. Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx take listeners—particularly self-described liberals—on a tour of contemporary conservative comedy and the "right-wing comedy complex." 
   
   
    
  In That's Not Funny, "complex" takes on an important double meaning. On the one hand, liberals have developed a social-psychological complex—it feels difficult, even dangerous, to acknowledge that their political opposition can produce comedy. At the same time, the right has been slowly building up a comedy-industrial complex, utilizing the irony-laden media strategies of liberals such as Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver to garner audiences and supporters. Right-wing comedy has been hiding in plain sight, finding its way into mainstream conservative media through figures ranging from Fox News's Greg Gutfeld to libertarian podcasters like Joe Rogan. That's Not Funny taps interviews with conservative comedians and observations of them in action to guide listeners through media history, text, and technique.

  An audiobook like no other from one of the beautiful game’s most charismatic managers 
   
  “From eccentric kit men to ghosts. From tea ladies to cats and dogs. From UFOs to moments in football that I will never forget – or in some cases live down…” 
   
  Nobody does offbeat like Ian Holloway – known to one and all in football as ‘Ollie’. 
   
  He has been dubbed as ‘inspirational’ by those who played for him, a ‘genius’ by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. 
   
  Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game – and occasional feistiness – into a reflection of football that only he could provide. 
   
  With over 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League – from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German 
   
  youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. 
   
  Add in the odd curveball of fishing, dad dancing, karaoke and his genuine love of women’s football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan.

  1961 Greenwich Village; a Fable  
  Gently comedic and poignant with a fanciful, mythical slant. 
    
            An uplifting tale from an inspirational era. 
    
  What if… a whimsical, droll Brit reflects on a magical, wondrous time in his life …? 
  What if… a mere sketch of their face could expose a person's true self, for better or for worse…? 
  What if… a mediocre artist was called out as a fraud, a folk singer's talent was enhanced and a woman couldn't offend, no matter what audacious things she said…? 
  What if… a couple in love, could transcend culture, race, and avarice…? 
    
    It happened in 1961 in Greenwich Village, NY. Or was it just a fable?
