GUILTY PLEASURES

 

Other Comedians
	"Wild" Bill Bauer - Hilariously shocking, and shockingly hilarious.  His "Russian Roulette" piece is one of the best-written pieces of comedy I've ever heard.
	Dwight York  - is like Steven Wright gone to the Dark Side.  Dwight is one of the best joke writers ever!  His book, "The Vile File" contains some of the sickest jokes you'll ever read.
	The Disgruntled Clown - There is absolutely no way to describe his show.  You have to see him perform.  I've never seen someone work a crowd into a frenzy the way the Clown does.
	Mitch Hedberg - has been called "Letterman's Favorite Comic".  One of the most unique and hilarious comedians ever.  Mitch passed away, but his brilliance lives on.  Buy his CDs or DVDs.  You won't regret it.
Favorite Comedy Clubs
Joke Joint Comedy Club, Bloomington, MN - Owners Ken & Becky Reed have brought comedy back to the 494 strip.  Located in the Ramada Mall of America (the old Thunderbird Hotel), the Joke Joint has quickly become the go-to place for Twin Cities comedy connoisseurs.
Goonies Comedy Club, Rochester MN - One of my new favorites.  The owner, Mark Klampe, is doing everything right to make this one of the country's best rooms.  Check it out if you're in town!
Comedy Club on State Street, Madison WI  How can you not love Madison comedy audiences?  They're smart, because UW is right down the street. And they're from Wisconsin, so they like to drink and have a good time.
Other Recommended People and Businesses
	Casanova Criminal Defense  A friend who is a former prosecutor and aggressive trial attorney.  If you ever get in trouble with the law, Casanova Criminal Defense should be your first call.
