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
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!
The Comic Strip, El Paso TX The definition of an "A Room".  The club packs them in, the waitstaff is professional, the room and stage are perfect, and Bart Reed and his crew treat you like a king.  This is what all clubs should aspire to become.
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.
Recommended Ways to Waste Your Time
U Joint  One of the best bands in the Twin Cities.  They've got a great sound, and Jeff Schuller's lyrics are hard to beat.   They recently broke up, but you can still check out their tunes online!
Tenacious D  They give Rock a much needed kick in the ass.  Jack Black and Kyle Gass are the D.  By far the most amusing, offensive and rockin' CD in a looooong time.
The Drudge Report Get the latest news well before it hits the rest of the media.  Matt Drudge dishes out just the good stuff, and he usually scoops the rest of the media on any breaking news.  If you need to know what's going on, check here first!
The Professional Disc Golf Association  A good reason to get out of the hotel room or condo.  This site lists every Disc Golf course in the US.  So just spend a few bucks on golf discs, and cheap entertainment awaits.
