"On Scatterbrain, McIntire addresses the ups and downs of a working comic's life. The bulk of the album is all laughs -- solid material on everything from having kids to the war on terror, killer stuff from one of Boston's most reliable comedy veterans -- but it's the bonus track, the one labeled "Nagasaki," that's getting the most attention. The nearly half-hour track is nothing short of a complete hell gig..."

Nick Zaino

"If Tim set out to reveal more about himself and be vulnerable on his new CD, Scatterbrain, he succeeded. He pulls off the delicate trick of turning inward without losing his persona. He is still The Reverend. Now, rather than pointing the finger at others, he's pointing it at himself. Instead of looking at obscure news stories and making them universal, he takes something universal, the birth of a child, and makes it his...It's smart and fearless. Mr. Hicks, this is Mr. Cosby."

Comedy Studio Wrapup

Great show at the Comedy Studio last night. Typical for the Studio -- fantastic lineup, and absolutely no crowd. Can't quite seem to get any traction there these days. Last night's show was as good as we've had, even without the benefit of Walters' wang.¹. I was especially pleased with my opening set. Freestyled 15 minutes of stuff I hadn't planned on ever doing onstage. It was one of those rare nights where I pulled that off without being (a) self-indulgent or (b) unfunny. A little of the stuff was one-shot: it won't ever work if I'm consciously trying to make it a bit. But at least one little chunk should be usable.

The rest of the gang came to play as well. Abe Smith, who I've really come to like, was hilarious, and Dan Sulman caught the stream-of-consciousness bug and riffed a little bit on watching Scarface as a 12-year old kid. Brendon Small was in town, brushing up for Aspen. He's sporting some weird new American Chopper-esque moustache and mutton chops, but is still a bona-fide Funny Motherfucker.

¹The spread of the Reuters story seems to have slowed, but Sam forwarded me this email [cursing at me for getting him into this has been excised]:
Hello Sam,

My name is Marc Fellhauer and I am the producer of the Drew and Mike show on WRIF in Detroit. I just read a story about your stand up routine last Thursday in Cambridge when you exposed yourself. I was wondering if you would be interested in talking on the air about your unique comedy. Actually, we find it very funny. I can be reached via this email or at xxx-xxx-5608.

Thanks and I hope to hear from you,

marc
Is it me, or does anyone else smell a setup here? I'm going to try to talk him into doing it but have a contingency plan in place in case they sandbag him.
