"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
The Boston Globe

"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."

Heckler Haunting

How weird is this? One of the worst hecklers I ever had in my nearly 11 years in comedy (pause while my stomach churns at THAT figure) has gotten into comedy and was one of my opening acts at Chops Lounge on Saturday night.

[cue wavy lines for flashback sequence]

I first met her in the town function hall in Plum Island, Massachusetts, where Dave Rattigan booked a BYOB show, and man, did these people B a lotta B's. Dave did well, as I recall, then Tony Moschetto went up and killed so unbelievably hard that when he was done, people put on their jackets to leave because they felt the show must be over. It's always great to be brought up to, "No, wait, there's another guy! No, he's good! Stick around!"

So needless to say, I went up and began chomping it hard. HARD. The table up front was building a pyramind between me and them out of empty Bud cans (equals classy!), and trust me when I say there were so many empties, they coulda interred Ramses in the fucker. Needless to say, I commented on it, whereupon the drunkest of the bunch lit into me. She was blonde and hammered, and was so brutal, that I eschwed clever banter and went for plain meanness. I still feel bad about what I said to her...and no, I won't write it because SHE IS NOW A COMIC AND SAYS SHE LOVES READING MY BLOG. Who knew I'd ever see her again?

Goddamn, this is a strange world.
