"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."

Fancy Pants Comedy

Holy cats. That gig was WAY nicer than it had any right to be. The show at the Mountainview GRAND Resort was a blast and a half, but the place itself is unbelievable. Jim Dailakis turned out to be a really nice dude...very talented and good at what he does. Unfortunately, his teetotalling sort of flew in the face of Australian stereotypes, but he DID pack away three scoops of sorbet. Let's see Paul Hogan match THAT. Greg Boggis was a hoot, and he did, in fact, get some new shots for his fan pages. As it turns out, the only thing he's more passionate about than beaver photography is politics, and we spent a fun drive up and back raging against the juggernaut of right-wing suck that is the Bush administration.

The resort was incredible, and apparently, what I really need to excel at a comedy show is free beer, followed by a steam bath, a cold plunge, a hot tub soak, a nap, and a forty dollar steak. Unfortunately, since most gigs around here are NOT at grand resorts, and are instead usually at truck stops and speakeasies, that level of comedy goodness may not come around again for quite a while.
