"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."

Weekend Roundup

Two fun shows this weekend - one in a traditional fashion, the other in a David Lynch sort of way. The Chateau in Manchester was, of course, great, though the yellow spotlight made all the comics look like they had advanced liver disease, though only 2 out of the 4 of them did. It was maybe a little heavy on the hecklers, but that sure beats the hell out of a dull crowd.

Last night in Vermont...what a hell of a thing. Sam Walters kindly drove, and we only got a little lost and he didn't rip the exhaust system completely off his car. Once we found the gig, we found a huge room with only 9 audience members, 4 of whom were excruciatingly hip lesbians (this becomes relevant in a second). Our third comic is completely MIA. So Sammy goes up and does a yeoman's job of getting them going, and then I hit stage. After about 20 minutes, I hear "Tim...hey, Tim!" from the darkness. Tom Mitchell, the third comic, has shown up an hour late, and now he wants his time. The show grinds to a complete screeching halt, and being the consummate showman I am, I cover the awkwardness with, "Umm...okay, so this is weird, but I'm going to take a break and let another comic talk." See? Goddamn SEAMLESS. So while Tommy goes up and does his time, the owner announces that she's just caught 2 of the lesbians in delecto flagrante in the women's room, and looks to me like I'm supposed to get righteously indignant, too. I was too busy trying not to pop a boner to do that. Then suddenly, Mitchell's done, and I have to go back up and do another 30. The remaining lesbians really dug the story about my sister coming out, and from there it was new stuff, and when all was said and done, I closed really strong and only slightly drunk.

See what you miss when you don't come to shows?
