"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."

This and That; Show Tonight

Lotsa catching up to do.

First and foremost, if God didn't want me to smoke, why would he make Dunhills taste so good?

After several weeks of successful tobacco avoidance, the monkey bit me in the back this week, due mostly to the fact that Harvard's gym was closed for spring break and to the fact that I was experiencing adrenaline dump after adrenaline dump while helping orchestrate an April Fool's joke on the Kvetch board. The joke came off swimmingly, though a few people seem to have sussed it out ahead of time. Reaction has been mostly positive, though a few people have been angry, sanctimonious, or juvenile. Such is the risk you run with trying to play a practical joke, I guess. I will say this: if you sense that a joke is afoot, and your inclination is to ruin it, you are a heckler. If you sense a joke is afoot, and your inclination is to try to trick the tricksters back, you are a comic.

Last night was rock star night in Rochester, NH, where I made fat cash for an easy spot in front of 400 people at the Rochester Opera House. Even better than that was watching Paul Nardizzi and Tony V absolutely destroy. There is nothing so comedically sublime as watching Tony V do crowd work. He riffs better than most comics write.

Tonight, I have an early show at a church in Amesbury that I'm not going to invite anyone to, and then I'll be headlining the show at the Chateau in Manchester at 9:00. Would love to see you there.
