What to expect
Firesign Theatre’s David Ossman (as George Tirebiter), comedy legend Shelley Berman, and former SNL comedian Senator Al Franken join the cast of The Comedy-O-Rama Hour for another six misadventures of Sgt. Lefty, Ellis da Boatkeeper, Adam Maxwell, Andy, and Woody (all voiced by Joe Bev); Olive Pitts, Ellis, Mrs. Terwilliger, and Lkie (all voiced by Lorie Kellogg); Ron Drysdale and Jimmy (both voiced by James Folly); and Stinky Peter Moss (voiced by Kenny Savoy), as well as the rest of the cabal of crazy Camp Waterlogg characters.
Included in this set:
“Camp Waterlogg Homeland Security Needs to Go-Go-Go!”“A Happy Camp Waterlogg Father’s Day from Uncle Goopie”“A Camp Waterlogg July 4th Fundraiser”“Camp Waterlogg: Firesign Gets Waterlogged”“The Camp Waterlogg Election Special”“Camp Waterlogg: Shelley Revisited, Part 1”The Comedy-O-Rama Hour is story- and character-driven improvisation that goes beyond sketch comedy to blossom into full-fledged radio theater. Recorded in and around husband-and-wife creative team Joe Bev and Lorie Kellogg’s Napanoch, New York, house in the woods, the series first aired on XM Radio in 2002. More than 120 shows and thirteen years later, the series is heard weekly on public radio stations nationwide, streamed on the web at bearmanormedia.com, and podcast anytime all over the Internet, including on Waterlogg.com.
Joe Bev says, “We have been doing most these characters for more than twelve years now and some I have been voicing for more than forty years. We no longer have to write what we want to say. The Comedy-O-Rama Hour has also evolved from a scripted to a fully improvised hour of radio theater.”
Critics Review
-
“In a world where buzz words like ‘edgy’ and ‘dark’ dominate the popular culture landscape, Camp Waterlogg is a breath of fresh air at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. The characters who live here may be misguided or bumbling, but they never hurt anyone. Ridiculous without being malicious.”
Chuck O’Donnell, “35 Years of Joyous Laughter”
-
“Fans of old-time radio classics are in for a real treat. From Joe Bevilacqua and his Waterlogg Productions, makers of the hilarious Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes and Uncle Dunkle and Donnie, comes volume two in the Best of the Comedy-O-Rama Hour. And it couldn’t come at a better time. The current trend in audiobooks is the revitalization of the classic radio program, and all the publishers are doing it…It seems that America is rediscovering the joys of the spoken word. And Joe Bev is adding some very worthwhile products to the market.”
Steven Brandt, Audiobook Heaven
-
“The Comedy-O-Rama Hour is one of the most unique and original productions out there these days. With Joe’s talent for different voices, I never know what’s coming next, or what it will sound like. Another thing that makes these shows stand out is that it is quite obvious to the listener that Joe and his cast are having fun making these shows, and that makes them fun to listen to as well. Great parodies of old-time radio icons, classic moments with legendary comedians, and wonderful voice-acting, The Comedy-O-Rama Hour picks up where great radio comedy left off decades ago. Heck, it’s even produced in the Borscht Belt.”
Steve Karesh, former program director, Sonic Theater, XM Satellite Radio
