Allan Havey & Joanie Fagan on Howie's Late Night Rush May 21, '09

With Havey you realize immediately that his best bits are almost never scripted. Humor comes very naturally to Havey. His stories are always to die for. I sure hope he has kept a journal over the decades because they are solid gold and would make for a best seller if he ever decides to write a book. His style is very confident and sometimes unpredictable. The New York Times called him, cocksure, irreverent and very funny. But seeing Havey in a live setting is where he is at his best. He is fearless tackling any subject or challenging any skeptic. Sometimes I actually want someone to try and interrupt him because his improvisational skills are legendary and hell go off on a rant, which means his mind has kicked into a much higher gear. Thats what makes a Havey show entertaining to watch as he will change the direction of the show on any given night. Sometimes hell take a catch phrase and just run with it for however long it takes to produce the sounds of laughter from the audience. According to Allan, I try to take the best things out of my club work, fit it together, and describe what I'm about, who I am. Over the years he has appeared on television acting on Seinfeld, The Louie Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm on HBO. I enjoyed the short-lived, Free Ride on FOX because it utilized much of his improvisational skills. His quick thinking abilities is what landed him on Ashton Kutchers reality-based TV show, Punkd. He is so convincing its tough to tell when hes being sincere or not. On the big screen he has appeared in the movies Internal Affairs with Richard Gere, Checking Out with Jeff Daniels, Rounders with Matt Damon, Wild Things Part 2: The Glades with Isaiah Washington and most recently in Hancock starring Will Smith. On the late night talk show circuit Havey has been a regular on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night With Conan OBrien and cables Comedy Central and even appeared on Comic Relief. Joan Fagan is one of the 3 Blonde Moms that she not only is a part of but also created the very popular trio that performs in theatres nationwide. As a solo act Fagan has appeared in dozens of successful shows including Will & Grace, Frasier and Just Shoot Me. Joanies acting credits include films like 2001s Race to Space with James Woods, Bubble Boy for Touchstone Pictures and Disneys 1994 flick, Angels in the Outfield that also starred Danny Glover and Tony Danza. She was also part of CMT: The Greatest - 20 Sexiest Videos of 2006 and she was also part of a daily womens theme oriented comedy show called She TV. The show (hosted by Mo Gaffney) brings together a panel of two or three female comedy performers who discuss the days topic and field questions from audience members. Other TV credits include The Jerry Lewis Telethon, 3 Evening at the Improvs, MTVs Hour Comedy Hour and Girls Night Out on Comedy Central.
