Science Comedian Brian Malow on Good Day Sacramento

Science comedian Brian Malow on Good Day, Sacramento, very early in the morning on Friday, September 24, 2010, having driven from San Francisco, having left much, much earlier. So tired.

We talked about science comedy and my insect photography. Check it out at http://www.insectpaparazzi.com .

The appearance was to promote my first performance at The Sacramento Comedy Spot. Had a fantastic show there and new video clips are coming soon.

I give you a lot of credit. Making people laugh with a science jokes is as difficult as taking a joke that only works in a particular language and translating it into a different one. You should meet The Big Bang Theory guys. They are riding a pretty big wave right now.

@realskpetic isn't that the case with any guest personality on a talk show? When some star has a new movie out, they do the circuit: Letterman or Leno, then Regis the next morning, and they always tell the same anecdotes. He's just implementing a low-key version of a proven formula... look at it this way: when you hear those jokes now, you think of him...

@realskpetic Come on now. All my material is not on YouTube. That night I did an hour & a half show. And yes comedians tell the same jokes to different audiences. Burn 'em! Also, certain jokes work best in brief local TV spots.

Here's an hour of me: watch?v=Ip3pCLf6lak (or search on Brian Malow & "The Final Frontier - An Evening of Science Humor")

Warning: it's not straight stand up. It's more of a humorous lecture in a speaker series. Let me know what you think (I didn't upload it)

Apparently I am missing no contribution to humanity by sleeping past 10 a.m. on a regular basis.

The whole point is the audience reaction and in the case outlined the idea that these sort of things can be discussed in front of a baby etc.

@johncrwarner Doug Stanhope made it funny, but that was only because he was telling it to his baby boy .....in that context I laughed ....I've heard it told 4-5 other times ...and ja ...the joke itself is rubbish.

@temporaldisplacement

so I discovered by watching the link - it is a shaggy dog story with no real punchline and depends on the audience laughing at extreme sexual acts.
