Stand up comedy. Your host in MC presents comedy Appeteasers, a podcast where you will find short comedy sets, stories, and funny bits from the famous and not so famous. Here is your host and MC, Scott Edwards.

R. Scott Edwards: 0:20

Hi, and welcome to comedy appeteasers. And this is a very special one because it's the 100th show that I've done with comedy appeteasers. It's been so much fun. You know, my main show, stand up comedy. Your host at MC is a mixture of stand up comedy and interviews with people from the industry, from comics to club owners to bookers and agents. And it's a real thrill to do. But I created comedy appetizers to give a short form, straight stand up comedy format that people could take a break from, work from, or just to add a smile to their day. And this will be a special one for the 100th show. It features a really fun comic I liked a lot back in the day. He was out of the Bay Area at the time. Frank Prinsey. Very, very funny young guy. Then we have a really funny piece that Bruce Babyman bomb did where he took another comic, Denny Johnston, and the two of them did kind of a takeoff on the Beatles song Blackbird. So if you know the song, which you'll. You'll immediately know when you hear it. Bruce Baum kind of put this together. The actual singer is Denny Johnston. Two great comics and their version of Blackbird from the Beatles. And to top things off, we have Milt Abel, a really good friend of mine. He now lives up in Washington, one of the best stand up comics to work my clubs. And this. You'll just get a taste of it here. I know you'll agree. So let's enjoy the 100th show of comedy appetizers right now.

Bruce Baum: 2:02

Another wonderful crowd here at laughs Unlimited. Welcome to laughs, ladies and gentlemen. We have a great show coming up for you right now. Let's get right in with the comedy. Our first act tonight is a good friend of ours. In fact, we know him as Uncle Frankie. Goes way back to the beginnings of Lance Unlimited. He's out of San Francisco. I think you'll enjoy him. Let's have a nice round flaw as our first act tonight. Frank Prinsey, right here. Frank Prinsey.

Frank Prinzi: 2:26

Thank you. Very nice to see you all. I'm feeling kind of strange myself the other night. I had an out of body experience. It's just true. I was lying in my bed, and all of a sudden I just started floating up, up. It was real scary, though, because I have one of those ceiling fans in my bedroom I can't sleep in. My biggest problem right now, and I blame my diet. I've been buying a lot of those deep fried pork skins. I'm not eating them, though. I'm just trying to reassemble a pig in my apartment. I had an easter egg hunt in my apartment. It's really kind of tricky because I live alone. I just hid the eggs all over and then banged my head on the wall till I forgot where I hid them. It was weird because last year I banged my head so hard, I forgot I hid the eggs. I've been saving my money, though. I got big dreams, big plans. I don't know. I figured out what I'm going to do when I win the lottery. I got it all planned since I have to wear these glasses when I drive, and I hate wearing them. I think if I win that lotto thing, I'm going to get my windshield done in my prescription. You know, when you get older, have bifocals put in. And after that, I'm going to open up a chain of all you can eat restaurants that deliver. Maybe gray. Just call them up late at night. Uh, yeah, we'd like some more big truckload of beef pulls up. It'd be great. Man. My mom used to scare me about food, and that wasn't fair. My mom used to tell me that mayonnaise could kill you on a hot day. You know, she never explained to me how or why or when this mayonnaise was going to kill me. So now picture me. I'm a little kid sitting home alone on a hot summer day, just staring at the refrigerator door, thinking it's going to spring open. Big jar of mayonnaise on my jugular van.

Denny Johnston: 4:41

No.

Frank Prinzi: 4:44

In fact, to this day, I'm afraid to leave the knife in the jar and turn my back. It's like I got back at my mother dead right from birth. I had a very large head when I was a kid. In fact, this is the same size head I was born with. I used to tip over a lot when I was little, and it got worse. My parents would take me down. You know, where those street artist guys draw your caricature? You know, for most kids, that's really fun. I remember this artist guy sat me down. He drew this real big head riding this little bicycle. Underneath he wrote actual size. I was the baby of the family, which was very depressing because I was spoiled, I'll admit that. I mean, my sisters, they were older than me, strictly disciplined, and I could do what I wanted. I was out with my sister one day. We were just horsing around, you know, and she broke her leg and my parents had her destroyed. Then at junior high, it got very scary. That was a weird time. They used to make us guys take our swimming class naked. Can you imagine that? Some guys that are like men already, you know, I got the hair on their chest, walking around the pool, flaunting their manhood. And there's some guys that are like little boys, still with very large heads. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to celebrity session. Tonight's special guest, Jimmy Stewart. Okay. Blackbird, take 53.

Denny Johnston: 6:19

Yeah. No. Now. Blackbird singing in the dead of night I take these broken wings and I learn to fly. Oh, you're lying. You've only waited for this moment to be. Blackbirds singing in the dead of night. Take these sunken eyes and learn to sing. All your life you've only waited for this moment to be free.

Bruce Baum: 7:16

All right, that's a keeper.

Denny Johnston: 7:18

Yeah.

Bruce Baum: 7:20

Tonight, one of the funniest guys have been working here a long time, and he's a tad bitter about it. But anyway, he's from Los Angeles, California. Very, very funny. Please welcome a good friend of ours, miltable, right here. Mil table. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for that applause. That's encouraging. Thank you. I'm stoked, actually. It's good to be here. I'm glad to be away from home. I do not sleep well at home. My neighbors have a rooster that is blind. It has no idea when the sun rises. Take shots at it all night long. Cock a door. I do have some good news. I recently got married. Thank you very much. Playing a monastery here. Yeah, it's wonderful. We had a lovely outdoor ceremony. Except for the sniper. This is her dad with a bb gun. I'm going to do it. Quit popping me, dammit. Actually, we weren't sure what kind of ceremony we wanted. She wanted some sort of sacrifice. We settled on my lifestyle. It's morally wrong to judge and, well, you know. And we did a lot of traditional things, you know. I'll tell you something. I was a little nervous about that ceremony because you know why I was nervous? They asked the guy first. So, you know, my wife had a tremendous potential to make me look incredibly stupid in front of everybody. You take this woman to death, you part. I do. And you take him.

Denny Johnston: 9:00

No way.

Bruce Baum: 9:04

But things went well. We did a lot of traditional things. Through who? Bouquet to a bunch of her single lady friends who fought over that thing like an NBA rebound girl. I shot her, guarded a bunch of my single guy friends, and they would not touch that thing. They ducked out of the way and hit the ground in front of them. They just kicked it around like it was a dead snake. Look at that thing there. That's a garter snake there. That's what that is. Look at that. I think it's closer to you. We had a nice honeymoon. Went to the Caribbean, two weeks. Got a tremendous sunburn. Brown hair, pink body, white butt. I look like neapolitan ice cream.

R. Scott Edwards: 9:46
