Can I link up to this, from my web page? I’m planning to gather as many sources of information as I am able.
Very good journey and experience!
Great sharing this.
Thanks for this useful article.
Great points! I will be checking back here often!
Why no Jon Stewart? Don’t know if Stephen Colbert will appreciate being surrounded by a bunch of liberals. On second thought he might see it as a badge of honor – The lone voice of reason!
Can’t say we didn’t try for Stewart. There’s a portrait, though.
No Bill Hicks? Guess he needs his own book!
This is a good post, I stumbled across your story while looking for song lyrics. Thanks for sharing, I’ll be sure to return regularly.
I was so frustrated beacuse I couldn`t resolve this issue. Then I found your site in google and problem is solved. Thanks!
really appreciate YOU — thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing, I found this article while googling for new lyrics, useful comments and good points made.
This is an interesting article. Thanks for sharing.
I am thrilled to have grabbed my copy of this great book at a fabulous night of satiristas at the Punchline! Splendid having Deborah Campos open into a refreshingly irreverent Paul Provenza set, then a blazing Jamie Kilstein suite, capped off with Will Shakespearean Durst. Such a satisfying evening of poetry for me– satiristas have sustained me during the intense right wing bullying decades. Thank you for a brilliant show and for this masterwork. My dear Paul Provenza, I love you and all of your dear cohorts, and really appreciate your capturing a bit of their genius in this beautiful momento of why I love you all. Growing up overseas, before the age of mass TV, we had some comedy albums with us– The 2000 Year Old Man was part of our family lore, as were Tom Lehrer songs. Comedy and jazz, blues and Motown, were favorite parts of my American heritage. So a couple of years ago, when Mom passed away, I dove right into my dear satiristas art, as part of the healing process. So I especially thank you, dear Paul, for compiling this family album. You’ve got my favorites all right here, and I thank you. I have been lucky enough to see Robin Williams (twice), Paul Mooney, Dave Chappelle, Lizz Winstead, Will Durst (4x), Marc Maron, Tom Rhodes, Janeane Garofolo, and the others, even remotely, John Stewart, Eddie Izzard, Stephen Colbert, etc., have really helped sustain me through the intense pendulum pushing and grabbing by the rabid right wing.
Thank you for this beautiful yearbook. I look forward to gathering more autographs as I weather my next few years still here in the USA. Gotta get my yearbook signed, eh?
Thank you for your dedication to the art form of satire today and tomorrow.
I look forward to the Green Room Interviews on Showtime too.
Love and thanks.

I am thrilled to have grabbed my copy of this great book at a fabulous night of comedy at the Punchline in San Francisco! Thanks for compiling this kind of family album of my favorite comedians, who are all satiristas. Thanks for this brilliant tribute to the art of satire.

I really like what you write here, very fresh and intelligent. One thing though, I’m running Firefox on Linux and some of your layout pieces are a little broken. I realize it’s not a common setup, but it’s still something to keep an eye on. Just shooting you a heads up.
Nice Website. You should think more about RSS Feeds as a traffic source. They bring me a nice bit of traffic.
Great info! I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don
I feel more men and women will need to read this, quite excellent info.
Nice story, hey I stumbled on to this post while searching for lyrics. Thanks for sharing I’ll tell my friends about this too.
Really usefull Info Thank You for sharing. Now I know why so many people love this site
I must agree with ur MESSAGE. Well written and inspirational!
Writers are not appreciated enough, thanks for the write-up.
Bill Maher will be my favorite but Stephen Colbert is easily the most creative and ingenuitive.
Only read half of it!!! and I love it!!! Funny how you can walk through a bookstore merely hoping to find ONE book about comedy that would completely satisfy you!
Didnt expect to…until i fell on this.
(Man, just read maself, and i realized i sound like a goddamn critic, paid to say this shit! ha!)
I MEAN IT THO! GREAT BOOK!
Why no Chris Morris? You got a couple of other Brits on there.
With the Brits part of it was who I had portraits of. There’s a few people we would have loved to include but I had never shot. We want to do ¡SATIRISTAS UK! and get all those dudes!
Thanks! We really appreciate it. Maybe you could write something like that on the Amazon Reader reviews. All that stuff helps!
Hi there, sorry so much OT, just I need to know, what do you think about polish castel’s statement? In my persuasion it’s tragical, so maybe we have some possibility to do with it… What is your belief?
I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it.I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.
Hi guys, sorry so much OT, merely I need to ask, what do you know about polish castel’s state? In my feeling it’s tragic, so maybe we have some potentiality to cause with it… What is your public opinion?
Things you brought up lots of sense. Nonetheless, consider this, imagine if you offered a bit content? I am talking about, I do not tend to tell you how to run your blog, however if you added something that can grab peoples notice? Just like a online video or a picture or maybe two to obtain viewers interested regarding what you mentioned.
