"Usually you don't see a Republican Stand-up
(unless somebody is
handing him a campaign donation)."
"I heard your bit on Europe while
listening to
xm. I had to pull
over because I couldn't see through the tears of laughter.
... I wish more people could see that the grass is greenest right
here in the USA. ...When are you touring Dallas (better yet Ft.
Worth)? I'll round up 15-20 of my right wing-nut friend and check
out your show. "
"Tim Slagle made our function a
rousing
success. His conservative
comedy was not only cutting edge, it was down-right hilarious. "
"When I heard there would be a
Libertarian Comedian at the event,
I thought it was like an apology. You know, like we couldn't get a real
comedian, so at least we got one that was a Libertarian. After seeing
the show, I was delighted to learn, that Tim Slagle is a Libertarian,
and a great Comedian.
"I used to consider myself a Centrist, but
after seeing the comedian
Tim Slagle spout his viewpoints on todays political scene, I find
myself moving more and more to the right wing."
"Today most political comedy seems just an
endless tirade of Bushisms,
it was refreshing for once to see Republican Comedy."
"I've see Tim Slagle a number of times
and as a
libertarian I'm casting
my vote his way as our next Secretary of Defense. It's rare to see a
politically savvy comedian with the ability to communicate Republican,
Conservative views with such an entertaining and provocative style"
"We are in an age when many comics
profess to
be Libertarian, Tim
Slagle is the ORIGINAL Libertarian comic"
"The Highlight of the Gun Rally was Right Wing
comedian Tim Slagle."
"Champion of Free Speech, Libertarian stand-up
comic Tim Slagle had
them rolling in the aisles."
"At the forefront of the Conservative Comedy
Movement is Tim Slagle, a
twenty-five year veteran of the circuit."
"I was shocked. I thought every comic was
somewhere to the Left of
Chairman Mao. But Tim Slagle is a Right Wing comic"
"Tim Slagle's Reflections in Liberty Magazine define Right Wing
Political Satire."
All Good Things
Must Pass
Halloween came early this year. Unfortunately there was more trick than
treat, since the News wasn't so good. After a year of tearing up the AM
band, Jerry's Kidders is officially on hiatus. It turns out that the
Big Wigs in New York felt that having the a number one show, just
wasn't good enough, so they cancelled the Jerry Agar Show.
Consequently, Jerry's Kidders were shown the door as well.
Starting Monday Morning, October 27th the 9-11 slot on 890 WLS will be
replaced by Erich "Mancow" Muller. It was a great run, and I thank all
of you who were in the audience. I also want to thank Jerry, Maura,
Dobie, and Ken; for making my year as a radio star a delightful
experience I shan't soon forget.
For those of you who are into Nostalgia, podcasts of
most 2008 shows are still available for download off the WLS bandwith,
although I fully expect them to be deleted soon.
Barack-No-Phobia:
No Kidding Aside
Were you listening? It was one of
the funniest radio shows of
this political season, and if you weren't tuning in, you haven't missed
the boat yet. According
to a recent article in the New
York Times, there is nothing funny about Barack
Obama.
Apparently all the late night, and comedy news show hosts are lax to
make jokes about the Democrat nominee for President. Well that didn't
sit too well with Tim Slagle. So he
and three other
comics spent an hour trading Barack Obama jokes, on WLS 890 AM. It was
a great success. Reviews have been great, and I think it
contained some of the funniest Obama jokes to date. Did
you miss it? It's not too late, Thanks to the miracle of the
Internet, you can now download FREE podcasts of the show Just

Punchline
Magazine writes: "The bottom line is that Europa is partly
educational,
primarily humorous and undoubtedly brave—
like most good comedy should
be."
Serious
Comedy writes: "Tim Slagle is a deep-voiced observational
stand-up
comic whose social commentary is dead on and very original. ...This is
witty, smart stuff that will please fans of intelligent comedy."

Here's a showcase Tim did up
in Minneapolis last April for a big time Network Talent Coordinator. I
think it came out fairly well. It runs about seven minutes.
