Some say Bob Hope was the boy band of comedians – aparently he didn’t write his own material, at all… he just spoke it. That said, he was the face of the early days and from him came so much to follow. I’ve great memories of him and nothing would make me happier than sitting back and watching Bob stroll out the puch lines like no other could. Enjoy and have a happy 2009 :)

However, eliminating F’s from comedians work leaves very little available. And the rule is if it has one [except for Mr Connolly who can get away with it...] it’s not happening. Anyhow, for those who know him – enjoy; for those who don’t enjoy :)

Bill Hicks biographers [i've read 'em all] say – and it’s true – that when at the Montreal Festival Leary stole in full Hicks entire act…. ?! But Dennis got great acclaim for the material. Other controversy… probably one of the hardest comedians to find non-offensive -yet funny- material on – which made my job once again very difficult.

That said – he is a funny guy – and for the MTV generation this one is a real contender for a reeling in the years funniest nomination. Love him or loathe him – he’s now one of the greats. Enjoy ;)
