BARBARA JENSEN SPEAKS

A note from Earles And Jensen:

Due to a horrendous workload, we (Earles and Jensen) had to farm out an entry to Jeffrey’s mom, who generally cares more about word jumbles, grocery lists/clipping coupons, and the current price of hanging ferns than the comedy landscape, but the help was greatly needed.




Hello internetters, Barbara Jensen here…Jeffrey’s mom. I’d like to thank my loving son for using his connections to get me my very first attempt at “blogging.” He said some people would actually read it! Plus, the ladies around the office keep asking me about my recent trip to visit Jeffrey, so I’ll just direct them here! Ok, let’s do this…

You have no idea how excited I was. I’m used to the comedy of Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart, and that younger guy, Brian Regan. Quite frankly, I was getting a little bored with it all, and harbored a slight interest in these newer comedians that I always hear Jeffrey namedropping. So, I hit the bricks on my own last Wednesday night and attended something called “Sound of Young America” at a tavern named “The Knitting Room” or whatever. Hey contemporary comedy people! Give your venues names that an old lady can remember!

A confession: This being leftfield comedy, I expected to feel 100% alienated by both the performance and the audience, but to my relief, I related to or at least understood some of what was going on around me. It was comforting to see that I had a lot in common with most of the patrons, and some of the performers that were milling about before and after the show. The middle-management, just-let-yourself-go, throw-on-whatever’s-clean fashion sense and grooming policy that I adopted at age fifty seems to be coming back in style, along with all forms of “mandals” (hey, it’s getting hot outside). But these kids don’t stop there…they add an edgy element to the look, one almost identical to the look preferred by the guys I always see smoking in front of Theatreworks, the hotspot for interpretive dance and dramatic stage productions that’s right across the street from my office. As for the entertainment tonight, I understood but can’t really remember most of the jokes. At least nothing seemed to really go over my head!! All in all…a great time!!

That looks like a good deal, but I'm saving up for the Blu-Ray of Burn After Reading.

[Gilly]

They have Early Man on vinyl for 5 bucks too right now.

[samir]

i'm too late, but that CD is worth it for Bleachy alone. he tries to get into the army!

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i'm a fan of Barbara and her husband.

[samir]

I also would have accepted "The dude that tries to get a date with the Verizon help-line lady".

[iAmBaronVonTito]

coupled with "T-Mobile Employees Fuck Off on the Clock", worth the track title alone.

and ive said it a million times, but The Party Doctor makes me smile really hard.  my cheeks hurt. 

[Gregory]

I think I like the lady that picks up more than I like the Party Doctor.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

ha, yeah.  she's a treat. 

[samir]

Not Earles and Jensen, but related to The Party Doctor,

Have you heard Andy Daly's album? There's a character on there, who runs Life of the Party, Inc.

And it's the most terrifying thing I've heard all year.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

unfortunately, samir, the only thing ive ever bought from andy daly is a mustache tv mustache.  otherwise, he's a guy i don't mean to forget. 

[samir]

I put up one track from 'Nine Sweaters' recently, check it.
