Keith Alberstadt on Bob & Tom Thursday

keith_alberstadt.jpg
Nashville’s own Keith Alberstadt is back on the Bob & Tom Radio Show again.. tune in Thursday, August 23rd. Here’s a note from Keith:

In other news….
After last year’s trip overseas to entertain our military, I requested to return in 2007 during the time when they would miss being home the most… over the holidays. That request has been honored, and I’m heading back to the Persian Gulf in December for about 5 weeks. It will be my third trip over there, and I’m looking forward to it.
In case you haven’t seen my latest writings on my website, you’ve been missing a lot.
I had an incredibly frightening nightmare recently that you can read about in my latest column.
And if you don’t keep up with the news, I got you covered. Read my August news item jokes here and here. Soon, I will also have them in a recorded podcast that you’ll be able to subscribe to. Stay tuned for that!
Thank you for the continued support. Hope to see you at a show sometime.
Keith

Mr. Alberstadt will be appearing at Zanies Comedy Showplace Sunday, August 24th at 7:30 p.m. as part of the “Late Show with David Letterman” audition showcase. Make reservations now, because that show will sell out fast!

Beth Damn Donahue & The Southern Fried Chicks Tour on CMT

Beth Damn Donahue & The Southern Fried Chicks Tour
The Southern Fried Chicks Tour, featuring Nashville’s own Beth Damn Donahue, along with Etta May, Trish Suhr, and Sonya White, debuts July 27th at 10pm Central, 11pm Eastern on CMT.
The suits at CMT say, “Southern Fried Chicks is the top grossing female comedy tour on the road today, featuring Trish Suhr, Sonya White, Beth Donahue and Etta May. This one-hour stand-up special will bring together four different women who will share their hilarious take on life, love and living in middle America.”
Beth says, “It was REALLY cool. I didn’t know it at the time cause I was super stressed and cracked out, but now that it’s over I have to say it was really really cool. I’ve done lots of TV, but it’s been a while and this MTV Crew was a well-oiled machine, man.”
Ms. Damn Donahue is FUNNY. You probably used to listen to her on the radio here in Nashville & if you’re lucky you’ve seen her live at Zanies the last Wednesday of the month for the last few months. Don’t miss this show.. and don’t miss Beth’s upcoming appearances at Zanies.

Wix Wichmann in FameCast Competition


In a search for the nation’s best new talent, FameCast has launched an online competition – an artist discovery and entertainment community platform. Artists can connect with a national audience and compete to become the next FameCast Fenom, a prize worth $10,000 and national exposure. Season One is in full swing and Nashville’s own Wix Wichmann is in the final 10 comics.
Wix says..

Ok everyone I’m getting desperate now. For those of you who don’t know, I’m in an online comedy competition that started with over 100 comics and they have whittled it down to the Top 10. I’m currently sitting in the 9th position and voting ends on Saturday! If I get into the Top 5 I fly to Austin to compete for $10,000. Which would work great for me now that I have to buy my own Jim Beam. If you haven’t voted yet, please do, it only requires you to sign in and is painless.
Here’s the link. After you click it, you’ll have to scroll through the ten comics until you get to my picture. Click on it and vote where the checkmark is below my picture.
