The day before The Comedians of Comedy premiered on Comedy Central, ASpecialThing.com sat down with Patton Oswalt in a tea room on 3rd Street in Los Angeles to discuss his childhood, his beginnings as a comedian, his new show and his future. It’s a fantastic interview with one of the funniest comics working today.. and should be on every comedy fan’s required reading list. Read the interview here.

#13 – 2005.11.26
Jesse Perry, Billy Wayne Davis, Chad Riden, Rob Haynes and Chris Loyd play standup clips from Craig Smith, Pat Dixon, Reno Collier and Doug Stanhope. Jesse Perry’s Mother called in to warn everybody about turkey poisioning.. and Pat Dixon called in talking about his appearance on the Late Late Show and other funny stuff. Turns out, the Stanhope clip was only partially edited and one of the radio station’s owners called in to complain about the language. Of course, we took the call live on the air and backtracked as fast and as cowardly as possible. Also, Jesse and Rob competed for the title of Iron Comic; Col. Parker phoned in; we talked about what we were thankful for; we tried to retire a bit about how white and black people are different; and lives were changed. However, some idiot forgot to start recording the show on time, so the first part is missing.. so it’s only a partial REVOLUTION!! this week. Still, enjoy.
Pat Dixon on the Late, Late Show
Comedian Pat Dixon is scheduled to appear on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson Friday, November 25th. The Late, Late Show is produced by Worldwide Pants, Inc. and follows the Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.
Pat is a great comic and a good friend and long-time supporter of NashvilleStandUp. Tune in and laugh with Pat.. and check out his website at www.YouAreTheEnemy.com.

It’s pretty – it’s from the Comedy Central Attell/Black/Hedberg tour.” Tune in and if you have anything you’d like to share, hear or questions to ask, let Doug know.
