I am you know if I had been on that island this is how I would've been in trouble. I am legal and not in brown. Sam Peckinpah now is that his real name the director. And why would he change it to that. Whom I am I. Always wonder what his wife's maiden name was.

Track the end they gave me more money than I won at the OK. And welcome the comedy to. The owner ost Alex Bennett and tonight we're going to feature three great comedy acts you know acting and comedy work go hand in hand. And for this comedian he had a lead role in the feature street music and has appeared in the PBS series up and coming and will be appearing in two NBC pilots originally from Cleveland Ohio. Ladies and gentlemen a big welcome for Mr. D. Allen mosques the oak.
I eat. That didn't break it. There's no cord here. Good evening. Thank you. This is 1984 maybe we can start out different 1984 you know as in 1983 I noticed every time I spoke to somebody who didn't know who I was they acted like they were picking up cat doo doo. But as anybody else do that just walk down the street cause your human being you know say hi to people you don't know hey how you know what. I don't know you don't know. I get that from everybody to white people black people white people are very suspicious when I speak to them. I just say hey you don't I don't have any money for such. My daughters marry me I'm OK. Like on the other hand I speak to black folks sometimes and sometimes black people are so
hip and cool. I can understand them. Say Robert how you been standing at the bottom. Just so much about the love you don't know much about what you want to say. OK Robert you take care then OK. Bye. People always want to be d d you're black. What do you think. I don't know. It. Was if you get into real callers on bage OK. Then. I don't know what they're talking about where a. Lot of people may be wondering how did you get to be page. So my mom is why my father's black somebody sniggered I heard that. It wasn't easy for me as a child you know I used to be very confused about that like half the time I don't know whether to go up my room and study a glass and play basketball.
But I'm ok now. But how much of it was really nervous there for a while maybe because my father was a man. Anybody else have a man for about. What he saw men you know you know when they saw men think it's like the size of your sexual organ it's the kind of car you drive some models of the thought well maybe a man was how loud his voice to get right. That's all it was how the song of the day what you want to do what you said you know what I'll tell you that I think you know what. We have. My father made the darkening abort right couldn't even work. Tell him to do just that. And the dog which I do every day. But what do you want me to become so nervous about my father that he had a borg like he would go.
Shut up. Even if I was on the motion. Yeah I love you girl OK. Made me nervous as he tried to make us see Oprah now I don't know how many people here like Oprah even know what it is right. Dr Downes he was seen an animal that's been hit maybe 13 14 times. Everybody doesn't just like you like don't just talk to me. What up the room warm summer. Everybody's when shorts and you walk barefoot you step on the floor. That's what life over. Watching television was it was fun as a child to sneak into that because my father didn't like us to do it because that would mess up your mind and a lot of ways you know because I remember shows like Tarzan remember Tarzan. To me that was very magical man you know because like and there and all of Africa there are only two
white people. And they would only want to talk to the animals. All the black people there were carry boxes on their head. Right. But I work here but I can't you know just up one understand that I like to see Tarzan to someplace real say like open up but you get turned up up. And I want you to have them one underwear for food. Up. Hollywood is magical beyond a doubt though because no one on Gilligan's Island ever got pregnant. However much you know if I had been on that island this is how I've been in trouble. But. I am. You know I'm not alive after five years of trying to scupper out the user confuse me though because you know the way you hear music on the radio I try to relate my love life like it is on the radio
and it just can't happen. I was confused when I when I deal with women mainly because like there's a really nice day something that really intrigues me and confuses me is like there's a really really nice date right in the sun is shining. Ladies will dress half naked right low cut blouse short shorts then they get mad when men stare. And we do stare don't we ladies it becomes clear. But you see you have to realize as men. We don't go down the street saying things like. I look at women's money and the woman has a fine man I'd like to suck on her intelligence. Has been great. None of us is wrong. Thank you. Ed was
us here. And Morris has given. Us This next group wormers worked his way through the ranks with the San Francisco comedy scene and has gone on to appear on such programmes of the night. He's one of the major comedy people in San Francisco and all the major clubs let's give him a big welcome ladies and gentleman here cotton Brown. The FEMA. To. My name is Leland cotton Brown. I don't know my parents wanted a black child. I don't what's going on there I think they were using the rhythm method and so.
I don't know I mean I'm not you know I'm not like I like the name and everything I think I made out much better my younger brother of buckwheat. So you know whenever been page and as we report it's like you hear your name just enough to tick you off. Then God knows what's after that. Well you know I'm going when I'm on a plane. Yeah I'll stick a bush down my pants shirt. Oh. I don't know what to do I knew this guy was calling me so I went back to talk to the guy who announces over the system and I said sir I don't know if you realize it or not we can't understand a word you're saying out there. Now you of all people should be able to afford a good clear sound system not what the world is the problem. And I guess it must mean they get really mad because he stood up and looked me right and I and said. Q earth is going to be on the Move Your Money Your money your
home. Here's a thing another tattoo would make a great announcer at the airports. It's just the plane the plane. Is all you need to know really. Because he actually talks like I was in her video shows. I guess I have a friend who has this limousine service and he was driving Hervey around the stop to get something to eat. And Herb told him the story said you know again I don't think you know how many. And it happened to me earlier at the man and I thought. And said yeah that could push down my pants. Sure it'll. Be you. Know. We have a chance to have as much a week to get burned out on Bronson. But I'm not is it me or does that Bronson actually look like a guy sitting on a bicycle.
I mean he took an icicle broke it up Turn it upside down sat on it. Instant Charles Bronson. Hey. Ah. Hey that cold. Looking man many. Looks like that gets women I don't mean just. Watching crime shows are so popular on TV now that you guys must have like a favorite cop show right. And I don't mind as a matter. Hill Street Blues that's a great show and it reminds me a lot of brother. But Bret is one of my favorites. I like him because he's very nonviolent. You never shoot anybody. He prefers to bore people to death.
Your new sister we're going to guy kind of dark anyway instead of arresting the guy who talked about social science or his ideas of life or what his father told him. An older room in heat no Nunu no truly seasonal it just but you made a mistake here in me. You then was declared a slowdown will make mistakes. And as a child this will tell that people do not know that you are on a key run. But I'm watching your every step you take every move you make is a risk you take so much in Europe and there's a name destined. To eat. What.
Up like. I'm going to be drinking one of these and I give them the straws. I do it's very hard to be macho with one of these and see in it like a baby. Maybe after the show we go back to my place. T. I am. Never wants to go. No this is my theory I don't know if it's true or not but I think the reason why we have so many crime shows is because we have so much crime in society so much so now that people actually carry around protection. Do you guys carry protection at all. I am. OK let me let me rephrase that I am because I know women they carry mace and stuff. I carry this I don't know if you can see it which is the main problem with it I think. I am pretty bad.
How about if they can hear me are clean your fingernails can I and. You know there's no way they're going to take me like I'm attacked by a gang of hemophilia at. The end. Oh and it happens a lot done it. What are you. Leader. Camera URL. Nick you. Know it's not often that you're mugged by Russian royalty. Used to be like the main thing was crime shows now it seems to be soap operas are taking over government. Major stars in the show like Elizabeth Taylor. You know to me this is like having cameo as a Richard Burton I leave it to Beaver. Good afternoon Mr. Cleeve. The OAU and the other ages. The earth. The ocean. And we're finding two men are neighbors the cracked is Carolyn. So I
will be grave like Jack Nicholson by the part of Eddie Haskel hasn't come to the door one day. The Mrs Cleaver who moved to. The East. T. Vandar. I wish I could do him in but I gotta tell you this because very few people know how Dylan recently got his style but he was on the force one time singing and his big bushy tree and unbeknown to him were bugs in the tree coming down landing on him as he was singing and that's how he got his dial. Up. Well as you. Say. It does look like a blues rather than too bad as I'm in for anything like the next character I'm going to do.
I always wonder how to break into music I know like people Broken Music by doing commercial jingles. Very Manolo. I wish he'd quit it. But I don't. Think so I don't know if anyone ever broke in the music by doing or changing and what super chicken with a sound like it had been written by Leon Redbone. By a bit of pain. Many people came to me. For me to leave the room you have been through. Together you get big. Do you mean you keep.
Cool. Want to eat. There were no outlet in. The Iraq. A different approach to comedy is sometimes hard to come up with. This next entertainer makes his audience feel warm and happy all over. He's been on the David Letterman show twice and has headlined major comedy clubs both on the west coast ladies and gentlemen please welcome the sedate comedy of the bobcat. Oh it was. Was a success. I
