DAVE BARTLETT

 This is an album of professional clowns telling the jokes they use in performance. You get to hear the joke and how they tell it. The set up is 13 clowns locked in a room with a tape recorder. They are pretty good about taking turns and they are always trying to top the last joke.

 While lots of the jokes are old, they are all being successfully used in performance. As you will hear, it1s presentation that makes the jokes work.. The CD ends with a discussion about presentation and how different characters choose and present jokes that work for them.

 When you think about adding entertainment to what you do, telling jokes, or a series of jokes is sure-fire. Even a written list of jokes can be funny, you just need to figure out how your character can tell them to get the best response. Here1s 13 very different characters telling a wide variety of jokes. Any jokester will find it inspiring. I really like it.

 The Clowns include: David Bartlett, Ross Champion, Margaret Clauder, Carol Crooks, Denise Hall, Suzy Hammer, Lori Hurley, Mark Hurley, Susan Keys, Marcela Murad, Kevie Penny, Jody Rushman, and Sandy Snay.
