Favoriting June 20, 2014: People Talking #1: Monologists

Listen to this show: Pop-up listen Pop-up player!

Artist Track Album Label Year Format Comments Images
Intro            In which I attempt to justify everything. 
Favoriting
Ruth Draper  A Boston Matron At An Art Exhibition (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Selected Monologues  BMG    CD  One of the first monologue artists, one of the best. Everyone else in this show owes her, big time. Both Patricia Norcia and Annette Benning have revived her works onstage. Wikipedia 
Favoriting
Joyce Grenfell  Shirley's Girlfriend (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Joyce Grenfell Requests The Pleasure  DRG/Polydor    LP  Monologist, singer, actress. Don't sleep on the film "The Belles Of St. Trinian's" with Grenfell, staring Alastair Sim. B&W hilarity from postwar Britain. 
Favoriting
Lord Buckley  The Hip Einie (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting A Most Immaculately Hip Aristocrat  Enigma Retro    CD  A treasure, to be sure. There's a great bio by Oliver Trager

Mumbling 

 
Spalding Gray (r.i.p.)  Monster In A Box (Excerpt) (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Monster In A Box  Gang Of Seven  1992  CD  One of the best-known downtown NYC monologists.  
Favoriting
Laurie Anderson  Night Flight From Houston (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting The Ugly One With The Jewels And Other Stories  Warner Bros.    CD  Another of the very well-known and ridiculously talented people to emerge from the downtown NYC arts scene. 
Favoriting
Laurie Anderson  The Rotowhirl (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting The Ugly One With The Jewels And Other Stories  Warner Bros.    CD  And she used to work with Andy Kaufman, too.   
Eric Bogosian  WXTC/Retarded Ernie from Voices Of America (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Eric Bogosian  Neutral Records    Vinyl  And another of the downtown stars. Perhaps not quite so well known as Gray or Anderson, excellent on stage, also works in films and voiceovers. 
Favoriting
Eric Bogosian  X-Blow (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll  SBK Records    CD  Some mighty powerful business up in here.

Stein gasses on about something or other 

 
Anna Deavere Smith  Al Sharpton #1 (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Fires In The Mirror      MP3  Well worth running this down on youtube ; her portrayal of the characters is stunning. Wikipedia 
Favoriting
John Leguizamo  Manny The Fanny (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Mambo Mouth      MP3  As I recall, this really did premiere in the hallway of the American Place Theater. It was great. Now he's out of the hallway and on Broadway (or just off), and in films. Check him out on youtube. Wikipedia 
Favoriting
Whoopi Goldberg  The Old Raisin (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting Whhopi Goldberg Direct From Broadway (1985)      MP3  This show was excellent. This piece didn't make it to the original performance recording. I always suspected it was because the ending was kinda blah, but who knows. Reading an interview with Mike Nichols (who directed the show), I found out about Ruth Draper. Wikipedia

Favoriting
Danny Weizmann  The Wet Dog Shakes (Listen: Pop-up)   Favoriting The Wet Dog Shakes  New Alliance Records    CD  Finally - an opportunity to play this without editing. "Moses knew what time it was; Aaron told the people." Excellent performance, excellent writing, hilarious. website

The Ruth Draper Wikipedia link needs to be fixed.
  12:43pm
pq ribber:

Without Jean Shepherd in this group, it is woefully incomplete. Some pretty weak links, as well. Some greats, here, but a bunch of entries that seem to be here out of 'political correctiness'

The link to the Ruth Draper Wikipedia page looks broken because of the trailing '/'. It should be: en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:25pm
fred:

Same goes for Lord Buckley, the final '/' should not be there, the link should be en.wikipedia.org...
I'm guessing it's intentional by now, with comments blocked
  7:09pm
Steinski:

Hey y'all - thanks for the heads up on the Draper and Buckley links, I think they're fixed now.
