Look! It's Lisa Bonet!

Isn't She Lovely? Lisa Bonet

While surfing the Internet I came across this photo of Lisa Bonet on the set of Girls in New York.

This brings back a lot of memories for me because I've always thought Lisa was so  beautiful and intriguing.

Although best known for her role of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show and A Different World.

My favorite Bonet moment will be her as Epiphany Proudfoot in Alan Parker's Angel Heart.

The film brought out a whole new side to her that was closer to who she is in my opinion than Denise  Huxtable ever was.

It also included a blood soaked sex scene with Mickey Rourke, the nudity and sexual content drew the ire of her TV Father Bill Cosby.Which eventually led to a falling out. Go figure that one...

Glad to see you working Lisa!

Spencer James Please "Don't Shake A Baby"

Spencer James "Don't Shake A Baby"  available digitally on November 4th It's Martin and Lewis, with a little dash of Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. mixed in.  James blends both music and dance into his stand-up for a show that's  both anti "jobs" and yet pro "fat kids." Yeah it's Sunday, November 2nd that calls for a martini.

Spencer James's comedy career started very early on. At eleven years old, he was the fat kid always getting picked on by school bullies and being ignored by every girl around. An army brat who moved frequently throughout the US as well as internationally, he used stand-up to provide comic relief. 

James has entertained audiences all over the country. He was the Winner of the 2014 World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Nevada and  "Best of the Fest" at the 2014 Burbank Comedy Festival. He was also recently seen on the Fox television show "Laughs".

A sort of "personal reveal", his comedy reflects a variety of influences - Bill Cosby's storytelling; Mitch Hedberg's one liners; Richard Pryor's vulnerability. He admires Bill Hicks, Bill Burr and Christopher Titus for the openness they all share. His comedy gives us his unique perspective on those things in life that he finds funny or weird - stuff like guys in wheelchairs buying ladders at Home Depot.

He discusses his warped reactions to first time relationships. No longer the "fat kid", he continues to feel its influence on his life and uses it to fuel his comedy.

Currently residing in Denver, CO, where beautiful women abound, he still finds it difficult to relate to them and this provides an endless stream of comic opportunities.
