Dying is easy! COMEDY is difficult! (forgot who said that – maybe someone could write in and tell me). These people – from the Offramp series – pull it off – they’re genuinely funny -- in that sort of National Lampoon Radio Dinner throw-away low key manner. To better assess this piece, I listened to some others in the series – which comes in half-hours or drop-in’s. I’m glad to attest that the group is consistently good – with a folksy character that manages to be downright sophisticated – quintessentially American. Their kind of gentle, throwaway touch is so delicate –(plus it’s improvised - they’re very talented and/or nicely, invisibly edited because they rarely misstep) – that I think they need to get in and out after 3, 4 or 5 minutes. Many of their routines – like this one about a call-in veterinary program – are radio “trompe d’ear” (like Bob and Ray and Firesign and others who have used the radio context as their palette) – so I think it’s best just inserted into the real context. If you have a half-hour of these guys all strung together (and I listened to one of the half-hour offerings as well) you have a very decent show, but you lose that, “wait, what’s this, oh, it’s those guys again!” And it SHOULD be them again. I heartily recommend the drop-in’s to stations that can. Then – once they have their following built on air (which they seem to have on their own station in Florida), then half-hours or even hours of “Best of” would go over nicely. Perhaps Offramp should provide a fund-raising special.
