Gallagher Interview

 

Three days ago I interviewed Gallagher for my upcoming Las Vegas Weekly story on prop comedy. We chatted for about 45 minutes, about comedy, prop comedy, linguistics, the French, watermelons, etc.... He and Carrot Top both have this deep understanding of why their acts work, and deep understanding of their audiences...hope I can make that much clear in the story. Stay tuned.







Prop Comedy Story, The Early Stages

 

I'm working on a story about Prop Comedy for Las Vegas Weekly. Interviewed Carrot Top yesterday and going to chat with Gallagher today. Carrot Top was great, by the way. I got the sense that he really liked talking about comedy and about his act, which was refreshing. Odd: my two favorite jokes in the show weren't prop bits. Here's one of them: "My 96-year-old grandmother was here at the show last month. We bring her here twice a year. Okay, actually just once a year, but we tell her twice a year."





Are you going to use my bit

Are you going to use my bit from the olden days that I never got to perform?
Tell the audience "Ok, I'm going to do a little prop comedy for you guys now. Does anybody have a glass of water?" Accept someone's glass of water and drink it, then say "Ok, does anybody have any props?"
The only problem would be if and when you got incredibly popular because of this bit, you'd have to use it so often that you'd eventually get herpes.
