So here's some of my favorites:

- Dare To Be Stupid:



- Money For Nothing (UHF)



- Trapped In The Drive Thru



- Do I Creep You Out?



- Foil:



- Word Crimes:



And here's some awesome sketches featuring Al that rule:

It's time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys. It's time to let the bed bugs bite.





DARE TO BE STUPID!!!!

he is so funny.

Saw him in a small venue a couple of years ago for my husband's birthday. I was stunned. I knew he was talented but I had no idea just how much talent he has and how energetic he is through out a very long show.

He has all my respect. His musicianship far surpasses his comedy and his comedy is superior.
