Barry Crimmins- Blues in the Key Of W Now Available!

Crimmins Knocks One Out Of The Park With New Recording

Satirist/Author Cites “Profane Times”, Skewers Bush, Rumsfield, SUV’s

Political Satirist and author Barry Crimmins has long said that when he picks up his telephone to make a call, “I hear men cooking”.

Like the Babe pointing to centerfield, Crimmins took the stage last Saturday evening (13 May) at Jimmy Tingle’s Off Broadway Theatre in Somerville, Massachusetts and proceeded over the next two hours to give a brilliant and emphatic demonstration on the art of satire.

Much of Crimmins’s set that evening was improvised, or written mere hours earlier, riffing on the bizarre week of an ill-fated book deal, as well as the inane policies of the Bush Administration, which, according to Crimmins, contributed to a SUV suicide.

Patton Oswalt, star of The Comedians and Comedy and CBS's “The King Of Queens” said that "It's depressing listening to such concise, hilarious, wicked and pissy political brilliance from a man who will be too feeble for the labor camps in 2008."

Louis C.K., star and creator of HBO's next big hit "Lucky Louie" offered "I haven't laughed so hard at a comedy recording since Richard Pryor's first album. Seriously, Crimmins is a classic ...”

And, near the end of the set, Crimmins was joined onstage by folk signer extraordinaire Bill Morrissey and theatre owner, comic and former 60-Minutes II pundit, Jimmy Tingle, for the debut of the Crimmins-penned tune “Blues In The Key of W”

Crimmins was the founder of The Ding Ho, legendary comedy club in Inman Square, Cambridge, MA, and is currently writing for Air America Radio’s Randi Rhodes Show. In 2004, Seven Stores Press published Barry's first book, "Never Shake Hands with a War Criminal" and Barry's writing appears frequently in 'The Boston Phoenix' and the 'Cleveland Plain-Dealer'.

Last October, Crimmins appeared with Kurt Vonnegut, Paul Krassner, Art Buchwald, Lewis Lapham and Sarah Jones for an evening of “Political Satire In America”, that was broadcast by CSPAN
