On WMFO 91.5: Joe Wong and Janeane Garofalo

Last month, Joe Wong made his television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman. A lot has happened for Wong since then. He's working on management and new opportunities, and he's been praised by Louis C.K. Friday, he'll be at the Comedy Studio for a special free early show at 6 p.m. to tape a full set.

Tonight, he'll be on Daniella Capolino's show on WMFO.org/91.5 FM talking about his recent run. The show starts at 5PM, and you can listen on the radio at 91.5 or online at wmfo.org.

In case you missed it, here's the Letterman set:



Also, last week, Derek Gerry and Brian Joyce interviewed Janeane Garofalo on Hear It Wow, which broadcasts every Wednesday from 7PM to 9PM. Garofalo played to a full venue Friday, and gave the most energetic performance I have seen from her. She covered everything from politics to pills to her dogs, ending with a great love story about winter flu (it would be tough to communicate how charming the story was, despite the inherent grossness of the effects of winter flu).

Gerry has posted the interview in pieces on the Hear It Wow blog, here. It's as thorough an interview with her as you will hear or read anywhere. Garofalo was enjoying herself, and stretched a bit over an hour before having to leave to catch a comedy show.

I call in to Gerry's show every Wednesday, as well, to talk about what's happening in the local comedy scene. So if you haven't tuned in yet, and you like the Garofalo interview, let that be your introduction. WMFO is very Boston comedy friendly (Billy Bob Neck also hosts a show Monday mornings there from 10-noon), Billy Bob Neck's Hour of Bein' Good, which I realize is actually two hours, but I digress).

Nick live on WMFO's Hear It Wow Tonight at 8PM

I will be once again joining Derek Gerry on his Hear It Wow show tonight on Tufts Radio 91.5 to talk comedy. I'll be phoning in at 8PM with a couple of picks for this weekend and a few Boston Comedy questions. I am told Mr. Tony Moschetto will be in-studio. Hear It Wow starts at 7PM, and you can hear it at 91.5 FM or on www.wmfo.org. I'll be calling in every week at this time.

Also, if you happen to be in Lynn tonight, I'll be calling in from Tatiana's, where the Speak Up spoken word open mic is happening. This week's featured speaker is Jimmy Tingle. You'll be able to identify me as the guy running out the door with his cell phone just before 8PM.
