FOR THE
JOKES
OF
THE DAY!
For
20 years, Pat Reeder & Laura Ainsworth's
Comedy Wire was the secret
weapon of top-rated, award-winning
radio DJs and talk show
hosts worldwide!
But as of March 31, 2012, the Comedy Wire ceased publication
because Pat & Laura were hired as the news/comedy writing
staff for Cumulus Media's smash new national talk show, "The Mike
Huckabee Show."
HOWEVER...If you loved the sharp topical one-liners
that made radio clients compare the Comedy Wire to the Daily
Show, Jay Leno and Dennis Miller, you can still get a daily
dose of them! We continue to contribute lines every day
to the Daily Comedy Exclusive, the excellent prep service
owned by radio/comedy team Ron Stevens & Joy Grdnic!
Ron and Joy are longtime friends of ours, and they will be
happy to provide you with a free trial of their DCE radio prep
service! Just email Ron Stevens at ronstevens@allstarradio.com
Tell him Pat & Laura sent you! He'll cut you a great
deal!

CURRENT PROJECTS
In addition to their daily writing
for the Mike Huckabee
Show and the Daily Comedy Exclusive, Pat &
Laura have several other projects we know you'll enjoy,
from music to books to live performances! Check them
out below...
LAURA'S
SMASH DEBUT ALBUM!
Laura
Ainsworth's
terrific debut CD, "Keep It To Yourself," is now available
at CDBaby,
iTunes
and other top music sites. Produced and arranged by 2011 Dallas Jazz Musician of
the Year, Brian Piper, it features great songs from
the 1920s to today, with fresh twists on standards and
obscure gems. Multiple
tracks are being played on stations as far away as France,
Australia and Buenos Aires, landing the album on JazzWeek's top radio
airplay chart. Female listeners especially love the
sexy, slinky, insanely catchy title track, with its
hilarious and timely female revenge fantasy lyric about a
cheating ex, the perfect antidote to the endless parade of
cheating men in the news, from TIger to Arnold!
Music critics are also falling in love with Laura's gorgeous,
nearly-three-octave voice, supported by some of the best
jazz musicians in the Southwest!
Reviewers have called the album "spectacular," "elegant,"
"sublime" and "a unique gem."
And the lead CD review of the January "Vocalists" issue of Jazz Inside magazine
raved that you can keep all those pop divas like Beyonce,
Mariah and Lady Gaga, "the only one for me is Laura
Ainsworth...Ainsworth has beauty, brains,
sophistication and comic timing that make her the
total performance package...A wonderful modern
interpreter of the Great American Songbook, as well
as thoroughly modern styles."

Comedy Wire Books!
Pat and Laura have written several fun books
that make great gifts or
excellent resources for public speakers in search of some humorous anecdotes and sharp
one-liners.
Their "reverse self-help" book, Nine
Hallmarks of Highly Incompetent Losers, uses over 200
hilarious Comedy Wire stories to illustrate nine basic mistakes
made by everyone from
dumb criminals to corporate CEOs and goverment
leaders. It includes a very
funny Foreword by Presidential candidate and former Arkansas
Gov. Mike Huckabee.
Autographed copies can be purchased for
just $13 (includes S&H) by clicking on the PayPal button:
Nine Hallmarks of Highly
Incompetent Losers is wonderful -- It's like
eating really delicious candy. You just can't stop
because you know the next bit is going to be just as
satisfying."
