Comedian, Writer, Producer Tommy Moore joins host Rich Stein
The Legendary, Comic, Writer, Producer from Philadelphia joins me for a much anticipated second appearance. Because he is such a fan favorite and an old school gent, I was able to persuade him into ( A TWO PARTER ) telling us stories that chronicle over fifty years in the business of fun, funny and making people laugh.
In this first episode # 38, Tommy regales us of stories that predate the comedy clubs which slowly started appearing in the seventies. Then a comedy boom started across the country in the eighties and by the nineties the clubs started to disappear due to many factors, a few of which there were more comedians competing for less dollars and other socio-economic figures that came into play, which Tommy explains.
Tommy was a local Philly boy, born and bred and while he was never a "made man" in the "Good Fellas" sense, he was street wise and business wise enough to know how to deal with them, as well as all the other myriad club bookers, managers, agents, and wanna be show biz types that one encounters in the always wacky and always changing business of show.
I know you will enjoy this PART ONE episode Of Tommy Moore as he tells tales only like a master story teller can. Ladies and Gents;
