Fans of A Prairie Home Companion know him as Garrison Keillor's grumbling sidekick Dusty "The Lives of the Cowboys," an array of wise-cracking wise-guys from the mean streets of "Guy Noir, Private Eye," or Jim, the beleaguered husband from A Prairie Home Companion's famously catchup-deprived midlife couple. One minute he's George Bush or Julia Child, Barack Obama or Arnold Schwarzenegger. So here's the fearless Tim Russell in 19 hilarious performances from A Prairie Home Companion, embracing every hairpin turn, crazy curve, or unexpected plot twist a live radio show heard by millions each week can possibly throw at the man of a thousand voices.
On the 12th floor of the Acme Building, on a cold February day in St. Paul, Guy Noir looks down the barrel of a loaded revolver in the hands of geezer gangster Joey Roast Beef who is demanding to hear what lucrative scheme Guy is cooking up with stripper-turned-women's-studies-professor Naomi Fallopian. Everyone wants to know, Joey, Lieutenant McCafferty, reporter Gene Williker, Guy's ex-girlfriend Sugar O'Toole, the despicable Larry B. Larry, the dreamboat Scarlett Anderson, Mr. Kress of the FDA, and Guy faces them one by one, as he and Naomi pursue a dream of earning gazillions by selling a surefire method of dramatic weight loss. In this whirlwind caper Guy looks death in the eye, falls in love, and faces off with the capo del capo del grande primo capo Johnny Banana.
He's big. He's bold. He's brash. And as the new governor of Minnesota, Jimmy (Big Boy) Valente is the most compelling figure to appear on the state and national political landscape in decades.The new King of America Politics (and former UWA World Champion) tells all to best-selling author, public radio show host, and fellow Minnesotan Garrison Keillor in Me: By Jimmy (Big Boy) Valente a brilliant, biting, and wickedly funny send-up of American politics.This is satire at its best, delivered as only Keillor can. Meet the fascinating Big Boy and join in on the wild ride!
