The Comedy-O-Rama Hour
"Camp Waterlogg: When Two Parties Collide"
On this week's Comedy-O-Rama Hour, Sgt. Lefty (Joe Bev) and his girlfriend Olive Pitts (Lorie Kellogg) plan their wedding, which will conflict with the Elderly Dance and Raffle. Meanwhile, Adam Maxwell (Joe Bev) has been arrested, and Andy (Joe Bev) and Lkie (Lorie Kellogg) get a lesson from Sal Pilvers (Joe Bev) on how to sell dance tickets.
The weekly hour is produced by veteran radio theater producer Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev). Bevilacqua maps out the plot of each hour and he and his cast improvise the dialogue and action, not from a studio but in the real world, including the woods of Napanoch, NY.
He beams, "I am very pleased with the direction my radio work has developed."
Also on this week's Comedy-O-Rama, Jim Folly returns as Lil Jimmy and Chef Ron Drysdale, who both have a run in with Stinky (Kenny Savoy) . Savoy and Folly have been doing comedy together since 1979, as part of Liquid Comedy, of which Bevilacqua was also a founding member.
The Comedy-O-Rama is story and character driven improvisation--recorded in and around their Napanoch, NY house in the woods--that goes beyond sketch comedy to blossom into full fledged radio theater. Husband and wife creative team Joe Bev and Lorie Kellogg created the series for XM Radio in 2002. 124 shows and 13 years later, the series is heard weekly on public radio stations nationwide, streamed on the web at bearmanorradio.com, and podcast anytime all over the Internet, including waterlogg.com.
"My two characters really interact a lot in this week's show, so I did a lot of talking to myself!" laughs Bevilacqua, who maps out the plot of each hour and improvises the dialogue, not from a studio but in the real world, including the woods of Napanoch, NY.
"I even cooked beans over my kitchen stove while we recorded this week's story. When we were finished we had both a new hour radio situation comedy AND a pot of cooked beans!"

Joe Bevilacqua, also known as Joe Bev, is primarily known as a radio theater dramatist, but his career has taken him into every aspect of show business, including stage, film, and television, as a producer, director, writer, actor, and even cartoonist. In 1971 his father bought him a cassette recorder, on which he created his first audio story, Willoughby and the Professor, acting all the voices himself at the age of twelve. In 1975 Daws Butler, the voice of Yogi Bear and many other Hanna-Barbera and Jay Ward cartoon characters, dubbed himself Bevilacqua’s personal mentor after hearing a 120-minute cassette of Willoughby improvisations. Since 1980 Bevilacqua has produced many award-winning radio programs for National Public Radio, Sirius-XM Satellite Radio, and others. | HEAR ALL OF OUR PODCASTS IN ONE PLACE! |
