JOE BEVILACQUA (JOE BEV) HAS PRODUCED THE FIRST RADIO CARTOON SHOW EVER – CARTOON CARNIVAL!

As the protege of cartoon voice legend Daws Butler (Yogi Bear), the veteran award-winning broadcaster (NPR, XM Radio) Joe Bevilacqua is no stranger to the cartoon world. Joe Bev even co-authored his mentor’s authorized biography, “Daws Butler, Characters Actor”, available at http://www.BearManorMedia.Com.

From Mel Blanc to June Foray, from Disney to Hanna-Barbera, “Cartoon Carnival” is a lively hour of rare and classic cartoon audio, children’s records, cartoon music and sound effects, new radio cartoons, interviews and mini-documentaries about the wonderful world of animation.

Joe Bevilacqua is a veteran radio theater producer and voice actor. He also works on stage and is the winner of the 2012 New York TANYS Award for Excellence in Acting. He has performed at the Improv, Caroline's on Broadway, Catch a Rising Star, the Comic Strip, opened for Uncle Floyd, worked with Al Franken, Shelley Berman, Lewis Black and Rick Overton. Joe has also MC'd shows featuring Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Mahr and Gilbert Gottfried. He has been regularly heard on National Public Radio and Sirius-XM Radio and has produced hundreds of hours of audiobooks. More at http://www.JoeBev.com.

"Joe has also combed through those mounds of audio (if I may mix metaphors) to come up with Volume One of "The Best of Cartoon Carnival." This features Joe's personal interviews, some of whom are no longer around to talk today: Joe Barbera, Leonard Maltin, Bob Clampett, Stan Freberg, Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, Bill Marx, June Foray, Bill Scott, Hoyt Curtin, and Craig Marin. The almost three-hour compilation show also features narration from Doug Young (Doggie Daddy) and Janet Waldo (Judy Jetson), both happily still with us today."

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.

The Art of Audio #4: "Another Fine Mess"

The Joe Bev Experience

The Art of Audio #4

"Another Fine Mess"

Me as Stanley. "I certainly am!"
Listen to me as Stan, Babe & Finn!

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy made some great silent classics. Putting Pants on Phillip was released December 3, 1927 – their first official film. But Stan and Ollie really excelled when sound was added to film. Their distinct voices matched their physical personalities. The jazzy background music matched their comic timing.

Hear the greats talk about their work!

I've been doing my impression of "The Boys" since I was could first talk. As a young child in the early 1960s, I watched Chuck McCann brilliantly pay homage to them on his WPIX and WNEW New York TV shows.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Craig Marin the great Flexitoons creator-puppeteer who, as a mere teenager, got to work with Chuck.

You can hear that interview, plus ones with Mel Blanc, June Foray and many cartoon legends on my new audio release The Best of Cartoon Carnival Volume One.

I'll be on CULT RADIO A-GO-GO THIS Saturday, as "L&H"! Listen to me as "The Boys" here!

TUNE IN LIVE!!!

 

I am also the Vice Sheik and Ballywhosit of the “Them Thar Hills” tent 284 local of The Sons of the Desert, the international Laurel and Hardy appreciation society, located in Ellenville, NY.

In 1987, I created a video tribute (visually) performed by Alison Nead as Oliver Hardy, Ron Willoughby as James Finlayson, and me as Stan Laurel. I am the voice of all three characters. Watch it below!

JOIN US! Our next meeting will be Sunday, December 4th, 2011, at 3:00pm, in Ellenville, N Y. This will be our Holiday Pot-Luck Party and we invite all members to help out by bringing a dish, side, salad or dessert. 

We hope ALL MEMBERS will attend this Grand Buffet! Our film program will feature "Snowy Shorts", beginning with a reprise of Laurel & Hardy's classic two-reeler THE FIXER-UPPERS co-starring the Ever-Popular Mae Busch. Then we'll have Bugs Bunny in FRESH HARE;  A Walter Lantz cartune SKI FOR TWO; W.C. Fields in THE FATAL GLASS OF BEER; and the Tent premiere of Stan and Babe in their Christmas Tree classic BIG BUSINESS. 

 
Guests are welcome! Email me for directions.

My work is not all fun and games, however. I have a serious side too! Don't believe me? Well, then, tune in next time and find out!

Best to you all,

Joe Bev.
