Audiobook Review: 

The Laugh Makers

by Bob Mills

Feb 7, 2012 

by Andy Howells

Gag writer Bob Mills recalls three decades of working with comedian Bob Hope giving a rare insight into the comic legend's career via anecdotes and jokes.

BUY ONLINE  ON AMAZON.com

For over two decades writer Bob Mills wrote scripts, gags and one-liners for film star and comedian, Bob Hope. Mills worked as part of a team of gag writers for the legendary comic and ultimately gained credits on no less than 85 television Specials.

Mills recalls these times in an audio reading of his book The Laugh Makers going behind the scenes of Bob Hope's famous TV specials, recounting stories of fellow gag writers and a cavalcade of legendary guest stars

including George Burns, Milton Berle, Lucille Ball, Danny Thomas, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

The Laugh Makers Recalls Legendary Comic 

Bob Hope With Affection

Bob Mills spirited reading of The Laugh Makers recalls decades worth of anecdotes with fun, enthusiasm and affection supplemented in many places with some of the classic material he and other writers wrote for Bob Hope during the 70s, 80s and 90s.

Hope was one of the last true performers of the Vaudeville era and his professionalism and keenness to deliver a perfect show comes across in The Laugh Makers. On one occasion; Bob Mills recalls a comedy sketch that had to be remounted when it was noticed at playback the naval officers featured were wearing the wrong insignia on their uniforms.

Another anecdote relates to the first moon landing in 1969. Keen to get a few jokes in about the historic event, Hope called the TV studio to have the pre- recorded TV special paused to enable him to insert a few gags relevant to the moon landing live on air - a precarious scenario even for 1969 - but one that subsequently worked.

Travel On The Road To Laughter With Bob Hope 

and Bob Mills In The Laugh Makers

The Laugh Makers is far from an expose on Bob Hope, if anything it reflects the star in a very good light, as someone who worked extremely hard to deliver comedy to his audience conducting his work in a fun but professional manner.

Even though The Laugh Makers reflects the latter decades of Hope's career, Bob Mills also recalls comical stories from Hope's wartime Hollywood career including a few teasing glimpses of his days working alongside Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour on theRoad movies.

Bob Mills also recounts his own personal road to laughter as an up and coming script-writer which included an early encounter with Bob Hope in the 1950s, decades before he would write for him. These personal accounts never detract from the ongoing story and serve to create a broader and even more personalised account of events.

Download Laugh Makers Audiobook 

From The Joe Bev Experience

The Laugh Makers provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the writers who wrote for Bob Hope and a revealing insight into the legend himself. Running for approximately 11 hours and 24 minutes, The Laugh Makers is available as a download along with many other exciting and original audio titles from the Joe Bev Experience.

The Laugh Makers is a fabulous tribute to the legendary Bob Hope and his script-writing team and is an essential document of comedy history which leaves the listener recalling the sentiments of Bob Hope's signature tune "Thanks for the Memory" and we are!

Ancient Rising:
The 3D Audiobook Experience 

"I really, really like the additional sound effects in the background. It's the first time I've encountered an audiobook which utilized this kind of creative license. If I am to make an analogy of this technique to cinematography, I would say that this is 3D technique in audiobook as 3D is to movies. And it brought a richness to the audiobook listening experience which I never had in other plain or '2D' audiobooks I'd listened to thus far. It really is wonderful listening to this audiobook. I enjoyed the 3D audiobook experience and wish the author and narrator would produce the rest of the books in the series."

The Return of
" The Comedy-O-Rama Hour"!

In 2002, Steve Karesh--then program director for XM Satellite Radio's Sonic Theater Channel--asked me to develop a new radio theater show based on Comedyorama.com the comedy tribute website my wife and had developed. Thus, The Comedy-O-Rama Hour was born. 

Comedy-O-Rama Got Great Reviews!
Read more!!

I immediately brought in all my characters, of course, the ones I have been doing all my life--Willoughby and the Professor, Oldtime Radio Parodies, "booby" Sherlock Holmes and "the lot".


By the second season in 2003, new characters were added--Daws Butler's Uncle Dunkle, Mitchell Pearson's Adventures of Teaman, Crunch Frog, Offramp, Permafrost MN, and others.

Me with my multi-talented wife Lorie Kellogg.
Check out our great reviews!

In 2004, my old Liquid Comedy buddies joined us for a series of specials. Just as the series was based on our website, we created a new segment called Camp Waterlogg, based on our own funky cabin in the woods of Napanoch, NY. In fact, together with Kenny Savoy,we improvised most of The Comedy-O-Rama Fourth of July Special in those very woods!


Two new characters I completely improvised that day was one-armed Sgt. Lefty and "fraidy-cat" Ellis the Boatkeeper, characters I have continued to do on my Cartoon Carnival radio show.

Listen to the audio of the first time I ad-libbed Sgt. Lefty--
with Lorie Kellogg & Kenny Savoy ... set to puppets!

More Camp Waterlogg specials followed and celebrities, including Lewis Black, Shelley Berman and Al Franken, began making appearances on our show. By 2005, we added NEW stories using oldtime radio characters, such as Fibber McGee & Molly, Duffy's Tavern, Our Miss Brooks and others.

New Oldtime Radio on
The Comedy-O-Rama Hour

We prepared for a sixth season of The Comedy-O-Rama Hour with a big name comedian (I cannot say who, sorry!) signed on as the new host. This comedian was also going to be the voice of Jack Benny in new sketches!


Plans were scuttled with the merger of XM with Sirius Satellite Radio. Our show was cancelled in July of 2007. I went on to many other successful projects.


Last year, I appeared as a guest on Cult-Radio-A-Go-Go! and it went so well, the station asked me to do a new weekly show for them.


And so I am happy to announce The all NEW Comedy-O-Rama Hour will premiere on Cult-Radio-A-Go-Go! Saturday, March 31 from noon to 1pm (Eastern time)!

Shelley Berman guest starred on
The Comedy-O-Rama Hour in 2005

We'll begin with further improvised woodsy adventures of Sgt. Lefty and the gang with "Camp Waterlogg-A-Go-Go!," plus... new performances of Vaudeville classics such as Abbott & Costello's "Who's On First?" and Burns & Allen's "Lampchops", new stories of The Great Gildersleeve, My Friend Irma and more, in front of a live audience, and a lot more celebrity guest stars improvising with us!  



If you are as excited about this as I am... tune in next time to find out more!

Best to you all,

"The Game is a-foot!"
or "Your show is undone"

I recently remastered (from the original master tapes) The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, my ten-part series of half-hour radio theater, paying homage to the characters of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. You can buy the series on Amazon, iTunes, and Audible for Kindle, Blackberry, Android, iPhone, iPod or iPad download, or CD purchase or rental.

Get The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes

In episode one: "The Mystery of the Creepy Hack Writer," Holmes is 28-year old beggar on Baker Street when Doctor John H. Watson, MD, takes him into his lodgings at 221 Baker Street, London, much to the dismay of Watson's Irish landlady, Mrs. Hudson. Soon, Holmes is thrust into his very case when they are visited by three mysterious men. Who is the creepy hack writer? You will have to listen, to find out!! 

Vernon Morris played Sherlock Holmes

I was inspired to create this radio series, first from reading Conan Doyle's stories. I tried to fill the scripts with sly references to the original "Canon," as it s called. Even the Baker Street Irregulars and other Holmesian groups and scholars have enjoyed this about my series. 

Me with Daws Butler

My second inspiration was Daws Butler, the great voice actor and my mentor. In 1976, Daws wrote a script called "Sherlock Holmes in Trouble," which portrayed Holmes as a booby and Watson as a selfish intellectual using Holmes. It led to several other scripts some if which were produced, including "This Here is Your Life, Sherlock Holmes," written and performed by Daws and his acting workshop. 

The third inspiration came when I met a group of actors I met in the summer of 1982. I was acting in an Off-Broadway play, "Spider's Web" by Lucille Fletcher, author of the great radio play. "Sorry, Wrong Number." I was the mysterious Butler (I didn't do it.) and the cast was rounded out by Brit Vernon Morris, and an American cast of wonderful actors I grew to love over the months we performed for the Meat & Potatoes Company, with no air condition! 

The cast of The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes

My parody of a Holmes
Sidney Paget  illustration.

All the characters in "Spider's Web" had their Holmesian counterparts. I quickly decided to write a ten-part radio drama series, built around the first Daws Butler script, which eventually served as episode three in th plot arc of my series, starring this cast. The Misadentures of Sherlock Holmes premiered in October 1983 on WBAI and ran through 1985. By the time, we were finished, we had ten great, inspired half-hours. 


I later discovered that Ellery Queen had published an anthology of parodies in 1944 also called The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes, and another of the same title edited by Sebastian Wolfe in 1990-91. 

They have since played on public radio stations across the United States, in Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand. Mostly, recently, they aired on XM Radio, since 2003. Vernon Morris was an amazing Holmes, playing him more like Stan Laurel than Basil Rathbone. Henry J. Quinn, though not English, played his Watson as a pompous, lying egotist, the opposite of the Nigel Bruce booby interpretation of the character from the 1940s movies. Henry was a retired FBI agent, who took up acting late and was often seen in sketches on David Letterman. The late Jan Meredith of North Carolina was the nutty but jovial Mrs. Hudson, played as an Irish woman. English actress Gwendolyn Lewis played Holmes's secret love, Irene Adler, as a sexy tone-deaf tart who dreamed of being an opera singer.

The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes by Joe Bevilacqua (Audiobook Review)Audiobook Reviews from Audiobook-Heaven 

Title: The Misadventures of Sherlock HolmesSeries: The Comedy-O-Rama HourAuthor: Joe BevilacquaNarrator: Full castCopyright: 2011, Waterlogg ProductionsDuration: 4 hours, 56 minutesGenres: humor, radio productionFiled in: Audiobook Reviews 

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW: Fans of the legendary figure of Sherlock Holmes are sure to get a kick out of this. Arthur Conan Doyle spent many years recounting the adventures of the world’s greatest detective, but now the truth is revealed. In these dramatic and hilarious episodes, we find an aging Dr. Watson, finally setting the record straight in the form of his personal journal.

In episode 1, The Mystery of the Creepy Hack Writer, we learn that Sherlock Holmes was a beggar on the streets when Dr. Watson took pity and invited him to stay at his flat on Baker Street. Furthermore, it is revealed that Holmes is little more than a bumbling fool who couldn’t solve his way out of a wet paper bag. Presently, Watson is approached by a hack writer by the name of Arthur Conan Doyle who strikes a deal with Watson. They will co-write a series of detective stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. Of course no one will want to read about a blithering idiot, so they will make Holmes out to be a master of deductive reasoning. 

And so, the legend of Sheer-luck, er I mean Sherlock Holmes begins. As recounted in later episodes, Doyle and Watson’s gimmick is a tremendous success, and the books sell like onion buns. That’s a rather obscure reference, I know, but if you listen to these episodes, you’ll understand.

Of course, you can’t have Sherlock without the nefarious Professor Moriarty. That would be like pickled rhubarb without the toast. Forgive me, another obscure reference. In episode 2, My Dinner at Baker Street, we learn how the two really met, as the foes sit down to dinner. Maybe it was the food that set them off. The landlady, Miss Hudson, served beef brisket and plums, artichoke pudding (she used all the plums in the brisket), a vegetable dish of carrots in mustard and ice cream sauce, and for dessert (you guessed it) pickled rhubarb on milk toast. This was a funny episode as you can imagine. After dinner, Holmes and Moriarty engage in a sword fight, before which Moriarty has to show Holmes how to hold the sword correctly. I got plenty of laughs from this one.

And that’s only the beginning. This volume includes ten episodes in all, explaining in great detail the truth behind the myth. Other episodes include:Sherlock Holmes in Trouble, A Study in Lavendar, The Death of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, The Giant Rat of Sumatra, Tales from the Vienna Wards, His Second to Last Bow, Revenge of the Bee Keeper, and Holmes’ Creepy Christmas.These full cast audio productions include the voice talents of Vernon Morris as Sherlock Holmes, Henry J Quinn as Dr. John Watson, Jan Meredith as Miss Hudson, Ed Hyland as Professor Moriarty, and William Gillette as Arthur Conan Doyle. Other voice artists include Terry Price, Gwendolyn Lewis, B H Barry, and Joe Bevilacqua. Don’t worry if you aren’t familiar with these names, their voice characterizations are as good as any you’ll hear.

Like I said, fans of Sherlock will get a real kick out of these comedies. Personally, I’m not very familiar with Holmes, but I got a kick out of these anyway. The humor is sometimes campy and sometimes rather clever and subtle. And the acting and sound effects are of the highest quality. Give this a try, you won’t be disappointed.

A review from an Audible.com listener: Craig, Williamsport, MD, United States "Roll Over Doyle" - If the Holmesian canon is sacred to you - avoid this book. If, however, you want a good, sarcastic, ironic, well written AND even say silly pastiche, this is your baby. Nothing is sacred - not even the ideas brought forth from the authors themselves. A right jolly romp. BTW The Giant Rat of Sumatra is finally unhinged - as it were.
