The Comedy-O-Rama Hour
Camp Waterlogg:
Abbott and Costello Meet Ranger Joe
PODCAST: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id572142422
Listeners will be treated to a new Abbott & Costello routine called "Luzon Station" and more when they tune in to The Comedy-O-Rama Hour this week. It is all part of this week's Camp Waterlogg, featuring special guest star Bob Greenberg.

The improvisational radio theater program is written by husband and wife Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev) and Lorie Kellogg and produced and directed by Bevilacqua. During the comedy hour, Ranger Joe goes back in time to 1938 and meets Abbott & Costello--played by Bevilacqua and Greenberg, respectively, in sketches performed and recorded before a live audience. "We tried to capture the high energy of 1938, a time before Abbott & Costello became top Hollywood stars but had just hit it big on the Kate Smith show and had their own show as a summer replacement for Fred Allen," says Joe Bev, who talks to himself playing not only Abbott but Ranger Joe, Sgt. Lefty, Ellis the Boat-keeper, and dozens of other characters on the show. Part two of Abbott and Costello Meet Ranger Joe will air next week and feature a new rendition of Who's on First? Upcoming Comedy-O-Rama guests include Phil Proctor (Firesign Theatre), Julie Newmar (Batman), Stuart Pankin (HBO's Not Necessarily the News), and Judy Tenuta (The Weird Al Show). Past guests have included Al Franken, Lewis Black, Shelley Berman, Rick Overton, Bob Edwards, and Bob Camp. Abbott & Costello in the Catskills is available from Blackstone Audio and Waterlogg Productions: ABBOTT & COSTELLO LINK

Before there was Glenn Miller there was Ray Miller. These are the less artists who helped created jazz as an art form and who first employed Benny Goodman, The Dorsey Brothers and all the legends we now hold in reverence, says Jazz-O-Rama host Joe Bev, who remasters the 78 RPM recordings to bring out their former fidelity.

Akrotiri - Chapter Three of Ancient Rising &
The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes - Episode Two: "My Dinner at Baker Street"

Akrotiri - Chapter Three of Ancient Rising
by JC De La Torre
Produced & directed by Joe Bevilacqua
Narrated by Joe Bevilacqua
Available for sale at http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Rising-The-Audiobook-Experi...
"This audio production of Ancient Rising is touted as a '3-D Audiobook Experience.' I was pretty curious about that; what is a 3-D audiobook anyway? Well, it didn’t take me long to find out. Ancient Rising is performed, and I do mean performed, by long-time theater and radio talent Joe Bevilacqua. Don’t confuse him with other Joe Bevilacqua’s, the name is Joe K Bevilacqua. Joe does great voices for all the characters, and the whole thing is recorded in stereo. The main narration comes through the center channel as usual, but the character voices, along with sound effect enhancements, come from the left or right channels, giving the audiobook a real 3-D feel. With Joe’s voices, the sound enhancements, and the 3-D recording, this is a top-notch audio production. Ancient Rising is a non-stop thrill ride through the world of the ancients. I found De La Torre’s blend of history and mythology to be fascinating and compelling. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this one." - Audiobook-Heaven.com

The Misadventures of Sherlock Holmes
Episode Two: "My Dinner at Baker Street"
Available for sale at: DOWNLOAD THE WHOLE STORY HERE

Quinn; Mrs. Hudson: Jan Meredith; Professor Moriarty: Ed Hyland.
"I wrote this one by hand on a legal pad in 12 hours one day in 1983 when I was visiting Daws Butler. He had dropped me off at LAX and my flight was delayed. I was stuck so I bought a pen and pad and what you hear on this show is exactly what I wrote that day!" explains Joe Bevilacqua.

Joseph K Bevilacqua

New Jersey born Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev) has been producing radio in many genres since 1971 when he was twelve. At 19 in 1980, Bev became the youngest person to produce a radio show for public radio. He co-hosted The Jazz Show with Garret Gega in the early 80s, a four hour a week mix classic jazz and comedy. Bev also worked for WBGO, Jazz 88 in Newark, NJ and produced documentaries for WNYC New York Public Radio on jazz legends including Louis Armstrong, Wynton Marsalis, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Cab Calloway, and Lionel Hampton. Bev is primarily known as a radio theater dramatist. However, 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.

Lorie B Kellogg - Waterlogg Productions Co-Producer

Not content to hide behind his microphone, Bevilacqua will be seen acting in the upcoming feature films: "The Green Blade Rises" directed A.J. Edwards, "The Fly Room" directed by Alexis Gambis, "Cold in July" directed by Jim Mickle, and "Hits" directed by David Cross. He will be seen as British General Bernard Montgomery in the upcoming History Channel WWII miniseries. Joe Bev also tours the NY-NJ area as Bud Abbott to Bob Greenberg's Lou Costello.
