Steve Kay's Variety Show.

Hello all, Thank you for tuning in. This is just a piggy back on the most recent episode in which I lamented on not getting 5 minutes stage time at the same open mic on two occasions,  and how I told you all I was done doing open mics in my current region. Well, a little car ride to Home Depot and some time to think gave me a change of mind. I have not thrown in the towel to doing comedy in m...

Good morning listeners, How is everybody's Tuesday going so far? This is the final in the open mic blog series of winter 2023.  I am not done doing comedy, I just will not be doing live open mics in my region anymore. The region is giving me a message that I do not belong here.  And so, I take the message, and seek doors that are opened to me, not doors half shut  or closed. Its all...

Good evening listerners, I hope that you will join me as I ponder the joys of eating a raw burrito, which I am as I write this post de facto. But, in addition, we shall discuss the shortage of egg foo young in the morning. Because.................Chinese food is good for you, early in the morning.

Hello all, Just keeping my comedy chops sharp.  Not getting to the open mics much this week, life gets in the way sometimes. I just will not let it make me detour for years as I have had in the past, we only have today.  Let's live our lives for today, as best as we can. Make the changes that we can today. Open new doors to new possiblities Take chances Prioritize what is safe, sane, and...

Good afternoon all, I hope everyone is having a happy Thursday. In ths episode, I relate to you my experiences last night at an open mic which was at an art gallery.

Hello one Hello All This is a continuation of the open mic blog series. Earlier tonight, I went to a great mic, what a great vibe in the room. Was a basement mic, all the better, I love that now. I did not get to go up on stage but it's all good. I got to drink a couple, and make new friends, and support the performers as an audience members. In addition I got to know the MC's and they advised me...

Good afternoon listeners, I hope all is well with each and every one of you. On the spur of a moment, I made impromptu, almost cemented decision to attend a comedy open mic tonight. And so, to break up the monotony a little, I am doing a pre-mic blog with my thoughts and feelings before the mic, rather than a post mic summary. Of course, after the show, I will be sure to follow up with a post mic...

Good evening all, I hope that everyone has been having a good weekend so far. And wishing everyone a great MLK Day in honor of the late Dr. King.

Good evening all, Anyone out there thinking about starting their own podcast? I do not know too much about it, as I am new to the game but I can share a little bit from my almost two years of experience as a podcaster. First of all, I just want to make an ammendment, I may not go back to being an interview podcast, hear the episode and you will hear why. But anyway, just want to give newbies a pep...

Good afternoon listeners, Thank you all for listening to my previous episode on Darrell Brooks Case. I saw so many views that I felt compelled to produce a follow up segment since there is this new development on Wednesday 10-25-22. The outcome Mr. Brooks found guilty on several counts of homicide  plus battery and bail jumping. If he were in NY we would say that "he is going up the river" Ne...

Good afternoon all, First off, a big shout out, a "mighty wave of the hand"  to all the amateur radio operators out there.

And that is why I want to share this hobby with all of you out there, and to all the hams who checked out my recent episodes, thank you so much, it really mean...

Hello listeners, We are taking votes here. What is your favorite type of Smartphone device?  Do you prefer an I phone or an Android? In my opinion, the verdict is split, I meet die hards of both genres in my travels.  But I still want to have a dialogue about it, possibly hear from others, and just hear some feedback on pros and cons of either device. I have used both,  you will hea...

Good afternoon all, In this episode we explore the current trend of elevating crime and violence within the subway system.  As I mention, I am not familiar with what is going on globally, however I do know what is going on in NYC and it is not good. It has leaders baffled and bewildered. How did we get here? What can we do to solve it?  The problem did not manifest itself overnight, and...

Good morning all, I start off the this Monday but talking about a horrific crime that took place about a year ago in Michigan, that of the Ethan Crumbley case in which 4 children were murdered in a  High School. In no way to I glorify these cases and I wish these crimes never happened. Nevertheless, they do and we continue to have these situations, so I am having a conversation about some of...

Good evening all, Thank you for tuning in, as I share my 6th day of not embibing in alcoholic beverages. My reason being that my body can not currently metabolize it, it is just causing me to become more bloated, tired, and out of shape.  In trying to regain my youthful physique, I find that the old ways of losing weight no longer work, the Superman days of fasting all day and then having a l...

Good evening all, As we approach the midnight hour, I am burning the podcast oil. Harping on a favorite pet peeve of mine...................the people on the road, or as  I call them "The People of the Earth" who want to go faster, and want you to get out of their way or speed up, so you can all flip over your cars and collide together. I have been on both sides, at my leisure driving with pe...

Good evening all! In this episode I unveil or reveal, admit to, concede, acknowledge, my own egotism and how......if unchecked and unfiltered, can actually cause me more harm than good. True, one must have confidence in one self and believe in one self, but that must be combined with humility, patience, perserverance, and limited expectations of how others will receive you. As a wanna be stand up...
