The Joe Bev 3-Hour Block Returns to Cult Radio A-Go-Go! with New Comedy, Jazz and Documentary


NEW "Camp Waterlogg" on The Comedy-O-Rama Hour, weekly unscripted radio theater with Joe Bev, Lorie Kellogg, Jim Folly and Kenny Savoy, streamed Saturdays, 2:30 pm ET, 11:30 am PT at cultradioagogo.com


Napanoch, New York is a-buzz with sounds. Chickens cluck. A woodpecker drums a hallow stump. Water drips off the porch into an ice-covered trough. Joe Bev captures them. 





The veteran award-winning radio producer, along with his merry band of voice actors, traverse the woods of Camp Waterlogg, his real-life rustic Catskills home, which doubles as the backdrop for the fictional kids camp.

It is all part of "The Comedy-O-Rama Hour" which premieres new shows every Saturday at 2:30 pm ET, 11:30 pm PT on Internet Radio Powerhouse Cult Radio A-Go-Go! (http://www.cultradioagogo.com)

In real life and in the fiction of the radio theater, Joe Bevilacqua (that's his full name) asks his actors to climb trees, run through the snow, dance by waterfalls, all while ad-libbing complicated story-lines and portraying multiple characters.

CULT RADIO A GO GO!
Joe Bev himself voices Sgt. Lefty, Ellis the Boatkeeper, Lil Andy, Adam Maxwell, Woody, Sal Pilvers, and many others. More impressive is Bev's ability to play all these characters in one scene all at once, moving around the stereo landscape captured by his SONY IC Recorder.

"If I improvise Ellis and Lefty talking to each other, I might speak as Ellis on the left and as Sgt. Lefty on the right. This really completes the illusion that it is really two actors talking," reveals Bevilacqua.

In this week's opening scene, the character Olive Pitts is taking a bath, the Lorie Kellogg, the actress playing Olive, performed the scene IN the bathtub. Kellogg also voices Elise, Mrs. Terwilliger, Lkie, other characters.

"We have replaced recording radio theater in a cold studio, on a stationary microphone with a sound effect table with something more alive," adds Bev.

The result is a free-wheeling comedy that is also a sitcom and a radio theater.

On this Saturday's Comedy-O-Rama, entitled "Marriage Fever Hits Camp Waterlogg," Sgt. Lefty and Olive Pitts plan for their Valentine's day wedding, which conflicts with the "elderly Dance & Raffle" being held by Sal Pilvers (Joe Bev). Meanwhile, Luigi (Kenny Savoy) and Marcello (Jim Folly) arrive at the dance two weeks early.

It was announce on February 27 that Blackstone Audio, Inc., has entered into partnership with Joe Bev's Waterlogg Productions to providing its award-winning audiobooks to a wider audience.
