Peter Cook on Room 101 talking about his hates about the Nationwide advert.

By far my proudest moment in comedy at the time. I'd been on the circuit for two years when I was selected after three rounds of auditions from a nationwide open-call to appear on HBO's Bad Boys of Comedy. Myself and one other comic, K-Dubbs, were the only new comics out of the 72 selected to tape for the show. Out of the 72 that taped only 36 actually aired. Not only did I air, BUT... out of the 36 that aired only about 12 were selected to travel to other cities to promote the upcoming series. I was asked to do so in New Orleans in November, 2004. The show was taped in July, 2004 and premiered in July, 2005.

The Bessie and Beulah Comedy Show www.bessieandbeulah.com There has never been a show like the Bessie & Beulah show! It is one hour of the most raucous, fun interaction since Mama on the Carol Burnett show. Bessie & Beulah have audiences standing, singing, dancing, and howling at their "stress-relievers", everything from movies to money to mothers-in-law. These feisty, malapropping ladies even have the chief executives of companies up on stage doing a rap to Men in Black. The startlingly ending, where Bessie & Beulah transform themselves into the lovely Becky and Katie, always generates delighted gasps of surprise. Becky Baker and Katie Blackburn have been performing the Bessie & Beulah show nationwide for the past 16 years. They have shared the platform with Barbara Bush, Paul Harvey and Dan Quayle in Tennessee, performed for Boeing Corporation engineers in Los Angeles, and taken their audience though an "autobody experience" at the National Auto Body Congress and Exposition in Dallas. Other clients include Chevrolet, Kaiser Permanente, ServiceMaster, Salvation Army, the San Diego District Attorney's office, Teen Challenge, and Executive Women International.

The news lately has been about the film writers guild striking and I wondered whether this would have the same impact on society as the film critics strike that took place over 18 years ago, satire taken from Alexei Sayles Stuff
