Special Guest Host JOE GARDEN

HI THERE!


Here he is, our special guest host...



JOE GARDEN




Prepare yourself for strong feelings of inadequacy.  I'm about to tell you all about Joe Garden.

Garden worked as the features editor at The Onion -- this means American Voices, Stat Shots, Infographics, etc.  He began writing at the paper in 1993; also co-authoring several Onion books, and creating characters such as Jim Anchower and Jackie Harvey.  If you have questions about the paper (and want to laugh) I suggest this interview with Garden and Megan Ganz.  

With his comedy writing collective, Action 5, Garden has written three books.  The Dangerous Book For Dogs, The Devious Book For Cats and The New Vampire's Handbook: A Guide for the Recently Turned Creature of the Night, all available for purchase.  Get 'em in time for the show!  

Outside of writing, Garden voiced Phil Cabinet on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.  Played the character Dennis in the critically-acclaimed film Big Fan alongside Patton Oswalt, and appeared in the comedy star-studded documentary The Aristocrats.  This year, Garden directed Ryan Williams' Stand-Up Showcase for The Untitled Webseries That Morgan Evans Is Doing.

If you'd like to enjoy Garden in podcast form, he has been a guest on Paying Dues hosted by Brian Heater and Alex Scordelis, Wonderful, Thanks hosted by Ramsey Ess and Adam Maid, and The Commercials hosted by Dave T. Koenig and Ken Pond


On top of this busy schedule, Garden also runs the successful bodega, Joe's Cold Beverages.  Garden posted a photo of the recent remodelng done earlier this summer.

Those of you lucky enough to attend the Pendulous Breasts Quarterly event last year already know of Garden's talent for rhythm N rhyme N wearing an American flag diaper.

Follow him on Twitter and come quiz him on monkey movies August 28th at 8pm in the backroom of Bedlam for free!
