Bob Bergen Takes His Act On The Road, Again!

Bob Bergen is taking his one-pig, er . . . his one-MAN-show, "So, Here's The Deal" to Chicago where he'll be performing at "IO Theaters Del Close Theater" on October 2nd. It's the tender story of how a nice Jewish kid from Cincinnati moves to Hollywood and becomes the worlds most famous stuttering pig (among other characters.)

I now seen three versions of Bob's show and found it hilarious. He's honed and expanded the show each time. Ask him how the captain of the Norwegian Pearl became part of his show on Deb Munro's VoiceLympic Cruise. For a taste of Bob as Porky Pig, Tweety Pie, Sylvester Jr. and others, watch the trailer:

Two Thumbs "Up" for Pixar's Latest Triumph

Laurie and I saw "UP" this morning and we loved it!

Sure, there was a willing suspension of disbelief, but this film contained many of the same tender and heart rending moments which made "Paladin of the Lost Hour", "It's A Wonderful Life", and "Day of the Dolphin" exceptional. Laurie and I both cried during the first ten minutes and we choked up several times through out the film. And we laughed. . .we howled during several spots in the film. This is a film about life and living, death and dying, and all of the ups and downs in between.

The voice cast is wonderful with Ed Asner as the curmudgeonly Carl Fredricksen, Christopher Plummer as the megalomanical Charles Muntz, and newcomer Jordan Nagai as Russell. Co-director and screenplay writer, Bob Peterson also supplies the voices of dogs,Dug and Alpha. Bob Bergen has told me that he provided the voices of a buncha dogs and a tv announcer.

We both recommend "UP" for ages 9 to 99. Stay through the credits!

Bob Bergen Takes His Act On The Road

Bob Bergen is taking his one-pig, er . . . his one-Man-show, "So, Here's The Deal" to New York where he'll be performing at "Don't Tell Mama" on April 22nd and 23rd. It's the tender story of how a nice Jewish kid from Cincinnati moves to Hollywood and becomes the worlds most famous stuttering pig (among other characters.)

I got to see his show in January, 2006 and found it hilarious. I've heard he's honed and expanded the show since then. For a taste of Bob as Porky Pig, Tweety Pie, Sylvester Jr. and others, watch the trailer:
