Get a load of Maggie Cassella in this live Toronto performance as she takes on sex, the Bible, and everything else in her blatant and hilarious style. Nothing is sacred for this no-holds-barred entertainer. Who knew that a lesbian lawyer would make such a great standup comic?

Robin Greenspan, former lead singer/songwriter of the band Arms Akimbo, puts her musical career on pause to share with audiences another talent: stand-up comedy! In the tradition of gay culture comedy, Robin shares her wry views on the humor of sex and madness of society.

Ol' Disgruntled, the comedy farmer, is back! He's delivering vitriolic vittles to the humor-starved tables of the liberal NPR listeners - listing things he hates and, well, if he must, things he doesn't hate too. Greg tackles the drinking habits of English hens and pleads for mercy from stories of the sexual habits of California Rep. Gary Condit.

A Grammy-nominated recording artist, Bill Harley - songwriter, storyteller, author, playwright - is known as one of the finest family performers in the United States. His unique combination of song and story, silly and serious, has entertained families for 20 years, and led him to be called "the Mark Twain of contemporary children's music" by Entertainment Weekly.

Hang on to your hats, dudes and dudettes. Greg's back, with a recently uncovered show from the not-so-distant archives. He's anxious for the celebrity deathmatch between Jeb Bush and Janet Reno, smug about Clarence Thomas, over-identifying with the movie Memento, stunned by loads of Viagra sent to self-obsessed billionaires, and ever vigilant for those poor, poor celebs suffering from IPD - Imagined Personality Disorder.

Poison darts at the ready! Proops, a.k.a Uncle Bummer, has a new batch of his curare-laced barbs for you. This potent brew adds two cups of Bush's current working vacation, a heaping of the Genoa police-fest, and a pinch of scantily-clad Mariah to taste. Spare stem cells anyone?

For Adults Only: Explicit language. Must be 18 years of age to purchase.

Greetings you little rascals! Isn't it hard enough being a teenager these days? Proops wants to discover the drugged up geniuses whose parents force-feed Ritalin. And, speaking of parenting, Madonna doesn't change her babies' diapers AND to add insult to injury, Proops says her new concert sucketh. Finally, recent shark attacks make Proops proud of the garden-variety prehistoric man-eating behavior.

This special edition of Audible Proops has no jokes, but Greg Proops says you should listen anyway. It was recorded September 13, 2001.

Proops is back and he's recovering from what he calls his failure of satire on his last installment. He's now wondering what Tom Brokaw is so worried about when it's the assistants getting anthraxed; where scaredy-cat congresspeople run when they're spending your tax dollars on government bailouts; and what's the cost of civil liberties when no one knows the origins of anthrax tainted letters?

Recently, Proops was shocked to hear new CNN anchor Aaron Brown report the end of ironic wise-guy humor in light of current world events. Proops says, hasn't wise-guy humor carried us this far? Also, with new security measures causing Clint Eastwood to be stopped and searched on a Hollywood set recently, Proops risks heresy to wonder aloud if maybe current security methods aren't going a little too far?

When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, he described it as a “comic weekly.” And although it has become much more than that, it has remained true in its irreverent heart to the founder’s description, publishing the most illustrious literary humorists of the modern era. This anthology gathers together, for the first time, the funniest work of more than seventy New Yorker contributors.

Welcome back to AudibleProops - after being on extended liberty in the Proops homeland of Snideberia, in the fertile heartland of Sarcasia, Proops is back. Winona Ryder busted for shoplifting? Tom Green and Drew Barrymore breaking up? Quelle surprise! And, Kate & Leopold reminds Proops that Meg Ryan is the fulcrum on which evil is balanced. The cutes shall infect the earth. Praise Allah. Also, Proops' short list of New Year's resolutions, i.e., number three, stop watching the news, and more.

Proops serves up a hearty stew of celebrity quips loaded with chunks of irony for your listening pleasure. Liz Hurley is pregnant and Proops wants to know about celebrity sex. Speaking of sex, Sex in the City is back and, well, Proops will admit it's funny, in spite of Sarah Jessica Parker's terminal case of cuteness. Proops reminds everyone that teens will still be teens, what with Prince William coming of age and smoking jazz cigarettes.

Proops in the USO? Yes, kids, it's true. Proops is back from a quick tour of the Middle East where he and his pal Drew Carey entertained the troops. But that doesn't mean he missed the Bush's State of the Union address or the looming axis of evil - Iran, Iraq, and Enron? Speaking of Enron, Proops has some suggestions for the public flogging of former Enron CEO Kenneth Lay - get yer rotten tomatoes in the slingshots and just fire away! Also, Proops offers Britney Spears come career advice.

The St. Charles Players present a unique telling of Henry James' classic tale of relationships and their imperfections, in a new multi-cast dramatization performed in exciting Radio Theatre style.

David Arnold always knew that one day he'd be on stage. Always willing to go for the laugh, David decided comedy was for him. Although he grew up in a professional music family (The O'Jays), his heart remained true to the laugh.

The St. Charles Players present a unique telling of Jules Verne's classic underwater adventure, in a new multi-cast dramatization performed in exciting Radio Theatre style.

Proops is officially back in the comedic saddle. In spite of his loathing of MTV, he tips his hat to The Osbournes. Ozzy et al have incubated a terrifying new strain of reality television in their abode and, as far as Proops is concerned, a double dose is in order. Proops wonders if you still love your president and if John Ashcroft knows how many Great Lakes there are. Could it be time for the Catholic Church to consider a new charter? And, at last, a great plan to capture Osama bin Laden.

It's a stripped down Audible Proops this week. Just the jokes, Ma'am. Proops' list of things he hates needed some updating, so, starting with the Supreme Court of the United States, the Bush Administration, tax cuts for the wealthy, Britney Spears, New Country, the Catholic Church, Loren Bush, Ariel Sharon, the major TV networks, and, well pretty much everyone else, Proops gets underway. Proops muses on President Bush celebrating Earth Day, Pakistan "re-electing" Musharraf, and much more.

Proops launches another missile as part of his self-described "Operation Poorly Written Material." He feels Dionne Warwick's pain, gives the press conference that Mike Piazza dreams of giving, points out that people who don't do a good job - especially, say, those who work for the FBI and CIA - might actually be fired for their incompetence instead of rewarded, throws Fred Durst a bone to his troll-like sub-bridge dwelling, and more.
