Hi.
I’m starting a Substack called Sub-Sacks.
A bi-monthly paid-subscription-only column about comedy, the nuances behind writing comedy, fresh interviews with those in comedy (both performers and writers), lists, thoughts, trivia, essays, an occasional nudie shot of myself, wearing only a rented top hat, holding a #1 Champion pennant.
In essence, this will be an ongoing sequel to my two books of interviews, And Here’s the Kicker and Poking a Dead Frog.
For various reasons, there will not be a third book of interviews.
So … this is it.
$8 a month, $80 a year.
Now, you might be asking: why does one need another Substack subscription?
You don’t. What can I say? I was going to have AI come up with an answer, but even AI couldn’t come up with an answer.
But if you’re a comedy nerd such as myself, a fan of effluvia, The Book of Lists, detailed and applicable advice from the best in the comedy business, answers to your own personal questions about writing and comedy and publishing, etc., then why not, right?
Warning: these will be articles and interviews and material that wouldn’t necessarily interest most magazine editors, podcast producers, literary agents, all of whom, let’s just say, might not be as interested in the nuances of comedy than we might be.
These are articles and interviews that wouldn’t be seen otherwise.
Twice a month. A quick read before and after you sip your Nescafé by the jacuzzi.
It’ll be unlike anything else out there. Is that a good thing? Jesus, do I really have to go ask AI again? How do I know?
So, this is a paid column only. If interested, here is the link:

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reachin’ for the stars. I love you all. Most. Some. A smattering. What the hell: all.
