Joe Bev Records 57th New Radio Theater at Colombian Restaurant After Kean Distinguished Alumni Award

This past Sunday, after Joe Bevilacqua (Joe Bev) accepted the Distinguished Alumni Award he received from Kean University, he and his friends decided to relax and celebrate at a local Colombian restaurant. But then, Joe Bev pulled out his audio recorder. “We were walking down the street and I thought I’d just record some traffic noise,” recalls Bev, who adds, “I’m so rarely in a city nowadays. We live and usually record in the woods!"

Bev got his traffic noise and more. After a moment of walking, scrapping keys against railings, opening and closing a mailbox, Bev’s wife and co-creator spoke as her “Camp Waterlogg” character Lkie. Bev responded as Sgt. Lefty, then Kenny Savoy as Stinky.

The impromptu improvisation last 54 minutes and included conversation with the waitress, ordering and eating.

Audio from it will air over several Comedy-O-Rama hours. In this week’s hour, it's May Day, when Sgt. Lefty (Joe Bev) takes Andy (Joe Bev), Stinky (Kenny Savoy) and Lkie (Lorie Kellogg) to a Colombian restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Back at Camp Waterlogg, Olive Pitts (Lorie Kellogg) is bonding with Andy (Joe Bev) and two Homeland Security get involved in a pool make with Adam Maxwell, Ellis da Boatkeeper and Sal Pilvers (all Joe Bev).

Also featured will be the 5th installment of the first new "Lum and Abner" comedy since 1954, written and performed by Donnie Pitchford, who also draws the "Lum and Abner" comic strip appearing at http://firstarkansasnews.net in a "Sunday strip" format with a new installment each Sunday.
