Interview: Traci Skene and Brian McKim

Double your pleasure
For the past 10 years, comedians (and married couple) Brian McKim and Traci Skene have cultivated a unique online niche for their comedy website SHECKYmagazine.com - a forum for both sharp, funny content and for erudite dissection of the craft and business of comedy.

BURGLAR KING
Daryl, we don’t think your younger half-brother, Dane Cook, is funny, either. But hell, we show our displeasure by simply refusing to buy tickets to his Garden frat-fests. You, on the other hand — having also been Dane’s boss at Burger King before he got famous — went a tad further, embezzling millions from your polarizing, overshadowing little brah. As pathetic as this story is, we feel even sadder for Louis C.K., who has now technically been robbed twice.

HORSEFACE KILLAH
We’re just not that into you, either. And not just because this unfunny self-help writer belittles desperate women, or because he looks like the offspring of Dane Cook and an old banana. This so-called author/comedian is one of those one-hit wonders who can’t accept his destiny, but who for some reason will have opportunities to produce a new failed talk show on E! every few years.

Predictability ensues. Hilarity doesn’t.
How many awful films must audiences sit through before producers realize that Dane Cook is not a romantic lead?

Comedy central?

With all of the changes a’brewin’ on the local stand-up scene, audiences want to know: whaaaaat is the deeeeal with Boston comedy?
The local Boston comedy scene has, somewhat ironically, a lot of drama.

Funny business

As the AltCom Festival arrives at the Somerville Theatre, we look at the roots of the indie comedy boom.
“Ashlee Simpson’s new album sold so poorly,” snorted the headline on Yahoo! this past week, that “it was beaten by a comedy album.”

Good Luck Chuck

Crass and crude and mostly annoying humor
The only plausible scenario in this movie is the idea that a woman would be so annoyed by Dane Cook, she’d be willing to put a curse on him.

Employee of the Month

No saving here
Dane Cook throws his hat in the comedy ring in his first big role, and he doesn’t embarrass himself — he’s a generally inoffensive presence. Watch the trailer for Employee of the Month  (QuickTime)
