About 18 months ago we did an interview where Jamie was trying to set up an Organ Donor "Thank-you" program at comedy clubs. The "Comedy & Magic Club" in Hermosa Beach was the first supporter. BUT now the "Levity Live" company and all the "Improvisation" comedy clubs around the country are offering Free Admittance to shows each month to peopl who signed up as Organ Donors....an amazing program!Jamie Alcroft, a comedian known for his work as part of the comedy duo Mac and Jamie, and for hosting the TV show "Comedy Break", is on a mission to promote organ donation through his Laughs for Life program. Inspired by his own heart transplant experience, Alcroft launched this initiative to offer free comedy shows to organ donors, thereby raising awareness and encouraging more individuals to register as donors. The program, which has already been successful in 12 comedy clubs nationwide, including the Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, aims to expand further, incorporating music venues as well.

The Global Partner for FATHERS FOR THE FATHERLESS https://f4f.bike/   Show Notes: 4:45 –  “I have five kids and I have…five extra kids. And what I mean by that is there's a there's being a dad and there's also being a dad like one, because around us there's always some kids who don't have a father figure in their life at all.” 5:55 – “The greatest name I've ever been called is DAD…I just I think there's a lot of guys who are missing out on some great opportunities in life… the cool part is, is even where our dads lack, God completely picks up plus some…” 7:39 – Funny How Life Works book 9:36 – “There's going to be times where things seem rough. You don't know what to do as a dad. You're struggling. But just the fact that you're there, just the fact that you're present is awesome. But in those times when things are getting hard, the key thing to do is to be still and listen to the Father's voice because he is talking to you. And what he wants you to know is that he's right here. He loves you. All you have to do is open your eyes.” 11:17 – “Correct but don't reject.” 12:43 – “Telling his kids after discipline:  “I just do not like disciplining you. But it is a requirement. It's what I'm called to do. Otherwise you won't be prepared for when life tries to discipline you.” 16:14- Addressing the “hecklers” in our lives – often our own negative self-talk.  “You have to address the heckler and use scripture to chase the heckler away.” 17:05 – On stepping out of being amatuer as a dad. The oldest dad in the world gave you this assignment, which means you must be ready for it….He is the greatest dad ever. And he looked at you and said, you know what? You're ready. 17:43 – The impact of his dad apologizing to him. “I remember him apologizing to me and I and I don't know if he was human before that. Like that's when he was most human when he apologized… “ 18:11 – Tips for having important, hard conversations with your kids. 20:12 – Quote from Funny How Life Works: “Looking back, I now realize that many of the things I resented or found annoying about my earthly father are the very things that allowed me to open the gifts my Heavenly Father had deposited in me.  23:46 – “So you're going to make some sort of mistakes. But fellas, I want you to know for sure you are absolutely dadAWESOME, because I got an awesome dad and I know I'm going to be an awesome dad because I'm a give it my all. Even if we're going the wrong way, I'm going the wrong way all the way, because I'm doing it because I love my kids and they're going to know that.” 24:55 – The way comedy works is there's a set up and there's a punchline. Right? The setup is when a comedian makes you think in one direction. What a punch line is when you change that direction in a way you're not expecting. The results are revelation, fulfillment and joy expressed through laughter. In life, it's the same way. 33:49 – So by all means, look for those opportunities to speak into somebody's life. That base that you got. You got that base for a reason. Some kids need to hear that coming from five feet above them, or a foot above them. Or eye to eye contact or maybe even looking up to them. Just speak into their life.

Michael's entry into comedy was almost preordained. Years ago in a crowded Grand Rapids, Michigan movie theater, the projector malfunctioned. The film snapped, the house lights came on, and acting on a dare, young Michael jumped in front of the restless crowd and took center stage. When the theater manager tried to usher him out, the audience demanded he stay... and Michael Jr. discovered his gift. Comedian George Wallace offered Michael his first break when he took him to the legendary Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, home of Jay Leno and "The Tonight Show" staff. The club's owner slipped Michael onstage... and a week later Michael was performing at the "Just for Laughs" comedy festival in Montreal, where he became the first comedian to ever appear live via satellite on "The Tonight Show." That performance catapulted Michael's career and has resulted in additional appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Comedy Central, TV One, The Late, Late Show, BET's ComicView, Jimmy Kimmel Live, SiTV, CNN, The Tom Joyner Show, The Bob and Tom Show , DayBreak USA and Bryon Allen's Comic Unleashed and ComedyTV. You'll also find him at the most prestigious comedy clubs across the nation, including The Improv, The Laugh Factory, The Comedy Store, The Punchline, The Comic Strip, and Zanies Comedy Club. And, if that's not enough -- Michael's versatility takes him from major universities such as Notre Dame, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of Alabama, to church events ranging from the 60,000 member Willow Creek Church in Chicago to the 17,000 member West Angeles Church in L.A to the 10,000 member New Life Church in Colorado Springs. How can one man be equally at home in the heartland and the inner city, churches and prisons, corporate events and youth rallies? Michael calls it comedy accountability. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lol-comedy-showcase/support

We go back to the future in a way with Larry Miller. This special bonus episode is an interview I did with Larry Miller a few years back in the green room of the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach.  Larry had just returned to doing standup on a regular basis and was preparing for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.  Paul and Larry talked about his return to serious standup, what he missed about it and why it gives him so much pride and makes up so much of his identity.  Did Larry and Seinfeld trade acts? Was Larry originally cast as George Costanza? Paul has a few questions and Larry is kind enough to answer them.

The great comedian, actor, and writer Larry Miller joins Paul on this episode of the Alley Oop. The two became close friends since working at the Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach together a few years back.  Larry told Paul's parents he was one of the good ones, which made his mom and dad feel good about his path as a comedian.  Paul gives Larry a gift--a Jerry Garcia tie, which meant a lot because he's been holding on to for awhile. They haven't seen each other since Larry had a serious fall last year and was hospitalized, but Larry is back and healthy as ever which Paul was happy to see, and even happier to finally give him the tie.   Larry discusses his comedy beginning, auditioning as a drummer/comedian at the Comic Strip Live in NYC, where Jerry Seinfeld was on stage the first time he ever set foot in a comedy club. Seinfeld and Miller have been best friends since that time and continue to work together.  In fact, is it true that the two friends even traded each other's acts a few times? Paul talks about the best comedy show he's ever seen- Seinfeld & Larry Miller at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.   Larry talks about how he was really inspired and amazed when saw Bill Cosby at Carnegie Hall with Seinfeld and some other comedian friends. Larry plays drums, piano and cello. Just in the last few years, he's incorporated music and singing into his one man show "Cocktails with Larry Miller."   Paul admits to taking a tapdancing class, and Larry doesn't judge, replying "It's good to be in showbusiness."    Paul asks Larry to discuss the beginnings and evolution of his legendary standup piece "The Five Levels Of Drinking." The two discuss their love of the movie "Midnight Run", and Paul coaxes him into telling stories about Val Kilmer and the famous Dennis Farina  "Secret to Showbusiness" story that Paul loves to hear.   Larry admits to being a Grateful Deadhead. The two share a great moment and Larry says he will buy a tie for Paul the next time he sees him.
