LISTEN: ALBUMS

  • The Big Tickle

  • Brendan McNamara

Old-school comedy. New-school kids. The Big Tickle is a comedy album taking it’s inspiration from the hey-dey of the format and the likes of Nichols & May and Bob Newhart. Spanning worlds and characters from 40s Noir and a brother-sister, criminal-cop siamese twin duo to U.S. Border Patrol and two fatuous celebutantes, it’s two people making worlds of comedy with sound.
