First post, probably in the wrong place, and I’m on the scrounge…and pitching it like a game. Come paint my fence…
I need some comedy names, stereotypically American. It’s for a stage production of a ‘live radio broadcast’ of ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ - a stage show presented as though for the radio - potted versions of films were often ‘trailed’ in this way in the late forties, I’m told. Ideally, the names wouldn’t sound out of place in the 40s, for a white guy (because I’m a white guy). I’m the announcer (and Ernie and Martini, but that’s beside the point). I read the credits at the end of the show, including my own name. Over 5 performances, I hope to give myself 5 different comedy names (to keep the rest of the cast entertained as much as anything).
So far I’ve got these (but I’m not wedded to the punning formula, it’s just a weakness):
Hank O’Hare
Troy Ilism
Kyle Iderscope
Randy Oldgoat
I truly like maybe two of those.
Have at it, if you wish.
Both links get me Car Talk (whatever that is, though there’s good plagiarism material there) and yes, thank you, I should have been on Bart from the off.
I have to be a tad careful, these are profit-share gigs with local charities and offence is a thing. I think Randy Oldgoat is about as risque as I dare.
