The John Miller Program with Susan Maletta, August 31

It's a good thing I wore my lucky yellow panties to the radio show last week, because I laughed so hard, I peed in my pants! I mean, I'm not really sure if I peed....all I know is… suddenly I felt a really comfortable and warm sensation between my legs. Maybe it was pee, maybe it was something else! I'm just not sure. So, thanks to Will Franken, Scotch Wichmann, Grant Lyon, and Sal Calanni for giving me a rush of excitement that I won’t soon forget. Get excited. Go to http://www.fccfree.com/ and download last week's show.

Next week we have more heavy hitters, yep, an all-star line-up of professional, touring headliners and it will be a night of music, comedy, and learning about comedy and what it takes to succeed from some of the BEST in the business. I am actually getting nervous because I have been a huge fan of each of these comedians for a very long time. I used to watch 3 of them over at Rose & Crown when I was first starting out in comedy and every Monday night was spent laughing my head off. (Thanks to Drennon Davis, Jason Downs, Dave Burleigh, and John Hoogasian for being brilliant.)

First up, we have a favorite of the JMP, Kira Soltanovich. Born in the former Soviet Union, and raised by immigrant parents in San Francisco, Kira Soltanovich has plenty to laugh about. "Like most kids, my parents took me to Disneyland …not for the rides, for the lines. They assumed there’d be food at the end of them." Kira was a series regular for four seasons on Girls Behaving Badly, and has also appeared on such shows as Jimmy Kimmel Live, 3rd Rock From The Sun, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Next up on the JMP, we are delighted to have the fiercely talented, musically gifted, and extremely funny Drennon Davis alongside the adorable, lovable, charming, and super-hilarious Jason Downs!

Drennon Davis is a local celebrity. He was on Last Comic Standing, is a featured comedian on the front page of ComedyTimetv.com, is a regular at the San Francisco Punchline and the Hollywood Improv (and many other great clubs), is the creator/animator of the hilarious cartoon called “The Peeper and Giney Show”, is a featured performer in the Adolph Hitler Roast, and will soon be taking the stage at Comedy Day 2008 in San Francisco.

As a child, Jason Downs would sneak away in the middle of the night to watch The Tonight Show. Jason's dreams would come true after graduating San Francisco State University with $30,000 of debt and no job skills. Beginning his comedy career in San Francisco, Jason has become among the best comics in the bay area. Like his influences, Eddie Murphy and Sam Kinison, Jason draws his material from his personal life. While on stage, Jason shares his dramatic and outrageous stories with the audience. A unique likeability allows Jason to confess his greatest flaws in an original, aggressive, and hilarious act. A good heart and a bad mouth allows Jason to share his story of a know-it-all who knows nothing.

And finally, we are more than thrilled to bring you an amazing talent, he’s a master impressionist, and really, really good looking…Dave Burleigh with his sidekick Squid on guitar! When Dave Burleigh enters the JMP, I am going to SQUID right off my chair.

(Hmmm…I’m starting to realize that I need a man. *Sigh*)

Dave Burleigh has been amazing audiences literally all over the world with his clever and clean comedy for over 15 years. He has recently joined forces with two other successful comedians to create the Three of a Kind Comedy Tour. Dave has taken the lost art form of impressions to a new level by often inviting the crowd to offer up requests during his stand up routine, and is always looking to add new and current voices to his act. This rising star who has opened for Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, and George Lopez covers such topics as current events, sports, politics, music and everyday life, usually while incorporating one of his spot-on impressions.

Tune in! And CALL IN during Dave Burleigh's segment. CHALLENGE HIM by making requests for unique celebrity voices.
