Boothby Graffoe started out to me as a guy I started following on Twitter because of some funny thing he posted about steak once. He followed me back and I’d enjoy seeing his stuff. I didn’t realize when I asked him how big of a deal it would be to me that he agreed to it. As a fledgling stand up comedian this is the kind of guy I need to know about. I know I shouldn’t shill too hard for someone in this thing but go look him up. He’s on Wikipedia if you want an overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boothby_Graffoe_(comedian). You can also check him out (and buy some stuff) at his personal website: http://m04606.wix.com/theboothbygraffoe.
I love the title track from his album “Wot Italian” a lot if I had to pick something off the top of my head. I can do that because I don’t have an umbrella on my head. But seriously look him up on Youtube then go buy some albums from his site. At the very least follow him on Twitter because the man is very funny. Enough of my rambling, on to his.
