“More, more! Give us more, Rich!” OK, Marshall, well I do have one to close.

So, I was at a GP recently. I couldn’t believe it, because I like to read at night, there was no bedside light! I rang reception, I said “There’s no bedside light!” They said “We know!” I said “Why not?” They said it’s ’cause of a new law, that says hotels aren’t allowed to supply bedside lights, but I was welcome to bring my own. “This is ridiculous!” I go upstairs. I put the TV on, I’ve got no bedside light after all. On comes this commercial (or as we say in Britain, an “ad”) with this little cartoon character basically saying “we can’t give you a bedside light, so don’t forget to pack one!” That was the gist. So I fall asleep with the TV on, I keep waking up, there’s this stupid cartoon character with this “we can’t give you a bedside light, so don’t forget to pack one!” It drove me nuts, I must’ve seen that thing 30 times. I’ve stopped watching TV now, I can’t bear the thought of it. Honestly, Marshall. It’s reached the point where I just started to dread “bring a lamp” ads. [Dreadbringer Lampads]

You’ve been listening to “Stand Up Magic” with me, your host, Rich Hagon. And remember, kids, Marshall made me do it.

  1. I am a little upset that after running through all of those, that there’s only 85 of them, a few short of the “100 greatest Magic puns” segment promised during PTJOU.

    Also: my current theory for the “Temple of Abandon” one is that it’s supposed to be “a band on”, and is a reference to Glastonbury Festival. I don’t know if that’s what the joke’s actually supposed to be… maybe Rich can enlighten us…

  2. Thanks a LOT for posting this. I could barely catch half of the puns in the original piece, what with the blistering pace at which they were delivered, trying to decipher card names, cultural references etc. and all in what is a foreign language to me.
