    Artist description
    The Vaudevillains are a sketch comedy troupe composed of three guys who individually are neither funny nor well liked. But together they are even less so.
    Music Style
    Sketch Comedy. Humor. Funny recordings. Ritualistic pagan chanting mixed with ancient Celtic slapstick with a heaping portion of dumbass.
    Musical Influences
    Sketch comedy, Monty Python, Steve Martin, Firesign Theatre.
    Similar Artists
    Mr. Show, Saturday Night Live, Adam Sandler, Mad TV, Kids in the Hall, and Fat Albert.
    Artist History
    The year, 1971, VaudeVillain David Arthur is born. The very sight of him makes the doctors laugh, ten days 11 hours later VaudeVillain, Michael Fields is born, the very sight of him makes the doctors sad. Coincidence? I think not. Fast forward 3 years, one of the nastiest summers on record, VaudeVillain Michael Weaver bursts on to the comedy scene in wave of afterbirth. Coincidence? I think not. Fast forward 20 years, babies grown up with man danglies and hair, wanna humpa hump. Searching desperately to carve their collective niches in the annals of time, they decide to consolidate their comedic sensibilities and talents to form: The VaudeVillains. The rest is history. Coincidence? I think not.
    Group Members
    Dave Arthur, Mike Fields, Michael Weaver, and Mr. Bonkers the Puddin' King (silent partner)
    Instruments
    3 cups white sugar, 1 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Directions: 1.) In a 3 quart saucepan, combine white sugar, evaporated milk, and cocoa.
