    You know, it never hurts to explain those kinds of things in an opening post.

    Helps those of us who are a bit dense.

    And probably the best. As Doobie will attest I can happily spend half the day watching the streetmosphere shows at D/MGM. I always enjoyed Dewey's performances - I remember when he first started (must have been '01 or so) and he really grew into his various characters - although Francis Floot from Bucksnort, Alabama was his best by far.

    Although I've never checked them out I'm told that he does post video skits on a website (presumably YouTube) on a very regular basis.

    I wish him all the best - D/MGM is poorer for losing one of its finest Hollywood citizens from Sunset Boulevard.
