Funny clip from the Tim & Eric show.
Susan from Seinfeld fame plays ukulele

Susan Ross, George’s fiance in Seinfeld that he killed off, now teaches the ukulele. Her real name’s Heidi Swedberg, and she teaches music. She’s also introducing a screening of the Mighty Uke, documentary, which I’ve still not seen, at the Musical Instrument Museum in Pheonix on Saturday, January the 8th. If you live near there you should head on down.
After thinking about Seinfeld, I stumbled upon the Curb your Enthusiasm theme tune played on cigar box ukulele. Curb is the Seinfeld co-creator Larry David’s latest show. It’s very funny and I highly recommend, and below is the theme tune.
William H. Macy & Kate Micucci playing ukulele
OK, the film it’s promoting was released in 2008, so it’s a little old, but it’s such a perfect fit for the site I’d thought I’d post it anyway. It features William H. Macy – a fine actor – and Kate Micucci, who’s acting i’m not familiar with but whose name looks like she could be the next Pokemon character. Kate Micucci’s website also has a sand castles section on it, which is to be applauded.
Lady Carol – 2010 Edinburgh Fringe
Besides getting booted off a train seat by a group of sixty strong Spanish teenage exchange students going to the fringe at an obscene time in the morning, I have had little or no interaction with the Edinburgh fringe this year. I was going to a wedding that day, not Edinburgh. However, a friend sent me a link to Lady Carol, who, was showcasing her debut solo show, though she has performed as part of another show in previous years. It looks good, so I thought I would post it.
Having now had a little read about the festival, there seemed like a lot of ukuleles, and of course, Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer’s banjolele, at Edinburgh this year.
