Musicians that could be Comedians...and vice versa
Posted by Commoner on 27 July 2008 - 8:10am.
I have heard that many a comedian wanted to be a rock star and that many a rock star would like to be funny. I think Tom Waits can manage both. Here he is talking about his kids and his horse pictures. Have you any other candidates for a job swap or job share?

Three contenders...
Richard Hawley - I've heard he has a good line in between-song gags
Miles Hunt - (of The Wonder Stuff - yes they're still going) tells some great stories/anecdotes usually linked to the next song. Some of his recent solo gigs have had nearly as much talking as singing. He also writes occasional pieces for Left Lion http://www.leftlion.co.uk/articles.cfm/id/176
Henry Rollins - will be in Edinburgh this year doing his excellent stand up / spoken word / rant stuff. Not sure if he strictly qualifies as a musician though. Never seen him pick up an instrument. Are singers musicians? That's probably another thread altogether...

Yeah Richard Hawley without question. Very funny geezer.
