"It's All Been Done" is a satirical, improvised radio show that began as a creative experiment by Jimmy (writing under Jerome Wetzel) to showcase his talents. Originally conceived with five segments, including the star role of "The Top Notch Hanger," the show has expanded over time with additional comedic sketches like noir detective parodies and storytelling bits. It is performed monthly on the second Saturday at 5 p.m. at Foxland. The choice of radio format stems from a reluctance to handle costumes and physical production, emphasizing ease and spontaneity. The host values character depth, improvisation, and the freedom from memorizing scripts. A recurring story, "The Old Woman," features Oldie, a quirky character who seeks a chicken fly from a questionable barber named Dr. Helbo, blending absurdity with narrative humor. The show’s tone is playful, surreal, and self-aware, highlighting its unique blend of satire and improvisational storytelling. Despite its humorous and often nonsensical plots, it reflects a deep appreciation for creative freedom and character evolution in a low-pressure, accessible format.
Welcome to it's all been done radio hour. Can't you be having to see how this show is going to work? This is a radio style program, so we are on our most ends for costume. It's voicing up dating. Please sign in to your devices, but authentic vocal reactions are encouraged. They boost rather under the informants. You know, I've always wondered how would it solve a radio style? How did the concept arise? That is a great question, Megan. Look, look, look, I was here from the beginning, so I can tell you. Once upon a time, there was a very lame guy named Jimmy, who, for some reason, wrote under even Lamar name, Jerome Wetzel, and he wanted to write, and he wanted to write a showcase for my talents because he knew I was really great and reserved to be on stage. Hey guys, are we gonna start the show and then fix this? Stand still. Cool. So, anyway, Jimmy decided to create five segments because that's all he could come up with at the time. I think we got a universe journey, Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One, Pac and Radcliffe. Pac and Radcliffe was just a martial art beginning. Oh, right. Okay. So, the scary dead porn star detectives and who is that fifth one? The top notch hanger in which I star as the top notch hanger may I continue? Sure. Go ahead. Okay, so he created five segments, cast me as the star and the best one, obviously, and then got a few other actors to play opposite me. 13. They were actually 15 original string members. I know. I know, but there are 13 dimensions that the segments take place in, and I like to say in that way. Larry is the voice I was doing when I said 13. And so, yeah, that's how the show got its start. Then later, we added more segments like the noir detective spoof privates and the story telling it's all been to theater. And we currently perform on the second Saturday of every month at 5 p.m. at Foxland. Okay, but why radio? Oh, because he was way too lazy to come up with all the costumes and stuff. You know, I could have helped with that. No, it was a little too late now, Shane, isn't it? I didn't know. I didn't open at the time. And whose fault was that? Fine? Yeah, duh. I don't know what I'm actually saying, on the top of the book, it's radio. It's fun. I couldn't even eat. For it's fun. Yeah, and I love not having to memorize all those lines. I like that they get to develop characters over many years. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. So many characters. I never said that I don't like it. I mean the top notch tango is awesome even when she's lost in a time travel story that's the you know being a heroic. I do like that one too. You know the Larry is actually super curious. Well this has been fun but should we start the show? It's all been done radio hour! Good afternoon and welcome to what's all about here. I am the overall Archduke continue on the Archibald Stoke of Little Guys with high systems in Creeps and Ghidorahol, the Lion. Today I will show you a title synthesis with my special version of the tale "The Old Woman Ended This Year" and held out further at you as a surreptured or on-case it out and then you also will be able to say that the good times are error. It will be given about the Old Woman who I suppose should have a name so let's call it "Oldie" so one day early we've got to find the chicken fly. Oh no, I can't see and also my name is Oldie. Yeah it's tragic on both accounts. Oldie decided that she had best go to at least the age of the local barber slash this chicken. Let's call it Dr. Helbo. Dr. Helbo did not have the best of reputation for all this day. Of course I will certainly help you and not rip you off. Just pay me.
