Comedy CDs - Caroline Picard - My House, My Rules

My House, My Rules

Cajun Queen Caroline Picard is back with My House My Rules, another excellent stand-up comedy CD not for the faint of heart. Now that she is menopausal, her caustic wit now has acid dripping from it and her razor sharp tongue lashes out at everything and everybody that makes her life more complicated. Caroline Picard is a comic who takes on the pope, old and new, and Oprah and other sacred cows. If you thought hurricane Katrina could do a lot of damage, you haven't been a target of this stand-up comic.

Picard, who opens for Ron White of Blue Collar Comedy and is heard on XM Comedy radio, is a great observational comic. Her routine, Just Take A Pill, is the best bit on all those TV marketed drugs I have heard. Also excellent on My House, My Rules is her bit on how much we have too much stuff. Her mental leap from feminine hygiene products to Buffalo wings is enough to make your head spin. If the Cajun Queen is so adept at sharing her feelings it may be because there are Too Many Women's Shows. I really enjoyed her take on why there are no minorities on Lifetime's movie cause of the week.

If that was not enough to drive this stand-up comic crazy and give her the munition she needs to shoot from the hip, society itself is doing a good job of creating the speed loader she needs. I also agree with Caroline Picard we have too much stuff and not enough common sense.

Now that she is in her very late forties (I am playing it safe in case she decides to turn her sights on me) Picard does what a lot of old people -oh well-do and complain about today's generation. Anyone with a teenager will find this material extremely funny and wonder if someone is spying on them. This material is the core of My House, My Rules and those tracks alone make for a great comedy CD.

I am less impressed with listening to her plugging her first CD which is probably why the California Hates Me bit does not float my boat. She does close strong and blue with I'm Momma's Age

My House, My Rules is a stand-up comedy CD you do not want to listen to while driving unless you have really good insurance.

Comedy CDs - Caroline Picard - Just Running My Mouth

Caroline Picard is a straight from the bayou, redneck, blue collar, foul-mouthed, take no prisoners, call ‘em likes she sees ‘em stand-up comic with the bite of an alligator and the attitude of someone who knows what she is doing and has long made peace with the fact she is not going to get her own sitcom so she doesn't have to play nice. Everyone and everything is fair game to this very funny lady and this makes for one hell of a stand-up comedy CD.

There is not doubt the parental advisory label on this funny CD should be a little bigger. Even a fairly liberal minded listener will wince at the copious amount of swearing in his live comedy set. Fortunately, Picard gets away with it. Not only because the first thing she does is warn you this is how she works but also because you quickly realize she is not swearing to compensate for weak material. Her standup routine is funny to start with and the language becomes part of it.

There are not that many comedians over 50 who are still funny. There are even fewer comediennes over 50 who are that good. This self-proclaimed Cajun queen is the exception to the rule. Amazingly enough, this reviewer, who fancies himself a stand-up connoisseur, only recently discovered Caroline Picard although she has been on the comedy circuit for some twelve years and I definitely feel I have been missing out.

On Just Running My Mouth, and lord knows she is, Picard covers the fact she is going through menopause, cannot possibly understand people who are into body piercing, or children who live at home past their welcome, comes from both Louisiana and Texas (a nasty mix), just doesn't get Mardi Gras in New Orleans, believes there hasn't been any good country music or rock and roll since the early eighties, that preachers are hypocrites but the ten commandments are the basis of our society, and that America is number one.

Again, this is a great comedy CD as long as you are not particularly sensitive to language.

A Testimonial to the Cajun Queen

Hey Caroline,

Girl, As soon as I got your CD, i had my husband and
daughter listen to it and I thought i would have to
call the paramedics because my husband was turning red
with laughter. Both of the were rolling on the floor
and were crying because their stomachs were in knots.
Hope this was OK, but I made a copy of the CD(didn't
want the original scratched up) and allowed some
friends to hear. I'm a commercial driver as I said and
I deliver for Sam's Club so i let the guard that I
have become friends with listen to the CD. 

I had to give this to her when their were no trucks
coming in. She too was almost on the floor and another
guard was coming in saw her face and thought she was
having a heart attack, but Dona told him he was
listening to your CD and played it to him (same
results). He asked if he could take the copy to let
his mother hear it (he said his mother is just like
yours). She is in her 70s and Todd said that she was
rolling too and kept saying to him "That's what I used
to do"!

I sent an email to Hiram Entertainment but received
not word from them but I will keep pestering them 'til
I get an answer. 

This morning, I was late getting home due to some
electrical problems with the trailer I was carrying so
I had to wait 'til a repairman came. This was around
5:00 am eastern time and I'm parked at the Flying J in
Fort Mill, SC and I see drivers just getting up,, some
drinking coffee, some eating breakfast, some not quite
awake. I was getting some paperwork done and was
pulling things out of my briefcase when your CD fell
out on the floor and I picked it up and a lightning
flash hit my brain and I looked my CB radio and then
at the CD then at my CD player! Oh, Its on now! This
will wake them in a good mood!

So, I got on the CB and told everyone waking up that I
could see they were having problems staying awake and
the coffee wasn't helping too much. I told them in 20
minutes turn your CBs to channel 7 for some comedy to
get you going and make this a good day for you. 

I used my binoculars and I could see drivers and
people in RVs (they were here in Charlotte for the
race) changing the channel to 7! So, I quickly set
everything up strapped down the CB mike button and hit
the play button the CD player and WATCHED!!!!

When you started, this is what I saw:

*Coffee coming out of mouths and noses.
*Faces turning red and holding their stomachs.
*People pointing at each other with the words "That's
just like you"!
*Some rolling on the floor ; some in their beds.
*Some getting OUT of their trucks and sitting on the
truck steps.

Needless, to say, they enjoyed your CD because I asked
them to honk their horns. Flying J was filled with
horns honking and when the CD ended and they went back
to Channel 19, they asked for your website, where can
they get a CD, when you would be in certain cities,
etc.

I think they are all awake now. Some of the drivers
even said "thank you driver, I needed that to start my
day". So, you should be getting some emails or CDs
being bought.

So, now I just need to get the comedy zone here in
Charlotte to get on the ball and I will continue to
call them to bring you here and also Ron Shock.

Hope this made your day,
Joan
