Sasha Rosser, formerly a data scientist and currently a Russian-American stand up comic, joined Thursday 8 O’Clock Buzz hosts Tony Castañeda and Eli Wilz on the eve of her first album’s release. 

Having abandoned academia in 2022 to pursue something more promising than a PhD and career in neuroscience, she immediately founded Cheshire Cat Comedy and by 2023 was a finalist in Madison’s Funniest Comic. Being voted “Best Comedian” in Madison Magazine’s 2024 Best of Madison most certainly proved her academic doubters wrong. Since then, she has recorded and released the album Dirty Nerd, available for purchase and streaming starting on Friday, August 30.

Sasha was recently favorably described by a critic as “a unique, fearless voice that you come across very seldom. She’s a complete maniac and undeniably hilarious.” On the new album recorded at Crucible Madison, her “dark, dirty stand-up” is bookended with original music made through her side project as exandroid.

Is there anything this woman can’t do?

Sasha Rosser, local comedian and producer, joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz team in the studio to talk about her new show, Oh My!, taking place at The Crucible tomorrow night, December 13th.  The show is billed as a half comedy and half burlesque variety special featuring jokesters and daring solo dancers.  The Crucible is located at 3116 Commercial Avenue in Madison with doors opening at 6:30 PM.  So, try your luck, give a yuck, and be entertained by a show that doesn’t suck. 

The Yucks Stop Here

Hello, my friends! 

I am pleased to share my latest track 'Nothing Lasts Forever' with you all. The theme for this track is impermanence. I have often longed for change and felt that my situation was unchanging, but eventually you find yourself in a new situation and change has gradually taken place. I think the following quote describes this idea really nicely “The only constant in life is change.”- Heraclitus.

Have a great weekend, my friends!

Take care ❤️🙏

While elephants in the wild need our support, there are deranged elephants, in Washington and other cities around the world, stomping the life out of this earth and poisoning our families. Become a fly - let your voice be heard. Stand against the deceit and corruption.

Elephant Poem - Judy Grahn

Suppose you have an elephant 
with 56 millimeter trunk 
and say he’s tearing up the jungle 
(say you think he’s drunk or crazy) 
How’re you going to bring that elephant down? 
lion can’t 
bear could but don’t want to 
and the panther’s too small for that job. 

Then suppose you have an elephant 
with a million millimeter trunk 
and his jungle is the whole green world? 
(and he’s drunk and crazy) 
you see the problem.

one more word
about elephants 
No matter how hard they try 
elephants cannot pick their noses 
any more than bankers can hand out money 
or police put away their pistols 
or politicians get right with God. 

a sty 
in the elephant’s eye 
aint nothing 
but a fly in his nose 
is a serious if not fatal condition 
when the fly 
gets into that nostril 
it begins to swell 
and stay closed 
he can’t smell can’t drink can’t think 
can’t get one up on anybody 
he beings to regret 
all that flabby ammunition 
hanging on him 

he begins to wish 
he’d been a little more bare-faced 
like an ape or a fish 
all those passageways 
he needs to feed himself 
tied up 
ELEPHANT TURNED UPSIDE DOWN 
by a fly 
a million flies 
outweigh a trunk 
a tank 
a bank 
a million flies 
outthink a pile of IBM junk 
 
we must be wise 
to the elephant’s lies 
you may think we should try  
to sober him up 
but the trouble isn’t that he’s drunk 
the trouble is 
that he’s an elephant 
with a multi-millimeter trunk 
who believes the world is his jungle 
and until he dies 
he grows and grows 
we must be flies 
in the elephant’s nose 
ready to carry on 
in every town 
you know there are butterflies 
there are horse flies and house flies 
blue flies, shoo flies and it’s-not- 
true flies 
then there are may flies and wood flies 
but I’m talking about  
can flies & do flies 
bottle flies, rock flies and sock flies 
dragonflies and fireflies 
in the elephant’s nose 
ready to carry on  
til he goes down

A full time, freelance children's book illustrator, introduced to Magix music making software in January 2014.  Haven't been near music production since school about a hundred years ago.  Can't play a note, and sing like a drain unblocking - Hence any music I may eventually have the nerve to upload is all created using midi/vst instruments playing compositions created in the piano roll editor.   The Magix forum dedicated to music production is the only place to suffer my creations so far.  Didn't realise it could be so much fun though.  Woohoo.

Join me and a lot of other artists at www.atomcollectorrecords.com.
Get more plays for your tracks and meet a lot of awesome people!
Cheers!
