The comedy routines by Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters include “Ralph Bennett’s Volkswagen”, “Me, Old Ronnie, and the Monkey”, and “Pickin’ Up Paw Paws”.  “Wendy’s Interview” tells the story of a young female reporter who shows up in a short miniskirt at his motel room, carrying what looked like an overnight bag.  The interview takes place in view of many people around the swimming pool, and he takes pains to convince them that this is just an interview and not something else.  The comedy had held up well over the years, and none of it can really be described as corny. 

The comedy album that I have by Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters, This, That and the Other includes “Here Come the Rattlesnakes”, “Pickin’ Up Paw Paws” (which tells of his performance in a school play while a boy), a tale about following a fancy opera singer when they performed at Carnegie Hall, and many other funny stories, but no gospel music.
