Paul Bond is an old-school comedian. He combines politically-incorrect humor with impressions, physical comedy and song. He could easily be described as a one-man variety show.

Bond performs two shows, 9 p.m. May 15, 16, Wise Crackers Comedy Club, Ramada Inn, 1500 MacArthur Boulevard (Route 145) Whitehall.

Bond is the headliner. Pat DaBiere is the evening's emcee. Corey Alexander opens for Bond.

Bond 55, a Long Island native, has been performing old-school comedy since the time it was new school, or in other words, for around 20 years.

"I don't tip-toe around issues," Bond says in a recent phone interview. "I tell everybody to relax, leave all your opinions at the door and to come in with a clean slate."

"It's very tough for a comic these days to try to make light of any situation because everyone is, like, so sensitive. I desensitize my audience by talking about [1970s' TV sitcom] 'All in the Family,' the good old days, when we could laugh at ourselves."

Bond begins his show by doing classic stand-up and then segues into a music portion where he plays guitar and performs song parodies and then concludes with an audience sing-along.

His comedic heroes are George Carlin and Steve Martin and he hopes their style of humor comes through to the audience during his act. He performs a bit inspired by Carlin called, "How did the seven dirty words became dirty?" Bond, also a skilled impressionist, does the routine in Carlin's voice.

"It's kind of like George reincarnated on stage. It's a lot of fun," Bond says.

Some other impressions Bond performs are Johnny Carson, Tony Soprano and Ray Romano.

Aside from his tour schedule, he has been working on a television situation comedy project, "Basile," which Bond describes as "Modern Family" meets "All in the Family." He says it has both classic and newer sitcom humor.

"It's about a restaurant. It's very ethnically-driven. It's really like a melting pot and I'm very proud of it," he says.

Bond co-created the show and also is head writer and co-star. The pilot has been shot and Bond hopes it's picked up for a full 13-episode season.

He has several comedy CDs available, but fans have been requesting for years that he release a comedy DVD to fully showcase the physicality in his act. He will be filming material for the DVD in June during a performance at Connecticut's Bridge Street Theater. He is planning to call it, "You Asked for It."

"People are making a trip for this. It's a big event for me," says Bond of the Bridge Street DVD recording. "It's my first theater gig where it's my name bringing in the people."

Audiences planning on attending either of the shows at Wise Crackers can expect as Bond puts it, "Comedy that is honest, silly and musical.

"My show is fast and furious. If you don't like something I'm doing at the time, don't worry about it. In two minutes, you will."
