About This Show
Chuck Prentiss’s Up Chuck is a new CD containing 14 original songs, which are humorous commentaries on the lives of young people in New York City today. The CD is a whimsical musical portrait of the contemporary Manhattan social scene. Audiences are laughing themselves silly because they recognize the real people, the true situations and the idiomatic language being spoofed. In 14 uproarious songs, “Up Chuck” captures the high-spirited fun and diversity of New York at the Dawn of the 21st Century.
To order this CD, contact Chuck Prentiss at: (212) 765-3119 or via e-mail at goest@erols.com. The CD is $16.00 plus $2.50 for shipping and handling.

Quotable Quotes:
John Patrick Schutz of Applause, Applause:
“Chuck Prentiss is the unnatural offspring of Tom Lehrer and Pee-Wee Herman (and Weird Al Yankovich was probably the baby sitter). Up Chuck is bawdy?absurd?witty?silly…with the way things are going, just what some of us need.”
Jackie Mason, Comedian:
“I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. Chuck is a very talented fellow.”
Joe Franklin, WOR Radio:
“…Up Chuck may be the Funniest musical C.D. of the year. I haven’t heard one that’s more Hilarious!”
Roy Sander, Critic:
“Pretty wonderful! Very clever, very silly, very funny, very well-crafted, very tuneful. Better than Allan Sherman. It’s delightful.”
Jan Wallman, Critic-Impresario:
“Up Chuck is UProarious! The Audacious songs are brash, raunchy, in your face Hilarious!”
