Comedian-musician James Lee Reeves, known on stage as Milo Tremley, usually sports a white cowboy hat, a black suit and a devilish goatee. But his shtick fits better in a Vegas dressing room than on a dude ranch.

In “Yeast Infection,” a little ditty sung in the tune of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” features a medical lexicon of the biological occurrences that go along with being a woman: “Yeast infection, menstruation, P.M.S. neurosis/ cellulite and saddlebags and menopause psychosis/ breast implants and mammograms and endometriosis/ if you don’t take calcium, osteoporosis.”

And Tremley’s exploration into the wild, and often numbskull minds of men, turns up in tunes like “Won’t Propose,” “Men are From Mars” and “Directions,” about how men never ask for precisely that.

Within his hefty load of material dedicated to the gender, Tremley also has an alter ego, Professor Milo: Marriage Therapist. Professor Milo is always eager to give the audience his unprofessional, misguided advice on relationships: “Hold her, love her, show your affliction for her; otherwise you drift apart and she gets half the house.”

Professor Milo has a foolproof way for a wife to get her husband to send flowers: “Die.”

When Tremely’s not dissecting the idiosyncrasies of men and women or giving marriage counsel, he concentrates on the current issues. His “Kick Ass USA” – once the number one most requested song on Dr. Demento’s popular radio show – is an anthem sing-along about a redneck psychopath who gets an excruciating itch to be in the military: “I called a recruiter, said man I’m a shooter and the devil has gone to my brain/ just give me a shot to show ya’ll what I got, cause I wanna jump out of a plane.”

Reeves’ persona wasn’t born overnight; it took years to find a niche. Though music is his true passion – he spent much of his early life trying to make it in bands around Los Angeles and Nashville – his true talent was revealed through comedy.

“When I was broke in Nashville, I got up on stage at Zany’s, and eight months later I was headlining all over the Southeast,” Reeves told the Las Vegas Sun. “I put on a cowboy hat and sing songs about what makes relationships not work.”
