The Comedians of Comedy - Cultural Event #6

OK – this was really funny. They added an extra show at 7:00 p.m., and it was certainly odd to be drinking and watching standup while the sun was still coming through the windows. The crowd was pretty small – no more than 300 people. We got two of the last chairs and scooted them up to the third row. All of the comedians talked about how excited they were to be in Chicago because they had had the worst show of the tour during the previous night. They were in Champaign and apparently were heckled the whole time. It’s hard to say who or what was the funniest, but I got a sore face from laughing so much. I knew Patton Oswalt was a movie buff from reading his blog… one of my favorite bits of the night was when he was describing his dog’s turds, and how they’re so vile and evil and wrong that even David Cronenberg wouldn’t film them. I was surprised by how funny Brian Posehn was too. That guy was over-the-top raunchy. He must have been holding back during Mr. Show. Yeah, you guys should be jealous that you couldn’t see the Comedians of Comedy.
