Re: “Local nightclubs and bars are increasingly opening their doors to budding standup acts”
Great read! It should be noted that the 1st comedian mentioned was doing an act-out of Celine Dion's "Titanic" theme song.
Re: “Liberal talk-show host Stephanie Miller on defending Obama and outselling Pacino”
I'm happy for Miller because her show is or was outselling Al Pacino, but I'm not sure that says good things about our culture. On the one hand, a comedienne and talk show host of fair-to-middling accomplishment. On the other hand, arguably the world's greatest actor, making the kind of appearance he almost never makes. Notwithstanding the shameless cheerleading for Miller from writer Danny Hooley, if those ticket sale numbers were anything other than an anomaly, it might be time to revisit cultural critique.

Got my tickets the first day they were available, got really great seats, but I sure wish we could have afforded the VIP tickets to the "Meet and Grope!"

Re: “Molly Buckley's solo show Harvey Wallbanger at DSI Comedy”
This show rocked Friday night! Definitely go see it! I laughed the entire time...
Re: “PT Scarborough brings improv abandon to bad movies”
This is the funniest show EVER! You really have to be there and experience it to really get the genius of PT Scarborough and the whole movie-dubbing concept. Once you see the show, you'll understand and be laughing with the rest of us. Come see it either tonight or next Friday!!!!

Re: “Talking comedy with Steven Wright”
Awesome. "Not knowing what to add to a box of dehydrated water" was a running joke for me for almost 10 years.
Re: “Bucking the trends, DSI rebrands and expands its comedy festival”
IMPROV WEEK STARTS WEDNESDAY At 8PM Last week was so incredible and ALL the comics really appreciated seeing that The Indy had paid so much attention to Standup. Because most comics have low self-esteem and just want to be loved. Right? Same with improv groups AND Writers for Saturday Night Live ;) http://nccomedyarts.com
