Howard Stern on Sirius

Also, getting to see Scott the Engineer do his first stand up gig ever when I go to see Artie on Friday is going to be fucking classic. There will be detailed impressions following the show.

Where's the gig?

Pretty good week of shows so far. Thinking about picking up a Stilleto to record the shows I can't catch.

On a related note, for the guys that listen to Bubba the Love Sponge, my lady just picked us up tickets to BubbaPalooza here in Phoenix, should be a good time.

Where's the gig?

I think it's in Cleveland. We should send Biff. Knowing his luck, he'll get involved with the show somehow.

Yeah, it is in Cleveland. Box seats at the playhouse FTW.

You can torrent the shows easily.

I grabbed the last two weeks worth before I left for India and threw them on my Ipod. Grandma Caprio vs. Beth is one of the greatest bits ever. Wish I could hear the new ones with George! I'll probably download those during his xmas vacation.

Bob Levy is going to eat blue cheese out of his ass

I saw Bob Levey and Beetlejuice do that at Killers of Comedy back in September. Here were my impressions from the show. It was fucking hilarious.

[Brand X]

Well, I had mixed feelings about the Artie show last night. First being that the crowd was AWFUL. It's fun to have some heckling, but to be booing literally EVERYONE one stage besides Artie really made the show less enjoyable than it should have been.

Bob Levey was as funny as ever. He MC'ed the show. I never thought he was that funny on the Stern show, but after seeing him in Killers of Comedy I was singing a different tune. He brought the same vibe he did at the Killer's show to this show, extremely raunchy humor while talking lots of shit to the crowd and nearly teabagging the security guards at the front of the stage.

Mike Morse (not sure how to spell his last name) was at the show doing his song parodies. I can definitively say that song parodies are only good on the Stern show and do not transfer over well to a comedy performance setting. He got booed off the stage.

Next up was Richard Christie. Jesus fucking christ was he bad. He got on stage, rambled like a drunk idiot, literally told 4 jokes that weren't funny and got booed of the stage. I really like the shit that Richard does on the show, but he sure isn't a stand up comedian, he was that bad.

Jim Florentine was next, and this is when the crowd REALLY pissed me off. Jim is a hilarious comedian, his stand up was great, but the crowd was so bad that they literally pissed Florentine off past the point of him wanting to finish his stand up. The last 5-10 min of his act were saying "shut up, Artie will be up next, I'm going to be on for the same amount of time no matter what so just calm the fuck down". Extremely lame.

Of course next was the man, Artie Lange. God does he look awful. I hear it all the time on the radio how bad he looks, but the dude is just a huge mess (I have pictures attached). His stand up was great though, ranging from drug stories to jokes about what it would be like if Crazy Alice and Alec Baldwin had a kid. A classic part of his performance was that he had a tall glass full of Jack that he was drinking continuously through a straw.

The show ended with the disaster that was Scott the Engineer. He was even worse than Richard. Just screaming and ranting at the crowd, trying to tell jokes but them all falling flat on his bald fat face, and fighting the crowd through out the entire thing. Though Artie did come back on stage in the middle of his performance saying "yeah, I know this sucks, but think about how great the clips are going to be on Monday morning". JD was there recording the entire show so there will DEFINITELY be clips of that disaster, along with clips from a Q & A session Artie and Scott had after his stand up.

Overall the show was hit and miss, when it hit (Artie, Jim, Bob) it was fucking great, but when it missed (Mike, Richard, Scott) it was worse than anything I had ever seen. After seeing both this and Killers I can say that Killers of Comedy was a better overall show. The filler acts were way better than the filler acts @ Artie's show, the crowd was better, and the main acts (Schule, Sal, Bob Levey) seemed to win over the crowd more than the main acts of last nights show.
