unbibiumI got to watch a taping of the Last Comic Standing auditions.
TWENTY-SIX COMICS doing three minutes each. Some of them sucked. Most of them were funny-but-who-cares. But some of them kicked ass, and in my opinion, the judges picked the right ones to move on, for the most part.
I didn't recognize anyone on stage except the two comics I'd seen in previous seasons.
And after that, I got to watch Ralphie May perform. Man, that guy has matured as a comic like you wouldn't believe. He's just as intense, and he's just as real. And I could tell he's spent a lot of time not just in Phoenix, but in my neighborhood -- he mentioned Guadalupe, the "seven blocks south of Baseline where you can't drink the water," and going to the Waffle House on I-10 for a Mullet Hunt. And he promptly cussed us out for complaining about the lack of rain.
There was a lot of TV production weirdness, where they had to pause to load new tapes into the cameras, while keeping the pace up the best they could. I can't wait to see how it turned out. Remember to watch for me in the audience. I'd be slightly embarrassed if they got a shot of me taking notes on the back of my voting ballot so I could remember which of the 26 names were attached to which acts.
