On Saturday Brandy and I went to see John Heffron’s new year’s day show and had a pretty good time. We were torn between he and Todd Glass on Last Comic Standing, but we were very happy one of our picks finally won something. Hear that Apprentice? We are sooo representative of America, next time just call us directly instead of letting people vote and getting Jay London into the finals!
I really like shows like LCS because they introduce me to new comedians that I probably wouldn’t have seen otherwise, giving me more names to look for on the local comedy club sites. I still can’t figure out what happened to the last couple of shows from the last season; we Tivoed the show, but it never showed up. One day Brandy just told me that he won, but I think we caught the replay on Bravo or something. We got turned on (not literally, gross) to Jim Norton the same way, through Tough Crowd.
Anyway, since we showed up super early we had the option of sitting directly next to the stage, which we promptly declined. Turns out it was a pretty good decision since three of the five tables were reverse heckled by two different comics. Heffron busted one of the couples for showing up to the show 2 nights in a row AND sitting in the same seats! He asked on of the other tables if they were dating or not. The guy gave a maybe so face and the girl did a HELL NO head shake. You could hear the Debbie Downer noise in the background, poor guy.
