Last night Michael, Amie, Marsha and I went to Yucks 4 Bucks night at Hurricane O'Reilly's in Boston. Amie had won tickets from some radio station that was sponsoring the event. The premise was a bunch of armature comics do stand-up and the best one gets a cash prize of $1,000. We figured it could either be fun because the comics were good, but it could also be fun because the comics were tragic.

It turns out it was a little mix of both. The first comic of the night was actually really funny and so it seemed like we wouldn't spend the whole night heckling, but it soon turned tragic. I would say out of like 7 or 8 comics about 3 were actually funny. One comic, DJ Napkin, was hilarious doing comedic raps that were not at all corny. He was one of my favorites and was the second runner up. There were a few that tried to use music for a laugh but making a song dirty is just silly and not at all praise worthy.

I do think a few of the comics might have been funnier if I could actually hear them. One of the main problems was that the event was hosted at a bar, so a lot of people were more interested in getting their drink on then listening to some one's stand up act. Anyway, it was an interesting night out either way. Plus I enjoy any reason or excuse to go into Boston in general. Well, that is it for now folks. Salut :)
