The first one was funny because it was too true. It's painful to watch even my own kid play t-ball.
ReplyDeleteThe second guy didn't even elicit a chuckle. Three and four were very funny.
I'll keep my eye out for those three guys to hear more.
I like G.I. from his Last Comic days. Barcena made me laugh unexpectedly and Franciso made me chuckle with his cereal bit; don't know why "Antonio the Tiger" was so funny.
ReplyDeleteI like that Al Madrigal is struggling with issues of ethnic identity. I've never heard his comedy before. He's an interesting cat.
ReplyDeleteRe: Madrigal, I do feel like he has solid material but there was something about the timing, tone and delivery that left me underwhelmed.
