Why did the chicken cross the road? Because he left the Alex theatre feeling like he lost many hours of his life watching crappy comics! That was how I felt last week after seeing who was in the top twelve. This week, however, the chicken crossed the road because he was dancing in the street. Rejoice, faithful readers, and enjoy, as I bring you the latest recap of Last Comic Standing. As I am preview-less, I am surprised to see that the house has been replaced by a boat this year. Not just Gilligan’s boat, but the Queen Mary, thankyouverymuch. These comics do live a hard life. Let me explain the rules to you, as Anthony looks more and more like a mime each time I see him, and a mime can’t help you in a recap. My favourite elimination sentence of any reality show ever “I know I’m funnier than…” is back and better than ever. Each week, the comics will vote for who they think they are funnier than, and the comic with the most votes will choose not one, but two people to go to the head to head with him or her. Only the winner, decided by the audience at the show, will get to go back on board. That little innovation will last until six comics are left. This fills my heart with joy. We see some of the roommates pairing, such as Gabriel Iglesias and Josh Blue. Josh says that if Gabriel rolls over, he’s dead. Roz, surprising everyone in the entire world, is already in a foul mood and shouts the explanation for her behaviour, which is, “I’m rooming with Hella Stella!” Oh. You are forgiven. It’s already dinner time and the producers are trying to make us feel the tension in the room. The only tension I feel is utter pain when I see Kristin Key’s hair. I think she’s great but it hurts me to see such an unfortunate haircut. The little cards are back and Bil Dwyer has the privilege to read this one. It’s like the crappy poems on Survivor or who’s going to answer the phone on The Apprentice. The card says “Boo me once, shame on you. Boo me twice, it will get ugly.” Yay! I’m representin’ y’all! They all speculate on what it all means and Joey thinks it’s about ghosts. Stella starts yelling and agrees with some others that the “boo” stands for the audience booing. Why can’t it stand for me, eh? The contestants are magically transported in a room set for comedy somewhere around the boat. Tony explains that the challenge will be… heckling! The comedians are paired up and while one of the two has to perform a five minute set, the other is heckling and then they switch jobs. Anthony draws the names randomly out of a hat, no wait, a rubber chicken, and the couples are: Josh Blue and Chris Porter: It can’t get any better than these two. That’s my opinion, of course. Josh performs first and starts talking about his disability; Chris as the heckler tells him “Physical disability? More like funny disability!” They have a back and forth chat about Josh’s mother and they are just perfect. When it’s Josh’s turn to be the heckler, he talks about Chris’ hair and they change from yo mama to yo sister jokes. They are very good. Kristin Key and Michele Balan: Mmm, these two are ok, I guess, but their heckling is not up to par. Michele is the first heckler and she does an okay job but I roll on the floor laughing when Michele is the performer and Kristin asks her “How did you escape the Titanic?” and she says “I was in menopause, I ate the *insert curse word here* iceberg!” Rebecca Corry and Roz: I know what you’re thinking, and you’re absolutely right. Roz was a born-heckler and Rebecca suffers greatly, I don’t know if she even finished one joke. She does manage to tell Roz that her mom was so fat she had a VCR as a pager. (Pager? VCR? What are we, in 1996?) When it’s Roz who’s performing, Rebecca calls her MO-NIQUE and that’s about all that’s shown of them. Gabriel Iglesias and Bil Dwyer: I like these two, but they showed so very little of them that I can’t say what I truly feel in the bottom of my heart. When Gabriel performs, Bil tells him his mom doesn’t understand some things because she’s still sore from giving birth to him. When Gabriel is the heckler, all he does is laugh loudly, non-stop, and literally rolls around in his seat. That’s one way to heckle that I never thought about! Ty Barnett and Stella: You know, for a good heckle to work, I guess the performers must have *some* level of respect for one another. Or maybe that’s just me. These two were clearly not fond of one another and it showed. She yells, he tries to talk over her and the only thing we see is him calling her Ho-seanne. Teehee. I guess I could talk about him asking her about her makeup but that’d be too boring. April Macie-Gulman and Joey Gay: My two favourite annoying unfunny comics! (That’s because Stella doesn’t really exist.) April uses some recycled jokes and Joey… just…sits…there. He doesn’t heckle! Isn’t there some sort of penalty for that? I give him one. Eyebrow of doom for you! When he’s performing though, April tries, and please put the emphasis on tries, to heckle him. He shots back at her, calling her a stripper and starts swearing all over the place. Awww, these two! Enough with this! Immunities are waiting to be taken and the audience is voting. The best heckler is April Macie and the best performer is Stella. Yeah, right. Roz and Chris. Now, that sounds better. I must say Kristin lost to Chris by a single vote. Really? Was she that funny or some points of her good heckling transferred to her performance? She’s freaking out because she thinks the other comics will think she’s the weakest! Girlfriend, no need to worry, as I said before, my cat could be in the “house” right now and say he’s funnier than some of them. Back on the boat, Stella and Roz start yelling at each other and Ty is trying to get Roz to calm down. Stella “challenges” Roz to the head to head but Roz has none of it. Oooh, I want to challenge Stella! I think I could win. Could I? I hope so. It’s voting time! In a dark and gloomy boiler room, the comics are seated and wait to go vote. I can’t wait. -Roz, immunized and all, is the first to vote, and she says she thinks she’s funnier than Stella. I’m nearly shocked. -Chris, could probably say he’s funnier than a lot of people, but he says he’s funnier than Michele. Oh, now I’m surprised. -Ty, who else could he vote for right now other than… Stella! -Bil makes me laugh so much when he says he knows he’s funnier than Ant. Yes, yes you are, Bil. He actually votes for Michele. This is getting interesting. -Rebecca votes for Bil. Oh you little strategist, you. -Michele votes for Stella. Woooo! -Stella votes for April. The woman is not stupid, even if she’s not funny. -Josh knows he’s funnier than Stellaaaa, and so does everyone else. -Kristin, the paranoid for nothing one, thinks she’s funnier than Michele. What did Michele do?? -April votes for Michele. Really? No. You’re joking. -Joey talks about not heckling April and I’m like why are you talking so calmly and what have you done with annoying Joey Gay? He’s the opposite of his stage self while Roz is exactly the same. All in all, he’s now a janitor and he says he’ll mop the floors with April. Sounds like the heckling formed a few rivalries. -Finally, loveable Gabriel Iglesias puts all the names in a hat and his vote goes to Rebecca. All in all, there are four votes for Michele and four votes for Stella. Both of them are going to the head-to-head with three heads and they must choose another person. Will it be Roz, if they want to go home right now? Will it be Anthony Clark? It’s actually April Macie. Wise choice. April says she has no business being in comedy if she doesn’t win this round…*Music Starts * Foreshadowiiiiiing * We’re now at the Alex theater and Anthony Clark finally reveals his mime rock star persona to the world. By a showing of the official hand sign of rock concerts of the 80’s, I know we’re about to get some hardcore comedy. Our first performer is Stella. She tells the women in the audience that they can’t get some good lovin’ because all the men in the city are gay. She also says she doesn’t understand why they are so proud to sleep with men ‘cause if you look at her, she ain’t happy. She ain’t funny either. She trashes her husband once again and I have a little feeling inside of me telling she’s done. Michele is old, we all know that. She’s going to work at Starbucks because of this gig, she’s joking about attacking a plane with a nail clipper and she’s more worried about the pilot of a plane being drunk than anything else. Teehee. I’m amused. April talks about wedding invitations being like jury duty, she has hoochie gear for dating purposes (Gary Gulman, did you know this?) and she talks about the same joke she did last time about the best friend knowing everything. Some people are shown laughing but I think it’s clever editing. Enough! The first to be eliminated, after the audience votes on a cool and totally reliable voting system, is Stella. Yay! The winner is announced, by a margin of 83 % (that can only be one person!) is Michele. That means April is going home. Is this a dream? Gaaah! Could I win against Stella?

Excellent recap Boo! I couldn't watch the show this week, (although I did catch Stella and April walking out :bounce) but I'm glad I could get all caught up by you! |

Boo, I know you're funnier than Stella..my lint brush is funnier than Stella.  Can you tell me why April Macie walks like a duck? |

Those who can't laugh at themselves, leave the job to others. Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says... 'Oh, crap...she's awake!!’ | |

If a duck could clap it would clap just like April. And what is up with Stella acting like she's some fight club chick and she's about to give birth??? Not good. Glad those too are gone. Great recap Boo. |

Uh, Kira...you're supposed to stop taking the pre-natal vitamins once the baby's born. Clearly it's affecting your judgment.

Well?

I think in order to get the full effect of the April Macie suck, one must have seen a few things: 1. The episode that she was on during the semi-finals (where she wasn't anywhere near the best by any means and yet better comics were thrown to the wayside) 2. Gary Gulman is her boyfriend. If you don't know about one of those, or both, then it's much easier to like her. And she seemed pretty nice in the episode and her set was significantly better. However, if you saw her initial show... it made me wonder what was going on, and if I had been transported to an alternate universe. Compared to the majority of the other comics, she wasn't that great. However, when she's up against Stella and the audience is her target audience... she's far better. |

You're too funny! I guess that's why they call you FunnyGirl!  I guess I missed that episode of her not being funny...I did think that her last set was pretty good...
