First, Savard talks about hypnotizing people in college, in his two bedroom apartment, and making them “do things,” and you don’t ask what those things are. I mean, he specifically mentioned he had bedrooms, and you have to assume some of the people he hypnotized were girls. When I was in college, if I had had that kind of power, you can imagine I would have abused it. I’m kind of disappointed with you.

And, I know you will never say who the friend was your wife put on her free-pass sex list, but I pray to God it wasn’t Fobes or Bohunk.

I’ve always thought this was a crock, myself, and that everyone on stage was a plant.

The craze for that guy is just insane over here and I don’t quite get it. He is absolutely the most hacky comic in Germany, BUT he knows how to perform his hacky material really well, imo. So to the mainstream audience who don’t think in categories like hacky or original but rather made me laugh or didn’t make me laugh, he is a very good comic.
I still find it hard to believe he filled that huge ass stadium, which is supposed to be world record… don’t know about that though.

Actually, if nobody has picked the next user requested comic, I challenge you, Brian M, to play a set from one of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_T_Award winners. These people are supposed to be the funniest stand ups from our country, so lets see if you can actually find something listenable.

I’m newer than new, but always wanted to try and “sack-up” and do an open -mic. I even went as far as sit staring at a blank page for hours “writing” material. The only thing I got out of that is the fact that I can’t write and can only crack wise in conversations.

I recon that “Flight of the Conchords” may be the catalyst that launches the New Zealand comedy scene. There are a lot of parallels, for one just like Father Ted it had to be made by a foreign tv channel because no domestic tv channel would take a risk on it. The other parallel is that people from other countries find it funny, so local Kiwi acts can see it and say “hey, Bret and Jemaine can make the Americans laugh, maybe I could do that too”.

Maybe if “Flight of the Conchords” featured a few more cameos from other New Zealand comics it would kick start the local scene. There are a generation of comics in Ireland who sold out rooms all over the country because on the poster they put “As seen on Father Ted” under their name.
