Since we didnt get to hear them , is there going to be a Loff-off at the tailgate? If so gotta record this )
Short Version: Real fans were bumped so Kid Chris's planted guys could go/win. Should have saved time by just announcing the guy was gonna do it.
*speculation* (Opie, that means I know I'm talking out of my ass) Maybe the Philly ticket sales weren't as expected, and they're trying to get Kid Chris fans to buy some.
ah... I thought that was you. Well that sucks that you didn't get to go. I heard that wackbagette went without crashing, but didn't hear her "set" yet. I heard the guy who won, although I had WBCN on and literally like 15 words of his whole set was what got through. Did you think he deserved to win? Forget the crowd reaction, I mean do you think he was the best comic? I'll lisetn to the replay through XM.
I am bringing a full PA system with multiple mics. in between tunes and o&a sounders we could do a mini car crash comedy for the parking lot to hear
Roman was thinking of getting a PA and getting his truck to use as a second stage at the tailgate. Which I think is a wonderful idea for the following reasons: 1. Redding and Roman should have had a shot 2. I would have liked to have seen Vanilla Thunder's full 2 minutes, sucks that he was cut off and crashed out 3. I would have liked to have finished my material (I was cut to 90 seconds and never got to finish my best line). It was a little jarring to try to rework material with that little notice but hey, it was a try. I left out all the O&A stuff and I would have liked to share it with people who would "get it" 4. Why not give anyone else a shot at trying a line or two out?
This is what I love about WB - we might eat our own, but we also will corral around our own quicker than we would our own families.
Along with Redding and Razor Roman, a 2nd stage with all the other decent comics who didn't makie it would be cool: amir, wackbaggette, gino, etc. would be pretty damn cool. Of course, I won't be there but if you guys put it together you should record it.
im not gonna get into the real fans vs kidd chris thing....in my opinion a real fan doesnt have to win this thing it was a opportunity for a new comic to get noticed and Mayo is a young comic and kidd chris guy or not i think he deserved it (though Amir and Wackbagette were great...Gino not so much)...I will say this as a fan i love O&A and they have always been great to me...and as a fan i dont expect anything more from them then to entertain me...it sucks i didnt get on but if it wasnt for them i probably would of never tried standup in the first place... That would be a good idea...im not sure if i would do it though any mic time is good mic time...but please if your gonna do it please have a set...flea is a good kid and i like that he stood up for the O&A fans but he really had no actual material dont knock the guy cause i really think if he was a O&A guy we would like him, hes dirty and i still found his stuff to be creative...which is tough because so many comics use being dirty as a crutch...hes a young guy and deserves the oppurtunity...and if working with Kidd Chris helps get O&A fans back in philly im for it its a good idea and you did the right thing by not doing insider stuff that only a percentage of the crowd would get...Jeff from Jersey only did O&A jokes and it failed... if we could get amir to do that it would be really cool because i really liked his set..anyone know him?
