The host on Friday night was hilarious. She really got us warmed up. Her name was Noela something. One of the comedians that night said no matter how funny you are the audience still won't remember your name. Too true.
The feature act was Jamie Blanchard from Minneapolis. He had a calm demeanor. His performance was as streaky as Kammron Taylor's shooting. His jokes either hit or didn't. His jokes covered the usual spectrum; Small town drinkers, dating smart girls, bad with directions, road rage, etc. Maybe he wasn't my style.
The headliner was Don Reese. He is one of the funnier stand up comics I've heard. He looks like Uncle Fester on crack, so he says. He kept the audience entertained the entire time with very few pauses. A good chunk of his material was based on his appearance(doesn't pick on the audience). This made his jokes seem like real events that happened in life, which always makes things funnier. He's a tall, bald, heavy set man. He also incorporated a running gag with the word "Fantastic". He is a must see.
