Louis CK is hands down the funniest guy in America and he’s coming to the Orange Peel in April!

I know. I interviewed him for a paper in Kansas City. I have tried to sell the interview to interested papers in the area, but they’d rather write about quilts or whatever is happening at Bobo.

I might actually go to the Brian Regan show in September. He’s just that funny.

I kinda like demetri martin these days.

I like his delivery.

Where else can one find stand up comedy in Asheville besides The Orange Peel now that the short lived comedy club that was here closed? Inquiring minds want to know.

City Council meetings.

Doug Stanhope is coming to Asheville in August.

I’m showing my age.  I just don’t get Demetri Martin.  Those Tim and Eric guys as well.

AWSOME! where at? The OP? I wonder how that would work, since its non-smoking.

I guess me not getting him means that I don’t find him funny.

Thanks to Facebook we’re reconnected with a college acquaintance who is now a professional stand up comic.  I’ve known people personally in pretty much every entertainment field, except for comedy, so talking to him has been enlightening.

I don’t like their show and I hated their live performance.  A customer defended them as being “anti-comedy,” which to me means NOT FUNNY.

I’ll tell ya though, they were mobbed by more fans after the gig than the past 100 bands I’ve seen combined.

Aaaand…  How are you not going to share some gems into the rock and roll world of standup comedy after bringing that up?

I don’t really “get” their show either. I just assumed that like David Lynch movies or other things that I also don’t “get,” their show must either require a higher level of cognition or the ingestion of psychotropic or hallucinogenic drugs or both that I apparently don’t have.

It’s that irony laden crap that people like now. I don’t understand it. It’s somehow not as cool to laugh and lose control and not look cool. Now something has to be silently funny to be worth merit. It’s like somebody took all of the low comedy out of the Simpsons and told people that this is the new comedy.

I blame indie rock also.
