Last Comic Standing: Five Comedians Left
The last five comics standing performed this week and oddly enough, the one I have found to be the least funny cracked me up the most. Lavell Crawford started off the show with a joke about working in fast food, but his joke about looking like a road construction barrel with his school crossing guard uniform on was the funniest. Jon Reep had the crowd rolling with his joke about the guy talking too loudly on his cell phone in public. Then his routine about marrying beer if he could was good too “Would you beer, take me to be your awfully hammered husband until DUI do we part?”
Ralph Harris did a four-minute set, just like all the other comedians, but it was all spent doing a bit about his aunt’s arm fat getting in the gravy and acting like his uncle being drunk. I just didn’t find it all that funny. Amy Schumer had a few good moments. It was funny when she talked about her mom marrying for times and each time they changed cultures. “Girls, we are Hindu now.”
But, to my surprise, it was Gerry Dee, someone I have never found particularly funny, that made my night. Loved his bit about being a waiter and serving caffeinated coffee to those who asked for decaf, but his wedding stuff was just too funny. The 2-liter gravy boat joke (“it’s not like we went to dinner a week before the wedding and I ordered 17 sides of gravy), just had me laughing aloud. Personally, I think Ralph Harris may be going home, but you never know.
