TOP 5 Lists of 2009 (the last of them!)

Dave Walk — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:33:06 +0000

As we count down the hours until 2010, here are the last of the Top 5 of 2009 lists from Philadelphia comedians.

The Top Five Bits By Philly Comics Of 2009 by Luke Giordano

5. AARON HERTZOG’S “SCIENCE TEACHER”

This bit is the summation of what Aaron Hertzog is onstage. It includes a fundamental misunderstanding of the opposite sex, the sexualization of food, the self-realization of his own absurd behavior, and not least of all, funny noises. This bit is so steeped in adolescent fantasy that Aaron actually uses pornographic movies as the logical basis for his assumption that his presumably middle aged science teacher wants to have sex with him as well as a justification for her insistence that he barter the answers to a 9th grade science test for sexual favors. And Aaron never really says that he thinks any of this is a bad idea. You even get a sense that porn is the ONLY point of reference for him from this bit. The very notion of all this would be ridiculous and absurd to the point of criminal if it didn’t make absolute sense from a male viewpoint. OF COURSE he should have made those two girls suck his dick for letting them cheat off his science test. OF COURSE his post-menopausal science teacher wanted to teach him the ways of lovemaking and usher him into manhood. Why wouldn’t she? But Aaron seals off the absurdity of the bit with an exasperated, “I’m a fucking idiot” at the end, acknowledging the reality after two minutes of fantasy, bringing us back down to Earth.

Also, he wiggles around and says “yum yum yum.”

4. DOOGIE HORNER’S “GENTLEMANLY CUSTOMS” / “EAGLES”

These bits really showcase the two different sides of Doogie’s style of comedy. In the first bit, he rips the carpet out from under the concepts of chivalry and gentlemanly sacrifice by sneaking up behind us rather than with a direct assault of. He uses examples in an extended flight of fancy to show us why these accepted practices are stupid rather than simply telling us that they are stupid. And as with a lot of Doogie’s longer bits, the comedy’s all in the precision and the details. He builds the scenario he’s created to a rapid fire climax and cuts the whole thing down with a bit of appropriate non-sequitur smut.

The Eagles bit is just a great short joke. And it instills the audience with a great visual — the mighty majestic eagle, that symbol of power, engaged in what has to be very awkward bird sex.

3. DAVID RAY’S “HOLOCAUST”

David Ray came out of nowhere this year and this simple, short punch to the balls of a joke was all anyone on the scene could talk about for the whole month of June. It’s hard to imagine someone rising higher and faster than he did this summer and this joke stood out among the rest, though all very good. He uses sexual frustration by initially painting a picture of a first time gone wrong and then throws us a curve ball of Holocaust denial that has gotten more consistent cheers for a single joke than I can recall otherwise.

2. KENT HAINES’ “ENGAGEMENT STORY”

This bit was the culmination of Kent’s wealth of material on his relationship with his longtime girlfriend, (and now fiancee). The theme of arrested development in relation to his dealings with his girlfriend is dominant in throughout his act and it all comes to a head with this bit. He has to come to terms with the fact that he’s going to marry this girl but even in this process he can’t help but feel inadequate as his eager girlfriend tells him the mother of all proposal stories that happened to one of her girlfriends (she obviously wanting something similar from him) to the point that he is filled with an overwhelming sense of dread and panic. The subtext of much of Kent’s act — and important subtext that surely ultimately led to his appearance on television — is that he does love his girlfriend and does want to get married and start a family with her someday, but there’s something inside of him that really would rather stay in and play Nintendo forever. He’s tapped into the zeitgeist of men in their early twenties who aren’t quite ready to go all in, as well as their girlfriends who might be pushing them a bit too hard.

1. ANTON SHUFORD “BASEBALL”

What other bit than this one could be number one? This is just a great fucking story. One with twists and turns and surprises. One that builds and builds and never lets up for a second. This is a joke that makes you side with and ever cheer on a guy who does so many things that are thoroughly reprehensible, and who does them one right after the other, and on top of all that, uses shaky (at best) logic to defend himself, but still, Anton is so charismatic, convicted, likable, and such a gifted storyteller that not for a second are you disgusted with him or siding with the disabled child who is victim of his selfishness. He sweeps you up right from the get-go and doesn’t let you down until he’s done with you. And at that point, you’ve been laughing and applauding for the past five minutes so you don’t even have the time, the want, or the need to ask any moral questions on what has just happened. It has to be said, this bit really is a masterstroke.

Meg Favreau of Meg & Rob

1.) Alli Soowol as Kitten

Everyone who I perform with in the Real Housewives of Philadelphia is
so incredibly talented and funny and good, so I hope the other ladies
aren’t offended that I’m giving a special shout out to Alli’s
character. Kitten is a weird-talking, rhinestone-wearing, possibly
mentally deficient woman-child who doles out sage advice and wraps up
story lines at just the right time, and I’m in awe of her.

2.) Bedtime Stories

This is a cop out. Oh, I love Bedtime Stories, but picking it allows
me to include the following things in one item: Secret Pants’ prom in
three minutes, Jon Goff’s PowerPoint presentations, and the utter joy
that is the Greggulator.

3.) Roger Snair’s Script at Guilty Pleasures

I was there for the first performance of this, the one when the
Phillies were playing and almost no one showed up. But oh my god,
what a strange, amazing script and performance. Numerous times the
performers broke down in the middle of their sentences because they
were laughing too damn hard.

4.) Sketch Up or Shut Up

This is a sketch-comedy open mic I started earlier this year. I know
that picking a show I host for my top five list is kind of lame, but
it’s also been the location of some of the best and weirdest stuff
I’ve seen this year, like Dave Walk and Aaron Hertzog’s call-in show
and Brian Kelly and Paul Triggiani singing product jingles by request
to the tunes of popular songs. And all of the performers and audience
members have been so supportive and friendly.

5.) John Kensil’s Video for Chip’s Moon Contest

If I am laughing and constantly asking “What?” during something, that
usually means I love it. Filming NASA interviews in the backyard in
front of tomato plants? What? Amazing. I am also including this
video on this list in hopes that it will spur John to put the thing
online. JOHN. PUT THE THING ONLINE.

PS – That whole moon show was great. Brendan Kennedy in the Iron Man outfit? Aaron Hertzog and Luke Giordano’s moon party thing? All so good.

Bryce Remsburg of Secret Pants

1. Jon Goff

-This dude is a genius. Seriously. I have never seen him do anything but kill an audience. He is consistently the highlight of Bedtime Stories. One specific show doesn’t stick out, because they are all so amazing. He has taken something so simple as a powerpoint presentation, and makes it hilarious every time. Not to mention he makes a fine Roller derby play-by-play announcer and a fine Terrordome host.

2. Kent Haines on Comedy Central

-While the thought of doing stand up comedy petrifies me, this was a feeling of community accomplishment. A guy that is one of us fledgling Philly comedians (for now) was on TV! Paul F. Tompkins introduced him! His name was spelled correctly in my DVR! His American Apparel shirt didn’t fit right! Also, I miss “Why Am I Not Famous?” greatly, the Rowan and Hastings swansong was a special evening.

3. Greggulator at Philly’s Phunniest

-I was laughing to the point of tears during this entire performance. He gets baby powder in some unsuspecting patron’s drink. He shoots a t-shirt into the audience with a homemade slingshot at Helium. The confused silence following some of his jokes. I haven’t just been capitalizing He because it appears at the beginning of the sentence. He is a God to me, the closest thing we have to our own Andy Kaufman.

4. Ascension: Gutierrez

-The Chicago Cubs loss is Philadelphia comedy’s gain. I consider myself lucky to have been present for his rookie year here. He adapts to any situation, be it Johnny Goodtimes’ backyard, the Trocadero mainstage, singing at the Shubin, or giving advice at the Khyber (which led to him being punched in the testicles by Meg Favreau). If you have not experienced Fastball Pitcher Bob Guiterrez live, do yourself a favor.

5. Meg Favreau and Rob Baniewicz

-I’m not referring to their little comedy troupe here, but them as people. I cannot imagine our “scene” without them. They make any show better, be it performing or spectating, and are so incredibly positive, and supportive of everything. I may literally smile when I see them somewhere. Sketch Up or Shut Up is a fantastic, widely untapped idea. I’m so glad they like me.

Dave Terruso’s (Animosity Pierre) Top Five Lines From Philly Comedy (in no particular order and without context)

(Please note, most of these happened in the past month as I have a horrible memory)

1. Bing Supernova’s (Chip Chantry’s) joke, “I accidentally poured a gallon of maple syrup on my poodle this morning. And by accidentally, I mean angrily.”

2. Aaron Hertzog’s line, “If I sh*t myself somewhere, I’m done with that place.”

3. BAD Creations’ Daryl Charles’ line, “I don’t know MY dad.”

4. Fastball Pitcher Bob Gutierrez’s (Brian Craig’s) line “Chip Chantry, I think I have motion sickness.”

5. Doogie Horner’s line: “My friend asked me, he said, ‘If you could be any animal, what animal would you choose to be?’ And I said an eagle. And he said, ‘Why, so you could fly?’ And I said no, so I could, you know, finally have sex with eagles.”

TOP 5 Lists of 2009 (yet even more!)

Dave Walk — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:17:35 +0000

As we count down the hours until 2010, here are more Top 5 of 2009 lists from Philadelphia comedians.

Doogie Horner, stand-up, host of The Ministry of Secret Jokes

5. Henry Foley vs. Luke Giordano at the Raven Lounge debate

The Raven debate is always entertaining, but this match was especially interesting because of the contestant’s diametrically opposite approaches. The debate was, Who would be a better wingman: Darth Vader or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat? Luke had Vader and Foley had Scorpion. Foley took an early lead as the crowd favorite, being very personable and friendly, and clearly having fun. Luke came in all business. He appeared confident that his superior knowledge of Star Wars would give him an edge, but it actually worked against him since the crowd didn’t know what the fuck he was talking about. Foley easily walked all over him until the final round when he suggested that Scorpion would use his trademark “Get over here!” move to snare women from across the bar. The crowd thought that was really funny until Luke—in a stunning comeback—explained that what Foley had described was basically ninja rape.

4. Roger Snair beating Gregg Gethard in a Yo Mamma Battle at the Fringe Cabaret.

This show was kind of an uphill battle, because a large portion of the audience were artsy people who’d come to the cabaret to see interpretive dance and such. They did get to see some of that, but they also saw one of the dirtiest—and awesomest—yo mamma battles I’ve ever seen.

The battle started with a pack of eight that slowly whittled down to two players in the final round: Gregg Gethard vs. Roger Snair. Gregg’s Yo Mama snaps were very creative. They were actually long, rambling short stories more than “snaps.” One of them was (and I’m paraphrasing) “Yo Mama asked if she could be my slave. I said yes. Then she asked me how much she’d be getting paid, which means she doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “slave.” So I drowned her in the fountain outside the Cherry Hill Mall. Lots of people saw her dead body floating there, and they laughed, because it’s weird to see a dead body somewhere like that where you don’t expect to see it.”

Roger’s snaps were very short, and also creative in their own way, but totally different than Gregg’s: “Yo Mama is so ugly, the WNBA won’t let her play.” “Yo Mama is so stinky, skunks think she smells.” Near the end, you could tell he had obviously run out of snaps, and was making them up on the spot. He would speak haltingly, his eyes looking up at the ceiling, clearly unsure what his next words would be. “Your Mama . . . is sooooo stinky . . .” a long pause, then his eyes would light up, “she can clear a room!” The crowd loved the genuine, guileless enthusiasm he exuded.

Like Henry and Luke’s debate, it was a great battle because the two comics had very original styles that were polar opposites. Roger wasn’t even originally scheduled to battle, he just jumped in. And fucking nailed it.

3. Bing Supernova

Chip Chantry’s alter ego Bing Supernova has been around for a while, but it wasn’t until this year Bing really found his groove. Bing tells the jokes Chip Chantry can write but never tell because he’s too nice. “Have you ever gotten an erection in a place you shouldn’t? Like your mouth?” His Michael Jordan joke is incredible, so is his “When I fight, I telegraph my moves,” joke, but I don’t want to ruin either of them here. My hope is that Bing Supernova becomes so famous that he completely overshadows Chip Chantry, forcing Chip to wear a beret and blazer and scream obscene anti-semitic jokes for the rest of his career—which, actually, isn’t such an awful fate.

2. John Kensil’s Chicken Nuggets joke

“You know, when you go through the McDonald’s drive-thru late at night, the service isn’t always the best. I got some chicken nuggets from there a couple nights ago. I’m driving home and one of the nuggets starts to ring.” (pantomimes picking up a phone) “Hello?” “Hey, tell Duane I’ve got his Blockbuster card.”

1. The WID at the Ministry of Secret Jokes

The WID is my favorite comedian of all time (sorry Bob Hope, wherever you are). But my admiration and respect for his comedy reached a new height after seeing him do a half hour at the Ministry of Secret Jokes Bachelor Party (full disclosure—the bachelor party was mine). The room was packed, it was the end of the show, and crowd was a little rowdy. The WID got off to a smooth start, telling a few marriage jokes: “Doogie said when he gets home he’s going to rip Jen’s underwear off. The elastic waistband is killing him.”

Then he brought out the props.

If you’ve never seen the WID before, he dumps huge containers of props all over the stage and then makes lighting fast puns about them. For instance, at one point he angrily shook a pair of small shoes at the crowd. “Who put these here? Who put these here? Oh you little sneaks.” His jokes are very fast, and he’s incredible at thinking on his feet. Which came in handy when this drunk in the front row started making fun of the WID’s pants. So the WID said “Hey, stop looking at my pants. Or as they say in Spain, ‘Leave my pantalones.’” The crowd loved it. Making fun of the WID on stage is like standing between a mother grizzly and her cub, if grizzlies told jokes while they mauled you. This guy in the front kept fucking with the WID—talking during the show, not laughing—and the WID didn’t miss a beat, he’d make fun of the dude and then slip right back into the act. At one point he held up a white trash bag and said “Here, you can hang out with the rest of the white trash,” before dropping it at the guy’s feet. The guy wanted to murder the WID, but then the WID would say something so funny the guy had to laugh. That’s powerful comedy, taking someone who wants to punch you and making them laugh.

I’ve seen plenty of comics get lengthy applause breaks, but before that night I’d never seen a comedian have to pause because people were loudly chanting his name—WID! WID! WID! And then the WID would scream “bring up more props!” and three guys would bring giant tupperware containers on stage and he’d spill them everywhere and keep going. Nobody follows the WID, because there’s nowhere to stand on the stage.

Kent Haines’ Top 5 Jokes of 2009

It’s hard for me to remember if these jokes were all written in 2009, but they’re the 5 jokes that made me laugh the hardest.

5. Chip Chantry – Wheel of Fortune
If I had to point to a single joke in Chip’s act that exemplifies his sense of humor and persona, I’d pick this one. His Wheel of Fortune bit does an excellent job of establishing his sensibility with the crowd and giving them a taste of what’s to come. And structurally, it’s airtight. The type of joke you can only write when you have gained an intuitive feel for stand-up.

4. Joey Dougherty – Self-Esteem
Again, this joke instantly gives the crowd an insight into Joey as a comedian and a person. The Philly scene has a lot of ramblers, but Joey understands the economy of words and getting straight to the heart of a joke. I’ll be quoting this joke to friends for a long time.

3. Darryl Charles – Asparagus
Darryl has really impressed me this year, but this joke in particular keeps me laughing every time I see it. Darryl’s performance takes a solid premise and elevates it wonderfully.

2. Luke Giordano – Boba Fett
Boba Fett was a solid joke. Luke did it for months, and it always got a decent response. And then he ripped it apart and rewrote it from scratch, turning a good bit into a killer bit. I am really impressed with Luke’s commitment to get every drop out of a joke, as well as his willingness to throw out good jokes and search for better ones.

1. Anton Shuford – Baseball
Anton won Philly’s Phunniest this year, and it’s this joke that shows why he deserves it. Anton plays a game with the crowd where he exposes bigger and bigger flaws in his character and dares the crowd to stop liking him. And night after night, they can’t. In fact, they love him even more for it. Just a fantastically written story.

Gregg Gethard’s Top 5 Philly Comedy’s Best Moments for 2009

1.) Doogie Horner’s Bachelor Party Ministry of Secret Jokes: Top to bottom the best comedy show I’ve ever been to, let alone a part of.

2.) David Ray’s performance at Helium’s contest: A true “Where the f did this guy come from” moment.

3.) An Evening at Applebee’s Bedtime Stories: The best BS of the year, including a breakout appearance from the debuting Chris Cru Thick.

4.) Anything involving Bing Supernova.

5.) Emily and Micah’s performance at the Shubin.

Brian Craig of Secret Pants

5. – The “Kick the Keg” Backyard Show
With half a keg leftover from a show the previous night, Chip Chantry and Johnny Goodtimes decided to throw together a short-notice, by-invitation-only comedy show in Johnny’s backyard (which is the size of my bedroom). An incredibly awesome, incredibly intimate night of hilarity ensued. Twenty years from now, everybody will claim to have been there.

4. – Emily & Micah McGraw
When we were choosing acts to open for our two Shubin shows in November, we just went with people that we wanted to watch. Emily and Micah were at the very top of the list. And beyond the hilarious, catchy tunes, these guys are just plain adorable. My favorite songs: “Cat on the Street”, “Tasers”, “America”

3. – The Philadelphia Comedy Community
This is kind of a holdover from 2008, but the Philly comedy group-o’-friends really solidified this year. Not only were there some really great monthly shows (like Chip’s “One Man Show”, Gregg Gethard’s “Bedtime Stories”, and Kent Haines’ late “Why Am I Not Famous??!??”), but there were also some wonderful social gatherings, such as Aaron Hertzog’s Super Bowl get-together, Dave Walk’s Halloween party and everyone getting together at Murph’s to watch the Phillies during the post-season. The sketch and stand-up sub-communities have become fast friends and I wouldn’t be surprised if 2010 brought with it some very interesting and exciting collaborations.

2. – Aaron Hertzog, the handsomest man you ever did see
I have no hesitation in predicting that Aaron will be the next big thing to come out of Philadelphia. He is easily one of the best jokesmiths in the city and he has a comfortable stage presence. Almost all of my favorite jokes right now belong to Aaron. To list a few: the “Hide-and-Go-Seek Killer” bit, his bit about how he’s an unlikely abduction target, the story about his mom bringing him a clean pair of pants to work, and, of course, his “handsomest man” intro.

1. – Secret Pants, five years deep / Brian Kelly’s 30th birthday show
2009 marked our fifth year together as a group, effectively culminating in a montage Paul cobbled together to surprise BK onstage for his birthday during our show at the Shubin. We’ve come a long way together, from fresh-faced college graduates to balding, tired semi-grownups with jobs, responsibilities, and, for more than half of us, mortgages. I’ve really enjoyed growing up with these guys and it’s an honor to be able to create funny stuff with them on a regular basis. And the added bonus of being in this group of exceptionally talented people is that we’ve had the opportunity, especially this year, to perform alongside some amazing comedians and sketch groups. Hitting the five-year mark made me look back on all the people we’ve met and become friends with and I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. Thanks, guys. You’re true blue.

Philly Comics Head Off to Boston

Dave Walk — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 16:04:37 +0000

The Boston Comedy Festival starts this weekend and Philly stand-up comedians Doogie Horner (profile), Conrad Roth (profile), Pete Kuempel (profile) (who lives up by New York now, but still counts) and Anton Shuford will be heading up to perform and compete in the contest. Anton will try to keep the momentum going from winning Philly’s Phunniest Person earlier this month. The grand prize for winning the contest is a whooping $10,000 and judging by the list of comedians performing, the competition will be steep.

Meg and Rob’s “Fog of Love” video has also been accepted for the “Imagine Movie Night” at Mottley’s Comedy Club next Monday. Here’s the video below for those of you that can’t make it up there:

In its ninth year, the festival started as a way to showcase New England stand-up comedy talent to bigger audiences and the entertainment industry. Since then it’s expanded to include acts outside of the area along with national stars such as George Carlin, Gallagher and this year Lewis Black, performing a show called “Let Them Eat Cake.”

Anton Shuford is the 2009 Philly’s Phunniest Person

Dave Walk — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 14:15:00 +0000

So after two long weeks of competition and too many misspellings of the word “funniest”, a winner has been decided. At the Phinals last night (hey-o!), the judges, comprised of comedians (Kevin Brennan, B-Phlat), industry folks and other Philadelphia media members voted Anton Shuford as the 2009 Philly’s Phunniest Person.

Jared Gillespie took second place and Chip Chantry took third.

Going into the competition, Anton was certainly one of the favorites out of the 153 comedians to win it all. But Anton tells stories, and as a regular feature performer at Helium, he’s usually given 20-25 minutes to do so. How would he do with six minutes when every second counts? Turns out he did more than fine: the first line of his set for every round was “this story doesn’t have a beginning, so lets get into it,” quickly getting to the point. From there, a story about catching a foul ball at a baseball game with a constant stream of laughs and then a few more jokes with what time he had left.

I had the opportunity to briefly talk with Anton after he won:

Helium will host a show this Wednesday with all of the finalists (except for Anton because he may be in Wildwood) at 8PM.

The Philly’s Phunniest Person “Phinalists”

Dave Walk — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 06:23:04 +0000

Ladies and Gentleman, from this evening’s two packed shows, your Philly’s Phunniest Person Finalists are in no particular order:

Doogie Horner
Pat House
Chip Chantry
Anton Shuford
Jared Gillespie
Ed McGongical
David Ray
Jack Martin

Sunday night’s 7PM show will decide who wins all the marbles (that’s a phrase, right?). I don’t know about you, but the contest seems to be wide open. Who you got?

Philly’s Phunniest Preliminary Results for Tuesday, July 28th

Dave Walk — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:53:09 +0000

And so it begins. Dreams will be realized, and dreams will be crushed. A very energetic, sold out crowd last night voted along three comedians to the semi-finals and they are: Anton Shuford, Darryl Charles and Carl Boccuti.

I like talking about what the comedians talked about, because it makes no sense if you weren’t there. Anton got the crowd worked up by talking about a foul ball he caught at a baseball game, Darryl spent a lot of time on buying asparagus at the grocery store (I’m also a fan of the vegetable) and Carl used most of his time trying to decipher the language that his students use (he’s a teacher). So not typical topics you hear at a comedy show.

The contest continues tonight as more comedians will be voted on to the next round.

KNOW YOUR HECKLERS for this Wednesday at the Ministry of Secret Jokes

Dave Walk — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:11:00 +0000

At this Wednesday’s MINISTRY OF SECRET JOKES show, host Doogie Horner will have three stand-up comics facing one of their biggest fears. In the new game “You Suck”, three comics will be intentionally heckled by members of the audience. To prepare the comedians and yourself, Doogie has created this handful guide to the different types of hecklers. Get your “I don’t come to your work…” retorts ready.

The Ministry of Secret Jokes show is this Wednesday at Fergie’s Pub (1214 Sansom) starting at 9PM. Anton Shuford, Derek Gaines, Doogie Horner, Luke Giordano, Chip Chantry and Kent Haines will be performing.
