Jimmy Jacks Classic Rock Cafe 11/20 Monday, November 21, 2005 - 04:45 AM Jimmy Jacks drew a crowd that demanded you be funny. It was a crowd that was totally different from the other nights of the sem-finals. So much of comedy is not a cake walk of "A" rooms where the audience will laugh at everything you say. No, that's tomorrow night at Swannie's and even there intelligent humor wins out. This was a room that would laugh if you were willing to sell yourself and what you were saying and that is part of the reason why this is such a difficult contest. The comedians who make it into the Competition face a wide range of venues and a wide range of crowds. Some crowds will only respond to intelligent humor. Some will not pay attention to jokes with subtle nuances that make them hysterically funny. As a comic, you have to judge the room and present the material you think will work best or you will not fare well at all. Speaking of how people fared, this is the top five for the night: 1. Heneghen Going into the last night of semi-finals, all 10 contestants have finished in the top 5 at least once. The point spread is so small that a hundredths of points are what separates this field. If you rounded the scores to an even number, seven people would be tied for third place. Seeing how this is a contest where only five of the ten people advance to the finals, you get an idea of how tight this race has been and how tight it is going into the final show of the semi-finals. This event will not be decided until Monday night at the Comedy Underground. I hope you can join us for what promises to be an amazing show. - Wally Glenn |
