We got an email about who won the contests at the L.V.C.F.: “Winner of Royal Flush (I dont know who the other top two were): A kid with cerebal palsy named Josh Blue won the $10,000… Uncle Lar won the whole thing the big $25,000.”
COngratulations to Josh Blue and Larry Reeb!
We got another email from a comic who participated. The following is but a short excerpt:
When she said “I’m a judge,” what she SHOULD have said was “I’m THE judge.” This PA or intern, or whoever she was, was THE judge. A comic, no. A booker, no. Just a festival runner of some sort with a clipboard, taking some notes and marking on a template. There was someone else giving the comics the light but she was not writing anything down. “Wow! This is a contest?” I thought surely that there would be…say…a panel of maybe three judges all with some sort of insight to comedy, or at least with a good sense of humor. Club owners, bookers, Paula Abdul, someone, anyone but ONE gal connected to the festival? Come on.
Sounds… interesting. Read the whole thing.
