In our Nickelodeon Funniest Mom posting, we left out the URL for Regina Smith‘s website. How unlike us. Regina, you will recall, hosted the whole affair.
SHECKYmagazine.com editor BRIAN MCKIM (left) takes self-portrait alongside comic extraordinaire DAN WILSON at Wisecrackers in Allentown, PA, Saturday evening. Note: That is not a ceremonial Aztec headdress on Wilson’s head, merely an optical illusion caused by the capture of some of the Ramada’s 70s vintage decor in the photo.
Wilson reminded us that McKim was responsible for him getting his very first official road gig (back in 1984 or 1985, at Going Bananas in Philly).
After careful analysis of Wilson’s act this past weekend, we concluded that he is one of the original alternative comics! Hard to categorize, always surprising, always wickedly funny! The Midget Wrestler bit, Rudy Vallee singing hip-hop, the whole spectacle is riotous.
We had a blast this past weekend– in spite of the fact that one of us (the male half) lost most of his voice and had to resort to cheap whiskey to anesthetize the vocal chords long enough to croak his way through the two Saturday night sets, resulting in a Tim Wilson-meet-Slingblade delivery.
