An article in the Savannah (GA) Morning News (free reg. req.) contains an account of a recent staging of the VH-1 show Best Week Ever live, in a theater. Sponsored by Savannah College of Art and Design, to a sold-out house, the show featured comedians Aziz Ansari, Danielle Schneider, Mike Britt and Pete Holmes. Our favorite quote?
Fellow student Adam Mendell added, “I was amused. It’s not the funniest I’ve ever seen, but it’s not far off.”
Reporter Amy Morris used this quote to end the article. Ya gotta love them art students. (Don’t take a stick from Mr. Mendell… you don’t know where it’s been.)
The show was divided into two parts. In the first, each comedian did about 10 minutes of standup. Though most of the dialogue can’t be printed in a family newspaper…
The presentation was augmented by video clips and, we’re guessing, the tepid, celeb-bashing comments you’ve come to expect from the 20 or 30 similar shows that have popped up in the last three years or so.
After reading the above, we have a suggestion for the programmers at Comedy Central: How about Premium Blend Live! Stay with us! Four comedians come out and do 25-30 minutes of standup. Dynamite, or what?
