Pit Stop Comedy from TBS

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on October 20th, 2006

October 23, on TBS, look for Pit Stop Comedy featuring the standup of J. Scott Homan, Tim Wilson, Jon Reep, Steve McGrew and Marc Ryan. At least according to the Pit Stop Comedy MySpace site. (We scoured the TBS.com site and couldn’t find any evidence of it. Not even in their online program schedule. Perhaps this is all an experiment in the power of MySpace to drive people to the show. Hmmm…) Regardless, the MySpace site says that it will feature…

…the biggest, most boisterous comedy acts that you may not have heard of, but America has. Take a look under the hood and inside the comedy engine of southern comfort comics.

NASCAR and comedy. A demographic marriage made in heaven… or Atlanta, in this case. (Editors’ note: The show was actually taped in Las Vegas, during the ’05 Las Vegas Comedy Festival!)

In a related story, SmallTownNation.com is the creation of Jon Reep, who confesses to feeling somewhat out of place in the big city coming, as he does, from tiny Hickory, NC. He describes it thusly:

I went online and started my own small town, SmallTownNation.com. It’s an online community of small towners, like MySpace for rednecks. People join up and trade pictures, video and stories about goin’ to “the river,” or cruisin’, or trailer park parties they have, or any of the crazy stuff you do to entertain yourself in a small town. I’ve also got professional comedians from small towns who have their own pages here. It’s fun as hell. So join the nation, and get you some Townitude.
