Comedy Night in New Stanton, PA

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on March 12th, 2009

We spotted the above sign quite by accident when exiting the highway in New Stanton, PA, a small town southeast of Pittsburgh. We thought we’d pop into the place and see who the comedians on the bill were. We didn’t read the sign carefully enough.

The Male Half inquired at the bar, “Who are the comedians on the bill tonight?” The gal behind the bar looked momentarily puzzled. A large, plasma television blared from the corner of the tiny bar. She briefly turned her attention toward the TV, pumped up the volume a bit more, then turned her attention back to the Male Half, asking him to repeat the question. “Who are the comedians tonight?” he repeated. She looked at him, again with a slightly puzzled look and said, motioning toward the big screen, “You’re looking at ‘im… It’s Jeff Dunham.”

Sure enough, it was Jeff Dunham. There on the big screen, either by virtue of a DVD or by virtue of scheduling on Comedy Central.

And actors are worried that CGI will some day obviate the need for real, live, flesh and blood thespians?
