Bad smell in Beantown, Pt. II CORRECTION

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on September 16th, 2006

Ladies and gentlemen, the finalists of the BostFest contest:

Floyd J. Phillips
Daryl Lenox
Stewart Huff
Russell Bell
Brad Upton
Shane Mauss
Dan Boulger
Sierra Mist’s “Next Great Comic” Ryan Hamilton

Frank Santorelli also made it into the finals, but we’re told he dropped out due to another commitment. It appears that Brad Upton was not included among the announced winners from last night’s semifinal, so we’re assuming that he is taking Santorelli’s place. It all goes down tomorrow night at 7 PM. (Correction: Upton performed in the second semifinal, and apparently did not substitute for Santorelli as we speculated earlier. Curious, as Upton competed against Santorelli in Bracket 6 on Tuesday night’s prelim. If anyone can clear this up, you know where you can reach us.)

Earlier, we hopped onto the BICF website. Saw this, on the righthand column, under the heading of news:

Congratulations!

There follows a list of the contest prelim winners. Scrolling down, we see:

Prelim 5
Lamont Ferguson
Kjell Bjorgen

How very odd. How very, very odd. Stay tuned. It might just be a web jockey slipping up on a few keystrokes here and there. Scroll down on this page to read our account of Tuesday night’s Prelim 5 if you’re not familiar with the particulars.

Also: We noticed that The Male Half is listed as performing on the Festival Favorites show at Nick’s, Saturday, 8:30 PM. We were not informed of this. It ain’t happening.
