Real Men battle it out in A.C.

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

That’s A.C., as in Atlantic City, not Air Conditioning. Although there was air conditioning at the Comedy Stop at the Trop last night. And an appreciative crowd in that sparkling, nearly-new venue. And a tremendous show in addition to a competition to see who would win the right/privelege/honor to open the Bud Lite/Maxim Real Men of Comedy Tour dates in Philly, Boston and Atlantic City.

The Male Half of the Staff battled it out with the above trio– L to R: Kevin Williams, Roy Johnson and John Razos— each doing six-minute sets in front of a trio of judges (producer Matt Komen, Trop proprietor Bob Kephart and an editor from the Atlantic City Weekly… sorry for not getting that name!).

The contestants were sprinkled throughout last night’s regularly scheduled show featuring Sam Fedele, Christine Stedman (pictured above) and Billy Garan (pictured below right).

Everybody had a blast in the green room, the crowd was enthusiastic throughout the show, all the comics– combatants and non-combatants– had sparkling sets. When the dust settled, it was Roy Johnson who came out on top. Congratulations to Mr. Johnson. He’ll open for John Heffron, Charlie Murphy and Joe Rogan next Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
