L.C.S. UPDATE: RE-UPDATED!
(Editors note: When the occasional LCS nugget comes in over the cyber-transom, we’ll just put it at the top of this posting and make it float to the top.)
We hear that Sean Rouse advanced from the Hollywood “auditions.”
Someone named Dante posted the following on a comedy-related chatroom (we take no responsibility for the punctuation):
Last comic standing…..was awesome!
I won last night out of 34 killer comics…me, John Reep, Rick Overton, John Caponera, Dwayne Perkins and 2 female comics all moved on to the finals!!!! I won the $1000 Capital one audience choice award. However I was told that I would have won either way!!!!!!!!!
I am going to win the whole thing this year!!!!
Not sure if it’s authentic. Dante, by the way, is an ancient Italian name and it means “One who can’t quite grasp the subtleties of a non-disclosure agreement.”
This gives us pause: “…I was told I would have won either way.” What we have is a delightful stew of a contest and a reality show. A cockfight in Juarez probably has more integrity.
We like the fact that he named all the guy comics by first name and last name, but the others were “2 female comics.” EDITORS UPDATE: Thea Vidale and Becky Pedigo are rumored to be the “2 female comics” alluded to in the post.
The above allegedly took place at the Hollywood Improv……Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”
Our Book!
I was at the show- some of the bigger names that did NOT make it through are Shang, Craig Shoemaker, “The” Greg Wilson, and Darren Carter. Thea Vidale made it through, Tig whatshername who’s on Sara Silverman’s new piece of crap made it through, as did the woman that played the hooker in Borat. Dante won the audience choice award, and probably had the best set of the night (I’d say it was either him or Rick Overton). The most interesting thing to me as a comic was seeing which headliners couldn’t compress the funny into 3 minutes- being so used to 45+ minutes it seems most of the headliners on the show tend to start a little slower than comics that normally only do shorter sets, and they couldn’t do a solid 3 minute set. All in all, they do seem to have picked better comics this year than in years past, and not strictly on what management contacts someone may or may not have.
