let the voting begin...

Over the past couple of years, Steve and I have developed a new appreciation for the likes of stand-up comedy. I mean, really…what better way is there to spend an evening than laughing?!?! For two or three years now, we’ve been watching the reality show Last Comic Standing. The plot’s pretty basic; A bunch of comics go up…do their routine…people vote and the funniest moves on until (you got it)…there is one last comic standing!!!

Steve and I are not ones for reality television at all but, thanks to this show, we’ve found ourselves in stitches at least once a week due to some brilliant comic that we’re seeing for the first time! In turn though, we’ve also made it to the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and are developing or list of must-see comics for the near future.

Tonight is the finale for this season’s show and let me just say that there has been a great round of laughs this time around! They shortened the season this year (I imagine due to the Olympics starting tomorrow) so each night it’s been two hours instead of one and we’ve religiously parked ourselves in front of the television in order to get our ab workout for the day!

Going into tonight’s finale…I have two favourites! Both are hysterical, both are worthy of winning and I’m sure that both will go on to be very successful regardless of tonight’s outcome. Us Canadians are apparently not allowed to vote (even though we had a Canadian comic in the running up until last week) but, if I had to pick just one…my vote would go to Jeff Dye, the twenty five year old from Seattle. Now, I’m not just saying this because he is beautiful (Which he is! Girls…I’m sure you’d wholeheartedly agree and wonder where he’s been all your life!!!!), I’m saying it because I think he genuinely deserves it. Oh man…is he ever funny! Steve and I found ourselves in tears last week watching his set and anyone who can make me laugh that hard about being eight years old gets my vote.

Please…watch it! And ladies…enjoy the moment ;)

HAHAh my mother has mastered the forward button to, and I'm sure if she had a cell phone and was text shes probably think that the phone company was telling her off to! That was pretty funny I must say so myself!
