Last night Allison and I watched Ralphie May: Girth of a Nation. Ralphie May was one of the funniest guys on Last Comic Standing and probably should have won. But he didn’t, so what, he still got a comedy special. His special Ralphie May: Girth of a Nation had us rolling with laughter. Ralphie certainly is not PC, he prides himself on it. His bit about being at a black movie theater watching the opening previews for Open Water was ridiculously funny. He didn’t lean on fat jokes, which we saw a lot of from the Last Comic Standing days. He had more material than that and the material he had was fresh and new and very funny.

Mike Birbiglia
Mike Birbiglia is probably one of the funniest comedians I enjoy listening to. Mike keeps a Secret Public Journal online that anyone can read and the journal entries are hilarious. Mike is doing a stand up tour across the country and he has a few CD’s for sale too. You can check him out on MySpace as well as on his videos from YouTube. Mike has a great skit about being afraid of bears. He recently came very close to a grizzly in Alaska, I guess that he may finally get over that fear of bears. Here are a couple of Mike’s CD’s that you can get from Amazon.com.
