Comedy Nest - Brian Lazanik, Joey Elias

Just came back from a show at the Comedy Nest and I must say it was really a great evening of laughter. It started out slow, with ok opening acts. Then, out of the blue, appeared Joey Elias, my personal favourite local comic (and probably in my world top 5). He dropped by for a short 10 minute improvised set about how he lost weight. He did lose weight, but he gained brio and wit in the process. I found him rejuvenated with a new style, contradictory (in a good way) to his previous nonchalant attitude. Anyway, it was funny as hell...

Then, Mr Headliner Brian Lazanik came in and started talking funny (kinda like a retard) to the mic. I though this was just a short gimmick but it lasted for an hour. If a comic can last an hour talking like some stupid idiot lunatic and not have me annoyed, he must be pretty amazing. And he was. His show consists of mostly witty one liners who remind me a lot of Larry David's humour in that they challenge the traditional way of looking at simple things and twist them in completely un-politically correct ways. I found around 75% of his act to be excellent, the rest just bubbling under in the good-to-great category.

A real fun evening!
