    Anyone checking him out tonight at The Laff Stop? I'd never really heard of him until I got my XM Radio and became addicted to the comedy station, but I believe he did those Rolling Rock ads a few years ago and he got the Meow treatment from some Super Troopers. He does this thing like a running commentary from the audience during his bit. For example, he's laying into Country Crock, then, in a softer, higher voice says, "Jeez, I hope the Country Crock people aren't here tonight...that'd be awkward". Eh, it's funnier if you hear it.

    AB, do you know this dude?

    Didn't he also do some commercials for ESPN a number of years ago?

    I find that his substance might be just par but his delivery is really what sells his act.

    Overall he's in the upper part of my comedian list.

    I really wanted to go, maybe I can still get tickets for saturday, but I need a ride from College Station to Houston and back. His Manatee bit is one of my favorites, where the manatee is berrated on the Ricki Lake show. "You need to get a job." "I live in the ocean." "You live in the ocean cuz you aint got no job."
