It’s snowing, Nashville! HOLY CRAP! Someone call off school and rush out to Kroger! While we await our inevitable, icy deaths.. let’s look back at a couple videos produced the last time it snowed in town.
Does this face look familiar? Maybe you’ve seen Jon Reep on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing”, Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend” or the half-hour special “Comedy Central Presents: Jon Reep”. Maybe you’ve seen him on TBS’s “Pit Stop Comedy”, NBC’s “Late Friday”, or the ABC Sitcom “Rodney” as Officer Gerald Bob the dim-witted cop. If not then you probably know him from Dodge’s popular ad campaign as the “Hemi guy” – the redheaded hillbilly in the Dodge Ram commercials who leans out of a beat-up car and utters the now famous line: “That thing gotta Hemi?”
But before that Reep was already one of the hardest working comics in America, selling out clubs and getting standing ovations at college after college across the country. The show is supersonic energy filled with non-stop characters, super clever writing, and, of course, the one talent that separates him from all other comedians in the world: he’s the best redneck dancer since Elvis.
Here’s a video Jon shot last time he was in Nashville. Warning! It’s funny and safe for work and stuff, but you should know that at some point Reno Collier appears dressed in drag, with a midget dressed as a baby suckling his teet. (OK, if you just read that and you still don’t watch this video, we can’t be friends):
If you’re still with us, here’s some video of Jon’s stand-up as aired on Last Comic Standing:
Jon Reep is at Zanies Thursday thru Saturday (They’re closed Sunday. Something about a football game or whatever? Who knows.). Get your tickets now!
You might have seen Tom Green roaming around Nashville this week with a little video camera in his hand and a lot of wackiness in his head.
There aren’t many things Tom hasn’t done. He toured with his own rap group in high school, painted his parent’s house plaid, put a cow head in his parents’ bed while they slept, humped a dead moose, survived testicular cancer, turned his living room into a television studio and created the number one rated and longest running talk show on the internet, “Tom Green’s House Tonight.” One thing he has never done is a world stand-up comedy tour.
Scratch that off the list, too, because the TomGreen.com World Stand-up Comedy Tour kicked off Jan 7th in Edmonton, Canada – went through Atlanta, Marco Island Florida and Louisville. Tom and comedian pal Shawn Halpin have been posting videos from the road to “The Channel” at TomGreen.com.
The shows have been very fun, with Tom doing jokes about his life and career – including the pranks he pulled on his parents, his marriage and divorce with Drew Barrimore; stories about the movies he has made; his appearances on tv as part of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice; plus pop culture jokes and plenty of random sillyness.
The crowds have been surprisingly awesome, considering the big snow that hit Nashville this weekend. Tom’s fans came out in droves, completely undeterred by the cold. It seems like the only people who weren’t there were those that just kind of randomly show up at the club not knowing who is performing.. which has been kind of nice. With audiences full of fans, it seems like Tom has been able to take them to very weird places without losing them at all. The responses have been absolutely amazing.
If you haven’t made it out to the show yet, tonight is your last chance! Tom’s last show starts at 7:30, but to get a good seat, you should definitely get there early. Get your tickets now! The roads aren’t bad, but give yourself an extra few minutes to get there safely.
If you think you’re funny, come sign up for the open mic portion of the show. We’re giving away $50 to the winner (as decided by the audience and/or host Chad Riden, America’s Favorite Comedian Of All Time) and the LOSERS each get a can of consolation Fresca. Everybody gets 5 minutes. Go over your time and you are disqualified. Limited number of spots available! Don’t be late.
Be there at 8:30 to sign up, show starts at 9.
