“She’s a nine, I’m a one.” says Ralpie May. “When we stand next to each other, she looks like a one and I look like a big 0. Together we’re the perfect 10.”
Ralphie May and his wife, comedian Lahna Turner have announced that they will launch “The Perfect 10” Podcast on August 1st on iTunes and Stitcher. “It’ll be different from everybody else’s. We’ll mix sketch comedy with music recorded live from the Mercy Lounge in Nashville. We’ll have segments like ‘Cooking with Porn Stars’, ‘The Redneck Report’ where we call up a bonafide redneck buddy and a black friend for ‘The N****r News.’ Lahna never smokes weed, so we’re gonna get her high as balls and recreate my greatest stoner moments. I’m going to be her weed sherpa.”
Geek Comedy Showcase II: Laugh Harder
[GEEK]
It’s back folks! The laughs strike back with the Geek Comedy Showcase II: Laugh Harder. Featuring five of Middle Tennessee’s FINEST comedians, the Geek Comedy Showcase brings you the best in fandom funniness.
What is geek comedy? If the content can be found at GMX, that’s what you will find at the showcase. Material focusing on comic books, sci-fi, fantasy, horror, science and technology, action figure collecting, video games, cartoons, Dungeons & Dragons, cosplaying….these are the bricks that make up the Castle Greyskull of humor which we know as the Geek Comedy Showcase. We’ve heard all the jokes before about one’s lack of athletic prowess, flailing marriage, lackluster bedroom life, inane run-ins with law enforcement and arguments with the in-laws. That humor is for the Muggles! GMX is the Geek Media Expo, and it calls for a special brand of comedy and a special type of comedian. Prepare yourselves. These special comedians will have you laughing into the Delta Quadrant!
