Live Spot is Off And Running!
Who could describe the Live Spot Comedy's opening show at the New York Boston Comedy Club this past Friday as anything other than fabulous!  The show, which began at Midnight was on fire with performances from comics both new and known; and packed to the brim with
laughing and thoroughly satisfied customers!  You couldn't beat that action with a brick because it was just that thick in the Spot!  Hosted by Victor Cruz (Left), his poise, hilarity and quick wit, kept the audience enthralled and wanting more from the start!  On the line-up were Laz, who opened the blaze with his fiery and impulsive comedy followed by Gina Briche, who reminded us that Whoopi Goldberg wasn't the last funny women to hit the NY circuit!  It was like a song and dance as over 2 hours of comedy felt like 15 minutes because the jokes just kept coming funnier and better with every comic!  As advertised the Live Spot also premiered its Laugh Off segment where new talent perform for a spot as a part of the regular Line-Up the following week!  With great performances from comics Mic Diflo, Garry, Ishmael and Cynthia, it all came down to the performance and the audience's response moved Harvard Feller and Kelis out the LO and in the Spot!  But that was only the beginning of a night that would prove unstoppable, when Saturday Night Live star, Dean Edwards (pictured below) blessed the audience with jokes so funny you'd wanna slap yourself!  His impersonation of Denzel Washington was off the chain funny!  Next up was Mark Theobald who we all knew from the Dave Chappelle Show, Comic View and Showtime at the Apollo.  He ripped it up and the show still kept going as hilarious comic Romey Rome shined and our very own Eric Thomas, who gave us food for thought with his poignant and sidesplitting take on the world, achieved star status.  And of course closing the show was Gil T., who as usual was outstanding.  When the show finally wrapped with funny special goodbye note from our Executive Director Reed R. McCants, all the performers were proud to call it a night well performed!  It was truly a wonderful night!  At 2 am, not one person left (and people were still coming) until the entire show was complete and made fan fare around the comics who'd performed and given them more than their money's worth of entertainment!  The Live Spot indeed, will go down in history as the funniest comedy show in the City!   Every Friday night at Midnight, the laughter begins and keeps your head spinning with enjoyment!  Special shout outs to Lady Adeena and Vanessa who were not only in the house, but helped in making the Live Spot a success!  Everyone is talking about Live Spot Comedy at the Boston Comedy Club so make your reservations today because this show is a must see! 

Soon to come, the Live Spot Variety Show at the New York Improv beginning Tuesday, August 3rd, 2004!  You wanted entertainment, well LTG's got it!
