Stand Up Comedy - Harland Williams!
Ever seen Dumb and Dumber? How about Half Baked?
If you liked those movies, you're probably a fan of Harland Williams.
In Half Baked he played the role of Kenny. The harmless stoner kindergarten teacher who got busted and sent to jail for killing a diabetic horse (Buttercup).... by feeding it all his munchies. This event kicked off the main plot of the movie. A bunch of stoners selling weed to bail their buddy out of jail.
His role in Dumb and Dumber was much shorter. A cop who pulled over Harry and Lloyd for speeding, saw a 6 pack of open beer bottles (used to pee in), and ended up taking a big swig... not as important, but funny none the less.
In any case, Harland was EPIC. He's really engaging, makes the most of the audience and plays off the interactions really well. Some of the jokes were perfect because of the facial expressions made and the reaction of the crowd, writing them out wouldnt do them justice.
That being said, if you really want some of my favorite jokes from last night, ask in the comments section and I'll list off a couple.
If you have the chance to see stand up comedy, big name stars or even a local open mic night, GO! Smiling never hurt anyone... even if you laugh at the really un-PC jokes....
I landed in LA once and was like "I wonder if there are any good comedians on tonight?... I lucked into a show featuring Dane Coon, Drew Carey and Harland Williams, that they were putting on to raise cash for a friend of theirs that was sick.
Probably one of the luckiest, awesomest things ever, with 3 amazing comedians.
I got to high five Drew Carey! And fist bump Dane Cook!
Got to fist bump Harland too! Wasn't into handshakes... flu season and all. That sounds like an epic trio you got to see!
Yeah, literally within 3 hours of landing, too. It was so lucky!
I love how Drew Carey gets up and is like "So who knows me from The Price is Right? Yeah? Well, you're all in for a fucking treat!"
The f-bombs come out when he's not helping little old ladies guess the price of a vase lol
Lol he is so funny. Canadian comedians are so good. The funny faces he made after drinking the pee were epic.
