Review – Headliners (USA)

I do love a good stand up showcase. If it goes well, you find new comics to look out for. If it goes bad, you get to watch someone flounder and die on stage (don’t act like you don’t love it!), but not for so long that it gets weird, just long enough to see the panic before their time is up… wow, this review got dark fast.

Headliners

Billed as a showcase of America’s hottest comedy, this show met all expectations. The four American comedians who took to the stage for 20 minutes at Hifi bar did not disappoint.

The Ian Bagg Show

Ian Bagg stood perplexed on stage. He surveyed the audience and counted the empty chairs. The Canadian is used to pulling big crowds. He is a regular on Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Tonight there were only 16 occupied seats. The Exford Hotel function room was a third full.
