Ballgame’s Review

by Brendon Mulvihill on June 17, 2010 in Stand-Up

I took a bit of a blogging break, but I thought we’d jump start things again with a good old fashion review of this week’s Ballgame’s Laugh Lounge.

If you have not been by the show in a while, Red Rock continues to make the upstairs lounge classier and classier. And by classy…I mean adding a purple valuer curtain to the stage area. Pimpin’. The place looks great though and it has come a long way in the past 4 years.

Fresh off her new writing gig at Chelsea Lately, Christina Pazsitzky killed it again with a bunch of new stuff. She’s so smooth. But since I’m the president of her fan club…I’m biased. Karl Hess and Ben Gleib were excellent as well. Hess has the most distinguished voice in comedy. Not voice in the ethereal but his actually voice. He’s so precise with his words. And Gleib was doing some GREAT material on religion.

Finally we were treated to the musical comedy stylings of Kirk Zipfel. Now…musical comedy can be really annoying…but Zipfel is different. First, he’s clearly a great guitar player. Second, when you are singing about butterfaces and making fun of the riff Jack Johnson can play, you’re cool with me. Kirk is one of the most underrated comedians in the city. I dropped in a video below. Check it!
