Live Comedy L.A.

Lauri Roggankamp is quickly becoming one of my favorite comedians to see in Los Angeles and she simply crushed Ballgame’s Laugh Lounge at Red Rock on Tuesday night. She has two qualities that I think are going to take her a long way in comedy - she has developed her own unique voice and she knows no boundaries (not too mention a little thing called great material). I love her…I really do.

There were four, totally obnoxious drunk chicks in the front row that most of the comedians were having a difficult time handling…Lauri was such a pro in how she dealt with them…she called them out like the whores that they were. STELLAR!!! If you read this blog…trust me…go see Lauri. Her jokes about Mexicans on the room, her body, and eating will put you the floor.

Lachlan Patterson is also fantastic. He’s quick and his rhythm is spot on. I’d love to see long set from him. I’ve seen three short sets…I feel like I could watch him do his thing for a while and not get bored at all.

Brand Vestal, Jonny Loquasto, Jamie Kaler, and host Rebecca Michael (filling in admirably for Matty Ballgame Balaker) all did a nice job. And I’d like to give special notice to Adam Hammer. Adam did a bunch of dirty material that I think he was just trying out…and that takes a lot of guts. It was a little forced…but you have to do it. Nice work.
