Opie and Anthony Traveling Virus

Hi all,



The Pictures below are from a comedy show that I wen to on Saturday from PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. It was a show sponsored by Opie and Anthony and had all of the fan favorite comedians from their show.



I'll start with the tailgate which was amazing. A lot of the people from the FBA fan site met up at the Cheesequake Rest stop on the parkway and caravan over. There were about 50 of us in a line. We all set up tents and chilled. Talk about a spread: Besides everyone having there own tailgate grills, there was also 2 six foot grills set up that cooker some hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken wings. One of the Pests owned a farm so he brought 4 Watermelons and a virtual shit load of Corn.



In the parking lot there were fire eaters, Lots of WOWing (which all OnA fans know what is) and just plain old camaraderie.



Inside the venue they had a village set up. There was a Clown Dunking booth set up, a guy on stilts walking around, a magic show, Jim Norton Signing Books at a booth, Mick Foley from the WWE (and ECW for those of us that prefer to remember him that way) signing and taking pics, and the band Octane performing.



Now to the show:

Opening Up was Rich Vos. For those of you that just know him from the show, I urge you to see him do stand up. He is great.

Nest was the Winner of Car Crash Comedy Husan Husan. He was truly terrible and was booed off the stage. i felt bad for the guy but when you are doing comedy in front of 12000 ravenous OnA fans you really need to bring it.

Robert Kelly was next. he was featured on Tourgasm on HBO for those of you who don't listen to OnA. He was spot on.

Patrice O'Neill was next and he was as offensive as ever. A lot of blue sexual humor coming from him that was fantastic.

Last for the First Grouping was Bob Saget. For those of you that only know Bob from Full House, you really don't know Bob. He is quite possibly one of the bluest comics out there. It is not shocking that he Does this comedy it is more shocking to the people that know him that he was able to pull off "Family TV".

After a break where they had a nice group of "Adult Entertainment" On stage, the last three comics took the stage.

First was Louis C.K. I have seen Him do stand up before but he was funnier then I have ever seen him. One of the highlights was when a group of fans were tossing around a beach ball and He got it on stage, had relations with it and tossed it back stage after telling the group where they can put the beach ball (I'm really trying my hardest to keep this blog clean).

Lewis Black was next and he was back his roots. Bringing up news items and not getting overly political. Fantastic stuff. The highlight for me was when He said that BS Newspaper(which they all are) should have a rule to have one headline that makes everyone laugh so hard that the milk from yesterdays coffee come out there news. His example was from a newspaper that reported "Hippo Eats Dwarf." He said after that he knew he was in for a good day.

And Last but not least was Jim Norton. When a girl tried to interrupt him so that she could throw her panties on stage he berated her so much that only an amazon wouldn't have left in tears. fantastic Stuff.

It was a great show that I could not urge people to check out next time it rolls around.

Also for those of you not listening you really should at least check out OnA. They are on XM 202 as well as 92.3 in New York. They are also syndicated throughout the country.
