Caldera Tap House Holiday Show – Dec. 27, 2009

by

First off, thanks to everyone who was in town for the holidays that came out to our show at the Caldera Tap House on Sunday.  This was the single biggest crowd we’ve had for a Sunday show – the pub was at capacity by the time Scott May took the stage, early in the night.

Levi Anderson mastered the ceremony, introducing a truck driver, Dave Cray from Maine, to do a short Open Mic performance, before going on to rant about all the holiday gadgets that made waves this year.  When Scott took the stage, a standing room only crowd enjoyed hearing his gift shopping at Victoria’s Secret story, and laughed heartily through anecdotes of 4-hour erections and favorite back tatoos.

Headlined by Tyler Foley, who took to the stage around 9:45 and held the crowd until nearly 11:00, the show definitely entertained.  Foley kept the audience in his tractor beam of hilarity with his stories of banana innuendoes, life-guarding at the YMCA, and getting out of Chinese Dick Traps.

All in all, there was a healthy dose of funny this past Sunday, and a very enthusiastic audience that we can’t wait to see back for the next show.  Stay tuned to this website for video clips from the show, or fan up with us on http://facebook.com/blackmarketcomedy to be updated of future events and locations.

Hong Kong Komedy – Oct. 04, 2009

by

The Hong Kong Bar hosted another Sunday Night Stand-Up featuring the Black Market Comedy Team, including Scott May, Tyler Foley, and Levi Anderson. The night was hosted by BMC’er Dan McLaren and featured some Open Mic before and after the featured sets. The highlight of the Open Mic was Hunter Greer, with his bag of Mixed Nuts.

Aw No!! Not the Angry-toothed Beaver!!!

Also in the crowd this night was a boisterous Brigette Nielsen look-a-like, who tried often to direct the show according to her alcohol-fueled mood swings, but took a strong slap from both McLaren and Foley during particular parts of the show. Anderson let her know that this room was no place to outlet her rage of  “Flavor of Love” getting cancelled, and Foley got her confused with the female arms dealer from Beverly Hills Cop 2. When she didn’t back down, Foley smoothly turned her recommendation for using Quaker Oats as sexual aid around on her with a racy joke about his raucous years as a 4-year-old.

Hong Kong Komedy – Sept 20, 2009

Lordy, lordy, the show that almost didn’t happen.  Sorry, we didn’t get any video this time around (except the shameless plug below), but the night turned out well.  Three (3) of our comics called in sick this Sun., we had no working microphone, and the crew had added and pulled show events from Facebook enough times to thoroughly confuse our fans, ADD/ADHD or not.

Sunday Night – Live Web Blast (Sept. 20, 2009)

But, we luckily had three (3) new comics who wanted to give stand-up a shot, and an ample enough audience to deserve a good show, so the remaining BMC decided to go for it.  Levi “the Wrangler” hosted the evening, introducing three (3) newcomers: Scott, Victoria, and Adam; followed by a 25-minute set by Tyler Foley.

The lack of microphone allowed the audience to participate a little more than should be healthy for an amateur night, but Levi and Tyler had a blast with the outspoken members.  First there was the old bearded guy from Talent, who wouldn’t share his weed but wanted to share his Michael Jackson joke.

Old Guy: What do Michael Jackson & Wal-Mart have in common?

Audience: GROAN.

Wrangler: That one’s too old to be funny anymore.  What you haven’t heard is what Michael Jackson’s first words were after he lost his virginity.

Old Guy: What did he say?

Wrangler: His ABCs.

The Wrangler then proceeded to do a little song and dance to “A.B.C., 1,2,3.”

Later, while instructing the men how to extend a second orgasm after sex, one female in the audience thought she’d share with us that she could have ten (10) orgasms at a time, easily.   The Wrangler then traded web addresses with her, directing her to https://blackmarketcomedy.com, and in turn getting her private webcam link.  Yeah!

Tyler Foley soon took the stage, first redeeming himself from an earlier joke by one of our amateurs about his ineptitude at properly replying to the phrase, “I think my ass is getting bigger.” In all fairness, who wouldn’t go to Google for help? Foley continued to entertain with his take on the paradox of hating racists, how he may have contracted AIDS, and being a pool life-guard for convicted rapists/murderers.  These aren’t the kind of life skills you can get just anywhere.

Levi “the Wrangler” Anderson tells us how easy it is to get your medical marijuana card in Oregon, then talks about being approached to sell cocaine. This was from the Aug 23, 2009 Black Market Comedy show at the Hong Kong Bar in Ashland, OR.

Sunday Night Comedy

by

Catch Black Market Comedy on Sunday Nights at the The Caldera Tap House in Ashland.

The show starts with a Stand-Up Open Mic, where newcomers can try out their chops at around 9 o’clock. Then we finish with a big steaming pile of Black Market Original Comics. The show normally goes ’til 11pm.

The tentative schedule is listed here, as we generally perform every fourth Sunday, but occasionally the months have 5 weeks and it gets confusing.  Sorry about all that.

Previously, the group performed at the Hong Kong Bar in Ashland.  If you saw these guys there before, and are hoping to catch more Black Market Comedy, head on over to The Caldera Tap House every fourth Sunday instead.
