Absolute Comedy: March 24, 2011

Thursday March 24, Absolute Comedy
Geoff Mackay/ David Acer/ Ali Hassan/ Dave Paterson


Host Dave Paterson came to the stage with a big smile and rosy cheeks, then proceeded to compare women to chicken wings- very accurately. The crowd loved his easy going personality and jokes about how much he cheats on his girlfriend (in her
dreams).


Next up was Geoff Mackay, a local comic, who never fails to impress the audience. The crowd responded very well to his joke about the ‘baby on board’ signs on cars and he ended on a tale about homosexual sky diving.


Ali Hassan arrived on stage and began his set with a bolt of energy. At one point he pretended to have a small penis for the sake of a joke, but then clarified after the punch line. His stories about eggs and testicles were a great success.


When David Acer came to the stage, he didn’t waste any time. He immediately put his crotch into a man’s face and everyone fell in love with his relaxed style and hilarious material. Mid-set, he began to reminisce about a joke he told a few minutes prior. Acer was clearly a professional, his best jokes were his interactions with the crowd. He ended with a magic trick and left everyone in a great mood.


Absolute Comedy receives a What To Watch this weekend.  The crowd enjoyed the show, and left feeling they received their money's worth.
