comedy review

Dan March - Goldrunner

Unexpected Productions

Is there any comedian who isn't incredibly proud of their status as a loser? Dan March, however, won Blockbusters (yes, the gameshow) in 1991. Apparently it was his only moment of glory in 35 years. He plays us the video, but the rest of the hour was totally scripted and although each joke was funny, they could be broken down easily into some kind of comedy formula. We had the loser comedian, talking about his inability with women (that seemed to be his only real failing as well, as if picking up women is the only measure of how great you are as a man) and talking about his encounter with a Lady-Boy. This looked like it should be funny but instead it was just following the rules.
