NJ Comics Light Up the Stage on NBC’s Last Comic Standing

Last night I was all pumped up to see the return of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, one of my favorite reality competition shows. The show has helped discover some of my favorite comics.

What was more exciting was seeing an article posted earlier in the week and recognizing some of the comics listed!

Back in the day, I used to work at a local comedy club in New Brunswick, The Stress Factory, and my boss was none other than Vinnie Brand who competed last night. Although Vinnie was only seen in the very beginning of the episode, it was still really cool seeing him on screen and then later hanging out in the green room with the other comics.

Another comics I recognized were Erin Jackson and Mark Normand, both comics who performed at the club while I was working there.

The comic who stood out to me, and who I’ll be rooting for in the next step of the competition is Dana Eagle, a comic originally from East Brunswick, which is the next town over from me. Dana had a great set and I’m hoping she’ll go far. 

Be sure to watch this season of Last Comic Standing this season and cheer on Dana!
