Wiseguys Comedy Club with Bill Bellamy

      I mentioned in an earilier post how I've wanted to go check out that Comedy Club Wiseguys up in WVC.  Well last night I finally did it.  Sometimes on Fridays or even the rarer Saturdays Wiseguys does whats Called A Facebook Freebie.  At some point that day they're post a comment which will give you an hour to respond with your name, which Wiseguys location and which showtime.  If you respond within the allotted timeframe they will put you on the guestlist and you and one guest will get in for free.  So yesterday as I was getting off work, I checked Facebook to see what I had missed since lunch and Wiseguys was doing a rare Facebook Saturday Freebie.  I reponded and scored a Free Comedy Show to see Bill Bellamy which I took a friend from work to go with me.
     Since you probably don't know who Bill Bellamy is or even if you recognize the name but can't put a face to it.  Bill Bellamy is an Actor/Comedian.  Back in the 90's when MTV actually played music Videos he hosted a video show called MTV Jams.  He was also in the films Fled, How To Be A Player and Any Given Sunday (Al Pacino, Jamie Fox).  He also hosted two seasons of NBC's Last Comic Standing and the Fox show Fastlane with Peter Fascinelli (Can't Hardly Wait, Twilight Frachise) and Tiffani Amber Theissen ( Saved By The Bell, Beverly Hills 90210, White Collar).
     The first person to perform was a local news personallity named Big Budda (Whom we met before the show!)  He can be seen on channel 13 news weekday mornings.  It was only his second time performing Standup and he was actually quite funny.  He's this big Polynesian Dude and most of his act was about Polynesians in Utah.
    Then was a Nationally recognized and local Comedian named Marcus.  He was runner up in Last Comic Standing in 2008 the second year that Bill Bellamy hosted the show.  He's constantly touring and That Exposure has made him well known in Comedy Circles.  He usually Headlines Shows and I've wanted to see him do standup Live and since he gave no notice that he was performing for Bill Bellamy it was a total surpise and he Killed it.  He talked about how he got married last year, what his wife is like now that they are married, and about having or not having kids.

     Next was a comdian out of Vegas who has been touring with Bill Bellamy named J Reid.  He talked about their tour stop in Atlanta and how even getting jacked in Atlanta is different like being robbed by a gangsta type with a doorag and a Gucci bag, what its been like being in Utah and how theres nothing to do here,  and Black Gangsta Types wearing Flip Flops.  It was Hilarious and he Killed it too!
 
     Finally Bill Bellamy performed.  He performed for almost an Hour.  He talked about being in Utah, how Cougars (Older Woman who pick up on Younger Guys) have the sickest game he's ever heard and how he lost one of his homeboys to one the other day.  He also talked about Old people not driving,  his Drunk half trying to convince him to go for it on a first date, and his tool not working because of the drinking. 
     He also talked about how they do things different in Atlanta, Making it rain (Thats's when you take out a stack of Money and throw it in the air) and how he wasn't accustomed to it.  He said that they went to this strip club and how he had never seen anyting like it before.  He went into the VIP room and all he could see was green on the floor,  he was litterly walking on Money.  In the room was Rapper Jeezy with a big black trashbag.  Bill looked in the bag to see what was in it and it was full of cash all banded up. Jeezy took out $40,000 unbanded it and Makes It Rain.  Then Jay-Z came through, took out $100,000, like it was nothing and did the same thing.  Next thing he knows, he sees 50 Cent and boxer Floyd Mayweather in the club.  Bill does a killer 50 impersation and pretending to be 50 is like I see how it is, Jeezy and Jay aren't gonna top me, let me show you how its really done.  He then pulls out $200,000 and makes it Rain!  One of the strippers notices that he's Bill Bellamy tells him she would of never thought she would ever see him in there and asks him what he's gonna do.  Bill was like psh, I'm not gonna throw money like that, I've got two Twentys, I can make it Drizzle.  Needless to say Bill was the Highlight and he Killed It.
   I Hope to make Wiseguys a regular thing.  Its not too expensive, its usually only about $22 for a show. In fact I've already bought my ticked to go see T J Miller (She's Out Of My League, Welcome To The Greek, Yogi Bear) on the 29th.  I'm so excited.
