Class It Up

The Killers of Comedy are not for the faint of heart. Comprising contributors to the Howard Stern Show, the group takes a no-holds-barred approach that hits audiences with jokes that Dane Cook wouldn’t tell with Ray Romano’s mouth. The show begins with Shuli, an Israeli-born funnyman who touches on Judaism and smoking weed, and continues with the Reverend Bob Levy’s foul-mouthed audience-baiting, Yucko the Clown’s sex-and-race gags that would make Richard Pryor blush and former Stern producer/Newport Beach resident KC Armstrong’s tales of misfortune. Like all good acts, the finale is where it’s at. That’s when Beetlejuice, beloved member of Stern’s Wack Pack, asks females from the crowd to come onstage so he can eat bleu cheese from their asses. Each performance is littered with references to the gangly King of All Media, but there is enough material for those unfamiliar with the program to be as grossed-out as those who understand every inside joke.
