I went to see Tony in Houston with some buddies this past weekend.

Tony brought in some guy from Houston named Javier, Kim Congdon, another chubby girl from KT (Splatt) who was funnier during her 1 minute KT appearance than during this interview, another unfunny female comedian (forgive the redundancy), Hans, Casey, and Cam.

Cam mainly repeated some old material.

The star of the show was Hans. His writing, timing, and delivery were the best I’ve heard him do. He knows he can get away with racist stuff and it was hilarious [chefs kiss]. It damn near warranted a standing ovation.

I gotta admit, Hans had a better set than Tony who seemed to focus more on striking poses. Dude looks like he’s been working out and wore skinny jeans tucked into some weird boots and a tight fitting jacket to showcase his physique. Yeah, I noticed. I might be a pitcher. Side note - Tony looks much shorter in person. Might be the same height as Rogan.

But Casey…oof. He had the misfortune of following Hans’ awesome set. It was like he was giving an homage to the jittery theatrics of Robin Williams without a single punchline to let us know he even attempted to write a comedy set. Neither myself or friends could muster a laugh during his time on stage. The only people laughing were the same people that were previously laughing at anything and everything. His KT appearances seem to be the same - a few lines from an old song (with a call-back to that song later), a few drug references, and just the same words/phrases over and over again.

But during this episode, it hit me that THAT is what I don’t like about him. I just can’t get into, “get lost, alright, Irish stuff, come on, cool, get lost, lock the bathrooms, give a moose a muffin, give a mouse a cookie, cool, get lost, so dangerous,…” while briskly walking around stage while changing direction.
[facepalm]

If I had to come up with one redeeming observation about Casey Rocket, it would that his song about stretching a quarter has potential.
