Joe DeRosa/February 18,2017/Burlington,VT

This was another fun night at the Vermont Comedy Club with my pal Adam. If you like your comedy extra dark,Joe is the man for you. He discusses depression,alcoholism,suicide,fat-shaming and a host of other fun topics. Through it all,he is totally honest,articulate,self-deprecating and laugh-out-loud funny.

I used to listen to Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast on a regular basis. Bill would regularly mention Joe's name on the show. So.....many thanks to Bill for introducing me to this very funny guy.

Let's hope Joe goes on to bigger and better things. His new special is called "You Let Me Down".

Matt Braunger/February 11,2017/Burlington,VT

I'm not sure why Matt Braunger is not a more popular comedian. He can be goofy,intelligent,articulate,and funny as Hell. I first heard of him on the Netflix special "Big Dumb Animal", and I proceeded to buy his I-Tunes albums.

My pals Adam and Josh accompanied me to this show at the fairly new Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington,VT. It's a fairly small but classy place on lower Main Street. I'm guessing a capacity crowd would be 50-100 people. We enjoyed some soft drinks and chicken nachos as the first 2 warm-up acts were on stage. I wish I could remember the guy's name,because he was really good.

Matt eventually came out to do about a solid hour of material. He covered all kinds of stuff,and it was almost all fresh to me. The closing bit about ordering Domino's pizza while under the influence of mushrooms was great. I hope bigger and better things come for Matt Braunger and the Vermont Comedy Club.
