Act 2: BigBoned Comedy returns to BBC Wednesday
"Some of us just don't fit in comedy clubs," said Arthur Hinty a founding member and performer in BigBoned Comedy, a troupe that makes its second show Wednesday night at BBC. "They're the McDonald's of entertainment -- everything is designed to be bland and inoffensive, people drop in willing to grab whatever happens to be on the menu, and an hour later they can barely remember what they ate. That's just how the club (and the audience) wants it."

Comedian Doug Stanhope is lewd, crude and obnoxious. He has been described, in the same paragraph, as a lazy, drunk miscreant and one of the funniest men in America. He's coming to soon to a club (BBC on North Ave.) and an election near you.
