Michael Ian Black: I Am a Wonderful Man @ The PIT - 6.14.7
Michael Ian Black made the first of a brief series of NYC stand-up appearances at The PIT to test out material for use on an upcoming CD titled, I Am a Wonderful Man.
NOTES
--Topics covered included white power, the public relations successes of the Nazi party, tacos, a recent gig in New Orleans, him being not gay, him having kids, his tepid appreciation of The Black Crowes, and other stuff.
--Several college co-eds cooed loudly during a joke about art history professors' disproportionately heightened skills at railing their students. If honesty is what makes something funny, which area art history professor was banging half the people in the front row?
--MIB needs to be more mindful of his potential audience. Some visual elements of his set--such as the hand miming of his sphincter contractions--may be lost on his future compact-disc loving listeners.
--Michael still has two more small NYC shows in case you missed this one. If you've never seen him do straight stand up outside of Stella, now is your chance. It's almost as satisfying as an ice cold 2-Liter of Sierra Mist on a humid Summer's eve. Who knows when he'll be making appearances again.

He should also trade in the track jacket for a hoodie and not roll up his jean cuffs. Or just go fully tailored like P.F. Thompkins.
