Courtside Countdown - Kobe's Week

Andres Du Bouchet is sooooo...--how should one put this without sounding hyperbolic?--let's start over. ONCE IN A GENERATION COMES A HUMAN OF SUCH EBULLIENT INTENSITY, THAT WHEN THE TIME IS RIPE, THE DEAFENING HOWL EMITTED FROM HIS VOICE SHALL QUASH THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH ALL FUTURE JUDGMENTS ARE MADE. UNSUSPECTING ELDERS WILL BE KNOCKED FROM THEIR GLASS TOWERS AND THE INCENSED, EMBOLDENED YOUTH OF THE NATION SHALL RALLY AROUND THE THOUGHTS AND BREATHS OF THIS ONE TOTALLY TALENTED DUDE.

For real tho--did anybody else see Andres' monologue show last night? He's doing some really stunning, quirky, unique, and imaginative work. The PIT just picked him up for a residency in November and mark these words, his boundless capability will soon enough cause him to appear in a column The Apiary calls, So Long, Irrelevant Day Job!

Andres is one of the best. A real talent.

[Liam M.]

True dat.

holy crap, Apiary - that was YOU sitting next to me taking those photos??!?

Apiary, you rock, for spreading the word about a comedian who so richly deserves is. Hopefully someday soon the industry will wake up to the talent that other comedians -- and insiders like yourself -- see so plainly.

And it's not just Andres who deserves a shout out (although the show you saw was just Andres) --the times I have watched or participated in a GTN production have always been awesome. The group is tight, prolific and f'ing funny.

Don't know why I didn't just write "fucking funny"... maybe it's because I'm such a lady.

Some comedians are better writers, others are better performers. Andres has somehow figured out to do both.

I think we should also recognize the entire GTN cast.

Fido, Reisman, Gordan, Douglas, Olsen and Birch.

I miss Rabbai, but I dig what Carr brings to the show.
