Comedian Brian Posehn performed at the Funny Bone at The Greene over the weekend, showcasing his signature brand of jokes about StarWars, heavy metal, comic books, flatulence and being a dad.
After two rousing openers, Posehn hit the stage insisting that the audience could take their thinking caps off, because the evening was about to get a lot dumber. Apparently, dumber is better because even though it wasn’t a sold-out crowd, the laughter was loud enough to fool you into thinking otherwise. If the best comedians make jokes that you can relate to, then Posehn was the best possible comedian for this comic book devouring, Metalhead to see for my first trip to a comedy club.
Needless to say, I laughed so hard I nearly choked a couple of times. Unfortunately for you, dear reader, about 90% of Posehn’s material was unprintable. I can give you a little taste, however. He mentioned how he was wrestling his three year-old son, when his son pointed at his, shall we say, noticeable belly and asked “baby?”
To make a long story short, Posehn informed the audience that apparently three year-olds cannot take a head butt. Yes, it was a gloriously politically incorrect night of revelry to be had by all.
