Dougie was ROBBED!!! He was on his game! Original, physical, varied topics, timing, seguays, He had the room lol the 90% of the time he was on stage. 5 finalists. They called off 5, 4, 3 - "hey there's 2 envelopes with Chris' name on it." They should have stopped & recounted right then & there. Doug & Moon are up there looking at each other. Moon won & he was SHOCKED!!! So was the audience. But it's union at the casino & they HAD to clear the room b/c they were already over. It was actually a 4-way tie. they were judged by: delivery, stage presence, audience reaction, timing, originality, length of set. DOUG DID COME IN 2nd, (for the 3rd time) but the hall was empty by then. I felt bad for him. Alot of people went up to him afterwards in the hall & told him he should have won. I've shown my friends at work other tapes that I have of him & they think he's hilarious, He's played lots of clubs & private parites, etc. If you Google him, he's on the first page as "Dougie Phillips - Best Upcoming Comic". This isn't discouraging him - he's gonna make it BIG!
Everybody was funny in their own way. The 1st guy - widen your set, your fat, we get it, pick on something else. Elvis Costello - don't let your kid hear your routine, she'd be scarred for life. Speed Racer - u r funny as hell, but damn u filthy. Slow down & stop stepping on your lines. U R going 2 make it BIG!!! Moon - U funny, best wishes...
