Thursday in Serna Plaza, UNIQUE held a comedy showfeaturing multicultural stand up comics and more than amusingresults. The “Ambassadors of Comedy” covered just abouteverything from Sydney, Australia, “the gay capitol of theworld,” to the experience of growing up in Bangladesh. Therewas quite an impressive line up with Jeff Hodge from “DeuceBigalow, Male Gigalo,” winner of the International StarSearch, Gerry Bednob, and quite a few others who definitely livedup to their occupation.

The only thing politically correct about these comic acts wasthe fact that they left no one out. Every race, culture, body-typeand sex was ripped up, torn apart and stepped on, much to themerriment of the audience. Bednob was the king of one-liners, withjokes like, “If a deaf guy loses a finger, is it considered aspeech impediment?” or “If I’m a piece of shitand you expel me (from high school), does that make you anasshole?” Another one-liner was, “since my uncle losthis arm and legs he’s been more down to earth.” Bednobconfessed to being rejected by the hit reality show”Survivor” because the producers claimed he had toomuch experience.

The acts began with Larry Omaha, who was on America’sFunniest people. He’s convinced God has a sense of humorbecause, “there are a lot of bald guys out there walkingaround with hairy asses.”

Ron McGhee was of Irish and Korean descent. McGhee won firstplace at Orange County’s Funniest Human Alive and was afinalist on “Last Comic Standing”.

Georgia Jean was the only female of the group, but thatwasn’t a problem for her. According to Jean, her problem isthat men in America generally shy away from women with more hair ontheir bodies than the average monkey. She came from Australia to befamous and is now regular at the world famous “ComedyStore.” She’s a female version of Austin Powers, hairyback and all, and isn’t afraid to share that with theaudience.

The host for the night was Willis Turner, who, between checkinghis cell phone and dodging mosquitoes, talked to a couple of loudmouths in the audience that turned out to be more annoying thanamusing.
