Monday Night Laughs cracks up BSU

Story
Monday Night Laughs gave Boise State’s aspiring comedians a slice of the limelight and, ultimately, a chance to make ‘em smile.
Presented by Student Programs Board, the event sees all manner of comedy but yields only one winner.
And the spoils of that victory include a chance to open for the Kings of Vegas on April 21.
The evening got off to a hilarious start with first-up Truman Bishop. He covered familiar territory, joking about how the Boise Tower is probably a hole that leads to China.
Next in line, Mundek Clement-Stein humorously hypothesized that smoking pot could help people accomplish great things, only he couldn’t remember any examples.
Later, cheerful comedian Sherry Japhet said since her dad was a redneck and her mom was from Thailand, she’s a necktie.
She went on about her gay brother who would play with her dolls, having Ken say to her Barbie, “You just don’t have the Kung Fu grip G.I. Joe’s got.”
Carla Paterson took the stage next saying, “It’s a God given right to be able to laugh at other people’s problems.”
Danny Magnolia joked about how his inheritance was wasted by his brother’s 10 years in college.
Brandon Follett rehashed his routine about his grandparent, who dressed as a prostitute so a serial killer could do the job of assisted suicide for the family.
Nick Sceirine took the stage and wrapped a condom around the microphone commenting that you can never be too careful.
He said in his hometown, the only people born with silver spoons in their mouths were mothers who masturbated with heroin skillets.
Don Ritchie got on stage setting a timer and said he knows the importance of getting off.
One joke Ritchie told was when he thought his wife was having an orgasm, but really was getting the wind knocked out of her.
The evening came to a climax when master of ceremonies Vicky Shaw did her routine and showed the local wannabes a thing or two about being funny.
Integrating her life into her routine, most of her humor was built in the contrast between being a lesbian and being from Texas, or being brought up a Southern Baptist.
Nick Sceirine (the condom guy) took first place and will open for the Kings of Vegas Comedy Tour, Friday, April 21, at the Taco Bell Arena. The crowd was in hysterics throughout much of the night.
