Giggles Comedy Club packed a room full for the Pre-Thanksgiving Special.
Host Johnny Pizzi started the evening talking about kids asking a number of families how many kids they have. One family said six, Pizzi was startled and said, “We remember things about the first one we don’t remember about the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth.” He said the first child is the one we most remember about when they’re born because they are the first, and when you take them out of the hospital you wrap them up good and keep everyone clear from your newborn because you don’t want any germs near him.
Brad Mastrangelo then took things over at Giggles telling everyone he grew up in Chelsea, and moved out of the city as fast as he could because he could speak English.
“I love Spanish people,” said Mastrangelo asking if there were any Spanish people in the audience. “None? I hate those…I’m just kidding.”
Talking about the holidays, Mastrangelo laughed, “I went to Wakefield High School. We played Melrose one year and I got so…faced I ended up at the Woburn/Winchester game. Don’t laugh at me, the guy next to me was rooting for Brockton.”
Paul D’Angelo took the stage talking about how women love the fall season.
“I remember when my father would talk about my mother would look out the back window in front of the kitchen and say, ‘Jack, its foliage, take me and the kids on a trip. We want to see foliage,”’ said D’Angelo. “My father would be in the back with a rake, ‘I got 12 bags full with… foliage. Why don’t you and the kids take a trip to the gutter.”
The man with multiple impersonations, Al Ducharme had the room in stitches saying, “I live with this absolutely gorgeous woman, she is stunning, and I’ll be honest, she is totally out of my league. She just moved in upstairs, I live downstairs with my wife.”
Pharmacist/Comedian Artie Januario said, “Halloween just passed, that’s one of my favorites because that’s an easy holiday, you don’t have to do any cooking and arguing. If I buy candy I like, no body shows up. If they do, here’s some Dum Dums and Smarties and…get out of here kid.”
Tony V laughed up a storm talking about ham.
“Maybe they will open more ham stores, like a 24 hour a day drive through Ham Emporium. The Hamarama, you don’t even need money, you just get like a speed pass from the ham line, and they drive through, and they chuck a ham in the back of your car.”
V ended his ham jokes telling the audience that if you hear a thud it means the ham is in.
Graig Murphy then took the mike talking about Dunkin Donuts and how they should change their slogan to, “Dunkin Donuts, supplying your car with napkins for over 35 years.”
Concluding the evening, Pizzi read a list of shows, and movies Lenny Clarke has been in when Clarke said, “I’ve got more failed pilots then an Iraqui Air Force.”
Talking about gambling at a casino, Clarke said, “I went to pick up my beer and I got a midget. I screamed, he screamed, I rubbed his head, rolled the dice,” explaining that he won getting an 11.
