AltCom! Comedy Fest
The Metro – May 8th, 2008

Edited By Selene Angier

For every watered-down mainstream stand-up routine, there exists, in a bizarro world, a bunch of twisted whackheads doing their (read: your) version of funny. In other words, if you aren’t a fan of Dane Cook’s frat-boy schtick, you’ll shake your lobster claw at the sky and say, “Yes! Fellow weirdos!” when you read AltCom’s lineup. Check out tomorrow’s Metro for our interview with Patton Oswalt; also performing you’ve got Lexington native and “Flight of the Conchords” super, Eugene Mirman, along with Todd Barry, Emo Philips and others.
