Last night I had the immense pleasure of karaokeing with comedian/impression-doer/all-around delight James Adomian, who will be headlining tonight’s Laff Hole (Chop Suey, $7, doors at 9). You’d probably recognize Adomian’s George W. Bush impression, which has been all over the place for the past half-decade, and was the best part of Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. If you’re lucky, you might also recognize him from last night at the Crescent, where he collaborated on “(I’ve Had) the Time of My Life” with two drunk secretaries, much to the twitterpation of onlookers.
Also performing tonight:
Luke Burbank (Too Beautiful to Live)
Travis Vogt (watch this, please)
Performers from the upcoming Seattle Sketchfest (probably funny!)
Emmett Montgomery’s mustache (flaxen!)
It’s going to be a great, great show. You go there.
Here’s Adomian in a genius performance as drunk Orson Welles (cf):
And here’s Adomian last night, performing Neil Diamond’s “I Am, I Said”:
Amazing. The man is a wizard.
hmmm….young Neil, pre-sequins and hairspray, was kinda hot…
Sometimes Jewish men who start to lose their hair think going poofy is the answer.
No one, but no one, had any idea that the young Neil Diamond who used to wear black jeans (before anybody) and high-healed boots while stomping out “Cherry, Cherry” would become the zillionaire lounge act that he morphed into.
Holy fuck…that impersonator is good.
Orson Wells imitation is bore-ish and cheap….and there is simply no point to the second. What, to show how he can lipsinc and camera shots? Help me out here….where is the wizardry?
Orson would have loved it – plus – he would have eaten the props and insisted on in cash payment for the work and be broke by the next week… and he would have sucked off the male cast as well.
Great parody of every element. Funny to those with a mocium of a sense of humor …. who is boorish? Try it on #3.
