Gary Hood, the promoter at Laffs Comedy Cafe, knows how to get Weekly staffers to blog about his events. Just call them, grovel, tell them dozens of cut-rate jokes, harass them to no end, tell them some good jokes, call them back to harrass them again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

Eventually, the TW staffer will cave in out of self defense and blog about the damned event, which actually sounds pretty funny.

Apparently comedian Scott Kennedy is gay, but not that many people know it. He does this schtick where he wears a football jersey and acts all macho, only to come out at the end of the show. I hope I'm getting this right, because all I can remember right now is some joke Gary told me about having midgets blow smoke into his lungs, and it's making it hard to concentrate.

Anyway, Kennedy is performing at Laffs Comedy Cafe at 8 p.m., 10:30 p.m. and midnight, Friday, Oct. 16; and 7 p.m., 9:30 p.m. and midnight, Saturday, Oct. 17. Gary says he'll pass a hat to collect donations for Wingspan at both midnight shows.
