Thanks to Michael for re-doing the store so it finishes right there on the Your Downloads screen now. Makes it much smoother than it used to be to find the goods after the moolah is handed over.

At least I assume it was Michael. If not then thanks to the real hero.

10 = Perfect, 0 = Kill yourself, 5 = Pass mark


Trey - 8/10 Points up top just for mentioning the great Pat Dixon. No killer jokes but no duds either, just consistent and strong and very much at ease. Maybe a little tooooo at ease, but that's Trey, right?

Myka - 13/10 Best stage entrance any comedian has ever made and then continued being Myka Fox for two minutes.

Mike - 12.5/10 Comedy sniper. Laser pinpoint elite special forces accuracy. An incredible mind.

Jess - 6.5/10 Toughest spot on the bill following M&M and leant a little too far into non-KATG territory, or at least merely tangential KATG territory. Liked that she had the lips to get out early though.

Danny - 8/10 No wonder Mike Lawrence sees a young himself in Danny, because Mean Danny has what it takes to be a killer and his opening couple of jokes hitting Chemda and Ray are bullseyes. Unfortunately peters out a little but remains charming and watchable throughout.

Lauren - 7/10 The sound is out of synch and a little distracting at this point but that's not his fault. Stage presence is undeniable and his act never dips below completely engaging.

Jonnie - 7/10 Rhymes "show" with "show" to lose points up front. Seemed nervous but didn't back down and in the end pulled off an entertaining piece.

Big Jim - 9/10 Super impressed with this "non-professional". Some of the best jokes of the night and not a single dud. Loses half a point for getting cut off and half for some pacing being off, but apart from that absolute top notch.

Tim - 9.5/10 His delivery makes me laugh no matter what he's saying which gives him a wildly unfair advantage. A set chock full of bullseyes except a couple near the end which ping off the side.

Chase - 8/10 Seemed nervous on entrance but once he got into his flow I was right into it. Dipped a little near the end but overall very sharp.

Victor - 3/10 Fucking Victor. I get so hyped when he's coming up because he's so fucking talented but so fucking way off book here. Fiiiiiiinally started to get his shit together then he gets cut off. Nice job "professional".

Ray - 6.5/10 I love Ray but he seemed way underprepared for this. Goofily charming as ever but this set was short on laughs, and also falls victim to the dreaded cut-off.

Andrea - 9/10 Comes out swinging like a champ and KOs Ray, followed by a quick succession of other contenders. Tails off a little but after that kickass start she's so far ahead her place near the top of the standings is assured.

Ben - 9/10 Loved it. Clever as fuck and surprisingly epic for something which lasted less than 120 seconds.

Michael - 7.5/10 Right up front I was on board as he nailed exactly what first struck me the first time I ever listened to KATG. Impressively comfortable on stage too, maybe moreso than any other person that night including the hosts. The jokes themselves weren't A-grade but they also weren't duds and his delivery is so good it kept him entertaining the whole time

Chris - 7/10 Liked how he immediately called out that it was weird to invite him on to shit on everyone after only being on KATG once, but although he seems like a genuinely funny dude this little set never really takes off.

Myq - 9/10 The fact he takes a good long pause right up top of his set is testament to the fact he has star power up the wazoo. Clearly an evil genius although in this set his lack of shots at Keith and Chemda loses him a point.

JFOD - 8.5/10 Also has star power up the wazoo. A couple of nuggets in there but imagine how good he could have been if he'd actually prepared something.

[Mike C]

Thanx for taking the time to rate all of us! Much appreciated. :-)

[Keith]

Taking the time? I didn't see one thing about how great I was.

[Mike C]

Brother Love: Too damn nice. Just couldn't say a single mean thing about anyone -- how funny is that? Not Ooowww -- just Awwwwwwe.

Chemda: Said more under her breath than most people say in a day.

Keith: Raps like a 85 year old white man who is chasing "the damn kids" off his lawn.

Why I oughta...

Are you using VLC like some sort of crumb bum?

Whatever you're using, if that happens then stop it at that place and try again. All computers are different and even all players are different, but this file should be syncing gem mintly.

Thanks.
