Morgan Fairchild…yeah, that’s it!

Last night (Saturday, 16th), we saw Jon Lovitz perform at the Funny Farm in Atlanta with the Ryffster and his lovely wife D. While Jon is very well known for his movies, tv and voiceover appearances, he only recently began doing standup, at the behest of Dane Cook (of all people).

Ok, so he wasn’t as ‘on’ as Greg Proops was when we saw him recently, but for someone who grew up with SNL and has pretty much enjoyed Lovitz in anything I’ve seen him in, I was pretty pleased. His delivery, to me, is great. I love the unsure, self deprecating stuff.
:)

The standup was a little slow and uneven, but Jon has a great personality and you could tell he was pretty relaxed. Like he has accepted his lot in life (cameos/voiceovers/ironic commercials), and was just happy to have the chance to perform. For me, the highlight was by far toward the end, when he did a series of songs about how his pal Bob Saget is NOT gay. He ‘remixed’ several well known songs, and in this reporters humble opinion, has a very good singing voice.

After the show, i handed my email address to a young lady who was sitting near us with a camera and asked if she would email the pictures she took. She did, this morning, and as a bonus included a video (thanks Vanessa!), which is below also.

If you get the chance to see Jon, take it. It’s kinda cool being 5 feet away from someone who has done so much and has been involved in some of the best comedy of our lifetime.

And now, the media!
