So loud, obnoxious and just not funny. Like a gay Joan Rivers without the writing talent. LAUGH WHORE was on last week, and we could only stomach it for 30 minutes or so. THe Jim Morrison bit was inspired, the rest tired. He did a bunch of imitations (imitations without any jokes) that went on far too long.
I'd rather have my teeth drilled than see him.

I guess I am in the minority here- I like Mario. He is funny and over the top and he knows it! He is just having fun.
Saw Laugh Whore in Feb and it was a great show- a fun ride for 90 minutes

AMAZINGLY funny.
Love him to death! His comedy is just to die for. His Judy Garland was great:
"Does anyone know what my name old name used to be? Francis Gumm, that's right! What a marvelous homosexual you are!"
Ahhhh, some goood stuff there.

Posted: 6/6/05 at 4:41pmIt definitely fits. And a great moment from a wonderful show (but you can tell I'm biased hehehe)

Posted: 6/6/05 at 4:46pmSorry...but I don't care for Mario Cantone's style at all. He's way too brash for my taste and comes off as trying way too hard to be funny.

When did loud and adventurous become obnoxious? Sometimes it seems like we've all become too polite.
I, for one, think Cantone is a stitch. God love him...even when though he misses occassionally, he always goes for it 100%. That's the sign of a true performer.
