Not a laff riot, but funny nonetheless, Rocky LaPorte brings a down-to-earth Italian-American attitude to the comedy table (or stage, rather). Drawing on a deliberately dumbed-down stage caricature of the "stereotypical" Italian New Yorker type, he shares his funny views on all aspects of life (including such staples of the comedy scene as marriage). He keeps the entertainment value going at a steady pace and shows smart word-play for some of his best laughs. Naturally, he isn't afraid to use his fun-poking at the Italian American crowd (from which he comes). LaPorte's amiable personality helps sell the show and his stand-up doesn't have the edge the younger crowd expects, but it doesn't mean he isn't funny. There's a classic vibe to his stand-up that is charming and familiar. I could easily have listened to more of his humor than is packed into this CD. Well done, Rocky. You should open a comedy club called, "Hey, Laugh at This." Listen to the CD and you guys will know what I mean. (Uproar) Visit www.musicvideodistributors.com.

Upchuck Undergrind listens to a little bit of a lot of things - just note the eclecticism of his reviews. He also reads voraciously and loves movies. He is a very open-minded Episcopalian (and student of Buddhism and Hinduism) who thinks Slayer is one of the greatest metal bands. Ever. In addition to his work with Corazine - for which he has written since its inception (he is a Fishcomcollective veteran) - he also writes for DJFix.com.
