For those noobs out there who are not watching the Live Uncut shows that happen daily here on TMB, John made a little announcement.
John and Doug made a script, wrote a movie. And now they are making said script into an actual movie. I will let John get into the bigger details of this, but one of the few things he mentioned on tonight’s show was that semifrequent Uncut guest Ashley Oxford was going to be in it as well as Canadian Comedian, Manolis Zantanos.
John mentioned that Manolis had his Comedy Network special on YouTube so I go and check him out. Well he is funny enough, so I want more. I start surfing around and that’s when I found this special little gem.
Doug and John ran into Manolis (friend and colleague of Doug’s) at FanExpo in Toronto 2 years ago and he tells the story of this Collage he did of Alice Cooper in highschool that he GAVE to Alice Cooper (through Cooper’s daughter) and then years later asks Alice about it in front of a pile of fans at FanExpo during a panel. Apparently Alice Cooper liked the collage so much he hung it up in his restaurant. In the vid Manolis gets closure and finally finds out about the fate of his collage gift to his hero.
This guy scores high on my cool meter already and he is really funny in a genuine “guy telling a funny story at a party” kind of way.
Don’t drink pop when watching his comedy. All I am saying. Your nose will thank me.

It’s hard to watch every episode since every episode isn’t posted up…
The episodes are live. Anyone can watch them as they are posted live.
Typically the next day the episodes are posted to be watched.
All I said was that if you were not watching you wouldnt have heard John’s announcement.
I love that I’m wandering around in the background, like a sasquatch.
That was an awesome and mighty tale. It’s always great to see dreams fulfilled.
Not everyone can watch them live though. I would much rather be watching them live than doing Calculus for 3 hours…I just wish that they were posted up right after so I could watch them when I get home. I need an upper after college, and uncut would most definitely fulfill that need.
