Operation Comedy @ Paramount Theatre in Anderson

[Palehorse]

My wife and I just got back from attending this event and if they hold one of these where ever you live you HAVE to go see this! I have not laughed so hard in DECADES!

The group puts these event on to benefit our nation's wounded military and their families, and I have to tell you it was worth the 15 dollar admission and then some!

Of course, with each bout of laughter must come some pain, and the pain started (for me personally) when Ockomon had to get his big ass up on stage before things got started. . .

Then there was the young man who followed him, who received an immediate and long lasting standing ovation from the sold out crowd. Although his appearance was painful for another reason. He had lost both of his legs in Iraq in 2006, and was sporting, (In my best Forrest Gump impression), "magic legs".

He wasn't up to be funny and he was not one of the comics, but he was funny none the less. His purpose was to thank everyone for supporting the cause that benefited him in adjusting to the result of his Hummer going over an IED, and taking his legs, breaking his arms, jaw, and half his skull. (He said he isn't brain damaged, just ask anyone in his family, they'll tell you he has always been this way). He was well spoken and had it not been for the fact he was wearing shorts to show off his magic legs, you'd have never known he had been severely injured. (He is a public representative for the Indianapolis Colts).

After that followed a warm up band, and 7 different comics that had us in stiches throughout most of the night! 

If you get the chance to see these guys, jump on it! FUNNY AS HELL!
