The Inaugural Episode of The Laugh Riot with Josh Reynolds

Baron Vaughn is a New York City based stand up who's career is taking off like an Atlas rocket. He's been featured in several nationally syndicated television commercials; you may remember him ruining a co-workers lunch in an AOL commercial or espousing a secret love for country music in a Radio Shack spot. He's performed on Broadway with the Manhattan Theater Club and performs constantly in dozens of clubs around New York. He's also a featured act in this years HBO Aspen Comedy Arts Festival. Baron is intelligent, articulate and, most importantly, exceptionally funny. His website is "www.baronvaughn.com", but for a more complete schedule see his myspace page "www.myspace.com/baronvaughn." The musical act for this episode is Stepper's Heaven. This Boston based group is phenomenally talented. Their mix of Reggae, Blues, Soul and Rock and Roll is not only original and exciting, but also shows the kind of musical craftmanship not often seen these days. Bobby Bishop (the clumsy ninja himself) has a voice laden with authenticity and versatility. Terrell Brown and Bobby pass the lead guituar baton back and forth throughout their sets and, though she doesn't have nearly the number of years behind the axe that he does, it's tough to tell when they switch. Eric Meyer and Mark Smith round out the ensemble with complex rhythms and deft bass work, respectively.
