OKC's Funniest Person - Leah Kayajanian

The Loony Bin Comedy Club's annual Oklahoma Comedy Competition is now over, and the winner is Leah Kayajanian. Leah killed it both nights, and clearly deserved her victory.

You can see Leah every week at Othello's in Norman, and frequently at the Loony Bin and 51st st. Speakeasy. Earlier this year, Leah also won the University of Oklahoma's Funniest Person award. If you are not familiar with her, do youself a favor and check her out.



Congrats also goes out the 2nd place finisher Brian Stephens and 3rd place Stan Silliman.

Even though I didn't make it out of the first round, I was very happy with my set, and the competition was still a lot of fun and provided invaluable inexperience. I look forward to competing again next year.

2009 Oklahoma Comedy Competition

This Wednesday, August 19th I'm taking part in the Loony Bin Comedy Club's annual Oklahoma Comedy Competition. This is only the second comedy competition I've taken part in, and the first that could actually mean something. My doing well in this competition would get me closer to getting booked as emcee for a week the Loony Bin (which is the next comedy hurdle I need to jump). Twenty comedians will compete Wednesday night, with the top eight moving on to the finals on Sunday, August 23rd. I know I have a very slim chance of winning, so my real goal for the competition is just to move on to Sunday night. I'm quite excited about it.

My set at the Loony Bin OKC 2/4/09

Here's a recent set from the Loony Bin in Oklahoma City's open mic. I'm pretty happy with this four minutes and have been doing this set at the Loony Bin for a few weeks and been having quite a bit of success with it.
