Show Comedy From fiont pctge Hawcs said the more liberal use of foil r-let to r words won't be the only factor differing from other comedy shows in Utah. "What makes it different from the normal comedy show where you go and pay to see two different comedians is that the whole show is intense," lluwes said. "It's all on a more hyper level than a normal show where you just wait for the guy to come out on stage. From the word 'go' to the ending statement, it's an event." Along with Allen as host, disc jockey James Reese will put a spin on the average comedy fest by interacting in skits -and dialogue with the comedians and audience as the show goes on. At each side of the stage, 10-by-10 big screens will be set up to display video footage. Allen said Reese will provide as much flair to the musical side of the entertainment as the comedians will give to their routines. "Reese is the guy who really invented the remix. You know, he's one of the old-pro DJs he's incredible." In addition to tonight's com edy show and party, the comedians will be present at a press luncheon at 1 1 :45 a.m. in the Shepherd Union Junction. They will also be broadcast live on K.WCR 88. 1 from Mr. Rags in the Layton City Mall. The cost of Comedy Jam tickets ranges from SI 0.50 to $15 in advance and S I 2.50 to $20 at the door. To order tickets using a credit card, call 626-8500 or1-800-WSU-TIKS; or pick them up at the Dec Events Center ticket office or the Ogden City Mall customer service booth. When it really comes down to it, Allen's advice to the more conservative critics of the show is simply put. "Get real." The Def Comedy Jam tour hasn't come to town to offend anyone. They've come to educate, to entertain and to give its audience a chance to experience a different cultural tradition. "That's the problem with the world. We don't know each other's cultures. 'We're all the same,' they say," Allen said, in a mocking tone. "No we're not! Not to say anyone's better than the other, but we all have different cultures, and when you learn that, you learn the world. I truly believe that." ; s f 1 Comedian and producer at On Point Productions, Larry Allen, above, will host tonight's Comedy Jam at the Swenson Gym, and William Hawes will stay busy while making things run smoothly and having a little fun with the DJs at the same time.
