Congratulations to winning comedian, Luke Gaston, in last night's Joke Box! Luke crushed the game and his stand up set! Definitely a crowd favorite. Mitch Jones was SOOO close it reminded him of his days as best of fest in NY. Mitch is a formidable Joke Box opponent and crushed his stand up set as well. Chet with the surprising -- had to go to the audience to the break the tie for winner -- moment. Clearly Chet was in a David vs Goliath and Goliath situation. Maybe next time, Chet!
Congratulations to trophy-winner, P**p Sock, MD (1,590 points) for being audience big winner of the night! Shout outs to Snacky (2nd place 1,528 points), Mo Zip (3rd place 1,449 points). TIGHT RACE THERE! Also, thanks to the entire audience for coming out in force and playing -- especially -- Sticky, Pao, Gurgatron, J dawg, ButtholeLikcer67 (and thanks for explaining why 67), Boogers and everyone else!
Thank you Dayton O'Donnell for your great work as Quizmaster. Thank you Andre for running tech!
