Location: The Biltmore Cabaret, Vancouver, BC
A monthly live-taping for Novus Network tv program ‘Paul Anthony’s Talent Time’. This month marks the return of comedian extraordinaire Hugh Phukovsky aka Paul Anthony. After 2 ½ years on hiatus, Hugh returned in all his zebra-panted glory.
Hugh is the 'punk rock custodian of comedy'. I'd liken his act to watching someone fart in their pants for 20 minutes. And yeah, I loved it! Hugh's set of new material sparkled, including a joke about 'doin it Greek-Style' aka in-the-butt (yes, folks, it was a Rated R program. R for Racy). Billed as a Talent Show, the night also included crooner Adam Olgi (sp), a B-Boy-Ballerina-Battle from the kids of DanceTron 2009 and a visit from a representative of P.R.O.D. (Permanent Residents of Disney Land). The only thing left was to bring up ECCW Wrestler of the Year (yes, 'real' live wrestling exists in Surrey) Scottie Mac for an interview and video presentation. Unbeknownst to Hugh, Scottie’s nemesis Moondog Manson, a rather stout, mulleted chap rushed the stage and announced his disgust with the situation. What should Scottie get all the glory?
Now with 2 wrestlers onstage, something went wrong. It was obviously planned that Moondog would POWER BOMB Scottie Mac, but the Dog inadvertently elbowed Hugh in the head, sending him flying offstage. I think it caught the comedian off guard, because Hugh got knocked the Phuk out! The show ended abruptly and the lights came on. Peeking behind the curtain, I saw a bloody-lipped comedian being helped offstage rather tenderly. I actually saw the egg on the back of his head, and a friend of mine touched it. Hugh stuck around after the show, but refused to drink any alcohol because he reportedly suffered a concussion. The crowd mostly dispersed, the cameras went away and the show was over. Or was it?! It’s never too late for a lil’ Karaoke! Tune in to the Novus Network where the show airs regularly, and don’t miss the next taping on April 1st! What time is it? It's Talent Time!
