Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show

This seems more like a link for Tommy’s site, but here’s a story about Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show. Big Vinny puts on a show that features a few of his little known buddies.

They also have a MySpace site, with blogs etc.

I think it’s also worth mentioning that one of the show’s stars Ahmed Ahmed is about to embark on another tour the Axis of Evil Comedy Tour.

The Axis of Evil Comedy Tour is a show created by 3 of the top Middle Eastern/American comics in the world today - Ahmed Ahmed (Punk’d, Farhenheit 9/11, The Wall Street Journal), Aron Kader (Premium Blend, The Shield, Newsweek) and Maz Jobrani (Friday After Next, The Interpreter, Curb Your Enthusiasm). Like “The Real Kings of Comedy” and “The Blue Collar Tour”, this show features comics who have similar ethnic backgrounds.

However, what makes this show so important is the timing. Given how Middle Easterners are portrayed today in the media, these three comics, who have either been born in the US or grown up here, have taken it upon themselves to show a different face of their people. Having come up at Mitzi Shore’s World Famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles where legends like Sam Kinison, Jim Carrey and David Letterman came up, these comics cross over well to the mainstream.
