| 03/08/2010 – Judging Arkansas' Funniest Person 2 - Little Rock, Arkansas |

I had the honor to be a judge in this year’s Arkansas’ Funniest Person contest. Although a co-founder of the event and an original host, I felt it would be better that the winner of last year’s AFP be this year’s co-host. Chucky D did a great job and kept everything flowing alongside Angry Patrick. Despite some small logistical issues, Chucky D and Patrick kept the show moving and entertaining for sure.
I had a blast judging alongside the other judges. Erik Meyers is a national comedian that had me laughing so hard that my stomach and jaws hurt when he closed the night’s contest as the Headliner. The third judge was Jeff Cage.
The layout of the venue added challenges to the contestants but several overcame to prove their drive and desire to win. I have to admit that I wanted to ‘Simon’ a few of the comedians but felt that with the intimidation of a large and at times loud crowd made things difficult enough for some of the less experienced. Getting on a stage is VERY hard to do but a comedian has to own overcome that, hard audiences, and maintain. I fully support all of the comedians that advanced but there was one or two that didn’t make it that I in fact voted high for… This proves that the crowd has a HUGE impact to who advances. There is still a save the comedian option available through online voting. Most of the comedians in AFP can be found on State of Comedy (http://www.stateofcomedy.com).
I had a great time and I will be present once again for the next preliminary round to root on more Arkansas’ Comedians. Good luck to all of those that will be competing and great job to those that have already.
On a side note, I do appreciate all of the love from the folks in the audience that said hello, the hugs, drinks, and references to my Un-DOC-Umented News. Un-DOC-Umented News can be heard on The Point 94.1 between 5-6PM every Friday with Sharpe Dunaway and Mike Kennedy. You can also hear it on http://www.undocumentednews.com.
It was cool to see that the WTF Comedians were all present at the AFP Contest. The comedians include Chucky D, Tommy Kelley and me (Michael “Doc” Davis). For those that asked, yes I’ll post information on upcoming WTF (Way Too Funny) Comedy shows (http://www.wtfcomedy.com) on all of the websites soon.

What an incredible week of comedy and a fun way to end a holiday. I had the honor to perform at The Loony Bin Comedy Club in Little Rock, Arkansas with some of the funniest national talent I have ever performed with. The comedians were Headliner James Johann (http://www.Jamesjohann.com) “The Rural Genius” and Feature Susanna Lee (http://www.susannalee.com). James brought his insights and life’s reflections to the stage which kept me laughing every single show. He brought something different to each of the shows and ended them with just as much energy as he started with. Susanna was simply incredible!!! She also reflected on some of life’s experiences along with some extremely hilarious perspectives and even some dancing. Between James and Susanna, my stomach muscles are still sore as all get out. I also brought my flavor of comedy to the stage about local observations and some audience interactions, that’s right ‘a twist of Doc’. Everyone kept pointing at each other and laughing at many of the stories they related to. I have to admit that some of the audience made my job VERY easy (like a dude wearing a priest shirt / collar, catholic school girl skirt and heals), Wow!!! First thing that came to mind was that he molests himself… but I guess, don’t we all… hehehe. The Loony Bin staff was awesome!!! They took very good care of me and the other comedians and the audience. No one was EVER left wanting, GREAT food, drinks, service and it was a very comfortable atmosphere. You need to visit this place, GREAT PLACE AND PEOPLE! You can find more information at http://www.loonybincomedy.com. A huge thanks to Jeff Jones for giving the excellent opportunity on stage. I wanted to say thanks to all of those that came to support me and the shows. Some folks that I specifically wanted to mention that stopped to say hello after the shows included Rebekkah (role of quarters owner), Sharpe, Chucky D, Grant, Julio, Luke, Victoria, Shelly, Timothy, Chris G., Robert and Wife, Jim B., Christy, Dr. Love, Billy S. and Samantha, Michael, Carry, Kyle, Sam, Vikki, Mike K., Steve P., Sean, dude in the skirt and many others…sorry if I missed you in the note… I suck with names and remembering crap including my own, hehehe. I do love you all regardless and THANK YOU SO Much for the support. It was VERY cool to hear so many say they listen to The Point’s afternoon show with Sharpe Dunaway and Mike Kennedy and listen to my feature of Un-DOC-Umented News… awesome! Thank you everyone and HAPPY HOLIDAYS, Michael "Doc" Davis (Comedian, Entertainer, Event Host / MC) Website: http://www.comediandoc.com Tags: doc the comedian | arkansas comedy | Comedian | funny | News | comedy show | Michael Doc Davis | comediandoc | undocumentednews | Point 94.1 | loony bin | Contest | arkansas funniest person | james johann | susanna lee Hits: 1395 | Read more... |

| 2009 Halloween Events – Saline-O-Ween, West West End's Costume Contest / Party and Comedy Bingo |

I have to admit that this had to be the most incredible and fun Halloween weekend I've ever had. Pardon my grammar… LOTS of stuff to cover… Friday started out with a visit from a friend that I hadn't seen in a while and I tell you what… that was some GREAT visiting. I love the holidays! 1st - Saline-O-Ween – Benton, Arkansas: Saturday started out when I hit the stage to do a comedy set in the morning at Saline-O-Ween - http://www.salineoween.com in Benton, Arkansas. This was an outside event that was 100% family friendly with all kinds of stuff to do. The event benefited an organization called Within Reach - http://www.withinreachinc.org (Helps Youth that are Homeless). What a great job by all of those that put the event together. It was an honor to perform for such a great cause. From the stage I made some observational jokes about stuff like the folks doing ‘Tator’ sack races… ON ASPHALT! At first I didn’t think it was a good idea. Then I realized it was hosted by a local Boy Scout troop… I think they were after First Aid badges, funny stuff. It wasn’t as funny as the dude I saw later that was wearing a Batman costume that he likely bought 80 pounds ago. He had a smaller dude with him wearing the Robin outfit… that’s right… FATMAN and BOBBIN… hehehe. I did met some great people at the event for sure… some that I had only talked to via Facebook and stuff. Of course The Point 94.1 (http://www.point941.com) was there supporting our causes. See you all again next year. 2nd - West End’s Costume Contest / Party - Little Rock, Arkansas: Saturday Nights Halloween Costume Contest and Party was freakn’ at West End (http://www.westendsmokehouse.net) was awesome! I was the host and comedian for the night for the second year in a row. I enjoyed doing my comedy set throughout the contest and I had a BLAST!!! I went as the Lucky Charmer… I had a hat on with clovers that said, ‘I’m Magically Delicious’, Green shades with clovers on the lenses, a necklace made of lucky rabbits feet, lucky charms around my belt, a mistletoe ball above my belt (which everyone played with) and a role of lucky pennies in my pocket (hehehe). It paid off… I got lots of luck smooches from the ladies and LOTS from the very lovely Victoria. The contest was awesome with sexy, funny, scary and ‘what the’ costumes. They included the tempting eve’s (Amber with the broke duct tape tail snake) with apple, sexy bees, sexy cops, NO SCHOOL GIRL costumes… hehehe, the d_ck in a box guys, snipers, pirates, f’n pirates, snipers, smurf’s, blind SEC refs and last but not least… the winner of $500 (Head on a silver platter) with I renamed to divorce… hehehe. The Meanies ROCKED (http://www.meanpeoplerule.com) the entire night… AWESOME AWESOME!!! They are the absolute best 80’s and more cover band anywhere. Let me know if you want more information on them for booking. There are some pictures out there floating around and hopefully I can get em posted. To all the folks that made it out and stuff… you guys are AWESOME! Thank you for all of the kind comments about the show too… WOW!!! I wish I would have had more shirts to throw out. Thanks to West End and their wait staff, The Meanies, the Contestants, friends, fans… even some of my co-stars from the Tuckerman movie present . I love you ALL!!! Lastly - Comedy Bingo at Maumelle Park, Little Rock, Arkansas: This was the last event of the weekend and on Sunday afternoon. That’s right I was at a corporate event in Maumelle park playing games, chatting and then doing what I call comedy bingo. I had WAY too much fun with this… I was calling numbers and doing a comedy set at the same time… hehehe… how fun. I have to admit that some of the prizes made these folks take the bingo games VERY serious… but not as serious as people at an old folks home I called numbers for once, just ask me and I’ll tell ya’ the story. I have to say that the company that put this event on knows how to PARTY!!! This was a family friendly event with rides, food, games, climbing walls, more food, prizes and music… I had a blast and gained 10 pounds… hehehe. How was all this for an eclectic weekend!!! Happy Halloween EVERYONE and thank you all for the laughs, love and fun!!! You can hear me every Friday afternoon between 5-6PM doing my Un-DOC-Umented News to Yous (http://www.undocumentednews.com) with Mike Kennedy and Sharpe Dunaway on The Point 94.1 (http://www.point941.com). I will also perform Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving week at the Loony Bin Comedy Club in Little Rock, Arkansas (http://www.loonybincomedy.com/lr).
