Eric Rezendes
I actually booked Eric for this show without ever seeing him perform live or on video.  I've never done that.  He was hosting a show I was headlining.  There was a facebook message thread we were both tagged in where Tony Carr (who did reccomend Eric to me) mentioned that I was a dirty bastard.  Eric's response was "dirtier than me?"  It was that moment that I knew I liked him.  Most comics are sissies.  They try to stay as far away from filth as they can.  When I find someone who embraces it, I embrace them.
I did work that show with Eric and I knew I made the right decision.  Eric handled that
crowd exceptionally well, which
was quite the task.  They were an awful crowd.  Worst I've ever seen.  But, Eric is quite badass.
