Johnny Hardwick (right) with David Bearden as part of "Piranha" at Cap City Comedy Club.
Went to the Cap City Comedy Club tonight to watch my old friend Johnny Hardwick participate in Piranha, a twisted version of TV's reality show "Shark Tank." Instead of entrepreneurs pitching business ideas to tycoons, the up-and-coming comics do a five or ten minute routine, and afterward the panel of pros (including Johnny) bid on specific jokes.
This is such a great idea. It's part stand-up comedy, part improv (during the joke bidding), and part game show to see which comic gets the most money for his or her jokes. I've got to figure out a way to bring something like this to the music scene.
