News story from the Copper Gazette 1-22-11

Micki & Larry's Sports Pub hosted comedian Scot Shields and his 'Just Another Hangover Tour' Saturday night. The Pub was packed. Couples, friends, and whole groups filled the bar leaving standing room only.

The first three comedians didn't impress, but waiting for the headliner was worth the wait. Completing upwards of 400 shows Scot has comedy down to a hilarious science. Zinging out one liners, some politically incorrect, and hilarious stories of the life of a comedian had the crowd in stitches throughout his routine. There was only one noticeable lull in positive crowd response, it occurred when he cracked a joke about Prison Guards.

Though the din of conversation and rattling of background noise was sometimes intrusive, it didn't seem to faze Scot one bit.

In true Sports Pub fashion...Karaoke followed and the fun continued late into the night.

Comedian Scot Shields Hits Copper Saturday Night

Saturday night, January 22, 2011 at 8:00 pm, Micki & Larry’s Sports Pub will be hosting “Just Another Hangover” tour with Scot Shields. Touring with Scot on this trip to Copper will be comedian Danny Minch from Fresno.

Scot has entertained Copperopolis before to enthusiastic crowds. His humor reminiscent of the late great Rodney Dangerfield is full of innuendos, one liners, political incorrectness, and off the cuff gut busters. While some may find his humor slightly off, much like that of Dangerfields, he most certainly has something for everyone within his repertoire.

Harking from Humbolt County he followed the path of intellectual enlightenment receiving a double Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics and Physics from Cal Poly. Taking the path less traveled, that of comedy, Scot now entertains 10 to 12 months out of the year “barring incarceration.” He has missed only 11 states. In three of the states Scot toured he managed to receive a personal tour of the inner workings of the justice system, mainly the jail. In reference to one of those states he said, “It would take a lot of money to get me to work South Dakota again.” Though he didn’t let the cat out of the bag as to why…we can only hope the answer will be in his performance Saturday night.

When asked what kind of crowd he likes, he stated, “The kind that laughs.”

There is no cover charge, come and enjoy the fun!

There will be Karaoke before and after the comedy performance, provided by Pegasus aka: Craig & Shelly.

Laughter on the Road in Copperopolis ~ by, Charity Maness

Saturday night the Sports Pub brought in a hilarious form of entertainment to Copperopolis, a touring comedy show titled “Just Another Hangover Tour.” The headliner, harking from Humbolt County, which he inferred should tell you a lot, came on the scene in early 2003 and has been touring the US ever since; hitting luxurious destinations such as Puxico, Missourri at Cooter Browns Club, and Shattuck, Oklahoma at Young Guns Saloon claiming all the while “If you’ve heard of it…we don’t work there.” With such well known towns under his belt, it was only a matter of time before he landed in Copperopolis…or in jail, but I digress, that is a story better told by him.

Scot, armed with a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Math, decided that pushing papers was just not the life for him. So began the journey of his stand up comic dream. Playing to the crowd last night with stories of the seemingly endless amounts of mishaps and misadventures that occur in his life on the road, the audience warmed up quickly. His demeanor reminiscent of the late great Rodney Dangerfield allowed him to easily poke fun at the “four basic food groups: drinking, sex, drugs, and the news” and sometimes an unsuspecting patron, having the majority of the crowd in stitches. This being his second visit to Copperopolis this year it was amazing to hear his new material, though when a bit of the older material was delivered, the crowd found it to be just as funny as it was six months ago.

Opening the act for “Just Another Hangover Tour” was stand-up comic and U.S. Marine, Colin Dillon, from Santa Monica California. With experience in acting, attending an acting school in Seattle, he used not only his words to whip up the joke, but his body too. His high energy and extreme patience helped him to handle the hecklers in the crowd, playing off their words or missteps. Though his language was definitely rated ‘R’ his humor was unquestionably a hit with the audience. Colin has had the opportunity to not only play in comedy clubs across the US but in areas of Asia also.

The PTC for Copperopolis Elementary was there on hand to take a mug shot with the comedians and sing their praises. One said, “I haven’t seen a comedy show since we moved to California, this is amazing!” Another local who enjoyed the show said, “It is nice to have something different in this town.” Other words used to describe the evenings show, “very funny, hilarious, great time.” If you missed ‘em this time, the “Just Another Hangover Tour” plans on hitting the Sports Pub again this winter, sometime in January or February.
