To be honest I didn't think anyone from the Minneapolis was that funny. Weird coincidence though - the last time I went to the Acme Comedy Club, Doug Benson (the first comic sent through to the semi-finals) was the headliner.

Best joke I heard (and am still laughing over) was by Austrailian comedian Sam Bowring in reference to that anti-DVD piracy commercial that goes something like "You wouldn't steal a mobile phone. You wouldn't steal a car," etc. Bowring (imagine this with an Austrailian accent now) goes - "I think to myself, well you're right, you know, I wouldn't steal a car. But if a mate of mine called me up and said 'Sam, I've just bought a new car, you want me to burn you a copy?'  I reckon I'd consider that."

You can see the episode by clicking here. Bowring is in Part 5, several minutes into the clip.
