Managed to catch most of the Comedy Central Presents specials last night. Sadly it was hit or miss for me. Loved Jessi Klein, hated Mike Vecchione.
I wanted to like Mike Vecchione, I really did, but I just couldn't. His material was weak, his rhythm was off, and delivery was poor. It was also very obvious that he was nervous. He didn't come off strong or really have much of a persona. He also had a tendency to repeat words and phrases. Whether this was to keep his rhythm on track (which it didn't really) or for comedic affect (also did not make a difference for) is still unclear to me. Vecchione's Stand up persona would have to be a sort of Buff White guy who is actually very soft spoken. If I had to choose a best clip, which was difficult it would be this one.

Jessi Klein
Jessi Klein was funny. Undoubtedly funny. She never made my sides split but she kept me laughing the entire time. Klein's deal was the Jewish mid 30's single woman who has been around the relationship block. She actually had a type of Tina Fey vibe. Her material was good and she had good timing. I'm not surprised she's not more well known considering how hard it is for female comics to make a name. I have to say though I liked her way better than better known names like iliza shlesinger or natasha leggero. Here's a look at some of her special
