event Tommy Johnagin

St. Louis stand-up Tommy Johnagin proves it's possible to enjoy a night of observations about some dude's girlfriend, cat, and car, and not leave your local comedy club slathered in mouth-breather slime. Perhaps because he's a prim fellow who works clean, Johnagin manages to come off almost classy behind his old-school verbal turnarounds that faintly recall Woody Allen: "I'm the only person that's ever fought a guy and came in third," he said during a Late Show With David Letterman set last year. He doesn't necessarily shy away from sexual or sick bits (he's got a good one about hitting a deer with his car), but, in sticking to the non-shocking basics, he sets up an admirable challenge for himself.
