Looking for gay culture in small towns

by Adam Finley, posted Jan 23rd 2006 4:56PM

ANTMTV's gay and lesbian Logo network is teaming up with comedian "Ant" (most of you will remember him from Last Comic Standing) to seek out gay life in small town America. For US of ANT the comedian will travel across the United States and visit random towns to see how the gay community is getting along. The comedian claims he'll be throwing a dart at a map to decide where to go, though I imagine a more scientific approach will probably be used. Or not.

 

Those of us who grew up in small towns know they don't always embrace alternative lifestyles. The idea has possibilities, and it will be interesting to see what the show does with its subject matter.

I love Ant...glad to hear about the show. And his material is original, engaging and wildly funny. Boy do I dislike homophobes whose pathetic existance on earth is to disparage anyone who doesn't think like them. Go Ant! Can't wait for your show. --A gay guy in a small town.

I live in a small town with a great gay culture. ant and logo coming to town would be the worst thing that could happen to us.

So he will be visiting small towns, or as gay people call them, "hell".

Although the show has admitted possibilty, the unfunny Ant is the worst person to host the show.

On a pure standup comic analysis, his material was about 10% original, with the rest comprising of jokes that have been around forever (though ones that many may not have heard). His delivery (and material) is essentially one-note as well. Beyond that, he was just plain annoying.

Hopefully, when the 4th season of "Last Comic Standing" returns this summer they won't "check-in" with him of the former contestents.
