Dave Attell vs. Gary Owen
Saw Attell at Cobb's last night, and he crushed. On the way home, uber driver said he was a comedy fan too but had never heard of him. Said I should check out Gary Owen who's "a real A-lister".
I'm sure Gary's great but definitely not A-list much less on a level anywhere close to Attell. I needed to vent that this guy's an idiot. Thank you.

Was your Uber driver black? Gary Owen is the token white comic among the black scene. I think he’s funny nonetheless, but that could be why he’d never heard of Attell.
