Up in the rafters of a converted church, on a spanking hot June afternoon Joe Bains and his comedic partner had this student crowd eating out of the palms of their hands as they left the audience in fits of laughter after a twisted act of utter comedic pleasure.

Joe slid into an easy rapport with a crowd of students who may have been slightly younger than his normal clientele. Their age, however, offered them no protection to his savage tongue as his open mocking of certain individuals had the audience calling for more.
