Review by Scott Standish

Stand up comedy seems to be in a funk these days. Jerry Seinfeld grabbed his cash years ago and has been laying low as of late. Chris Rock peaked out a couple years back. The best comedians (Jon Stewart and Wanda Sykes) are raking in the cash on cable TV.

The best news is that there are some new comedians on the scene that are finally getting some good word of mouth. Dane Cook has been rocking audiences around the U.S. and we all know about the insane comedy that Dave Attell has been bringing to the stage. A lesser known comedian is Steve Hostetter but he's been ripping it up on the college circuit as of late.

Hostetter works on familiar themes and his content won't be freaking anybody out anytime soon, but his latest CD/DVD "Cure For The Cable Guy" proves that he has the chops to move onto the national stage. Hostetter's wit and timing is excellent and he works an audience like an old pro. Best of all, he's pretty damn funny.

Steve Hostetter's CD/DVD entitled Cure For The Cable Guy is a rock solid effort and yes, he does make fun of Larry the Cable Guy. Not that poking fun at that guy is very hard. But, all things considered, this is a hilarious performance and it's definitely worth checking out.
