Shane Mauss
Shane Mauss looks innocent enough: clean cut, baby-faced white dude dressed in a man-boy uniform of T-shirt and hoodie. But once he opens his mouth, appearances be damned. Mauss breaks loose with jokes about his former jobs, drinking habits, and sex life with a level of honesty that makes you wish he’d hold back a little ― that is, if he wasn’t so outrageously funny. Closer to Norm Macdonald than Steven Wright, Mauss brings his gin-dry delivery to Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club with support from feature comic Big Ed Blake. The Boston-based Wisconsin native has performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, and Playboy TV’s Night Calls and his explicit Comedy Central Records album Jokes to Make My Parents Proud landed on Punchline Magazine’s list of The 10 Best Comedy Albums of 2010. Spoiler Alert: his jokes might not make his parents proud. $15; 8pm Wed-Thu, 8pm and 10:15pm Fri-Sat, 8pm Sun; Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club, Park North Plaza, 618 NW Loop 410, (210) 541-8805, lolsanantonio.com; shanemauss.com.
