Alonzo never let's a crowd down. Can't wait to see him again--after seeing him on Goldstar, it reminded me to become a fan of his for when he plays around town. Two comedians beforehand were awesome as well! Felt great to laugh in these tough times.Written on Aug 17 2009

My boyfriend and I went and we both had an awesome time. All the comedians were great!!! We had arrived a little late and thought we would have bad seats but, on the contrary, we had a great view. I can't wait to go again!!!!Written on Aug 17 2009

More Information About Comedian Alonzo Bodden
Description
Alonzo describes his material as “cynically good natured in an angry suburban Negro kind of way. The older I get, the less good natured it's gonna be. What can I say -- the stupid out there is wearing me down."
Even before appearing on Last Comic Standing, Alonzo Bodden knew there was nothing, absolutely nothing that would ever make him give up comedy. “That’s the drug”, he says “when they laugh it’s like I’m a jazz musician and they hear it, and they get it. It’s power to take the crowd wherever I want them to go. I love it when they laugh, especially when they relate through laughter. It’s a beautiful thing. It also means I’m going to get paid, which is nice.”
Alonzo didn’t always make his living as a stand up comic. A graduate of Aviation High School, for nine years he earned a paycheck as a jet mechanic for Lockheed and McDonnell Douglas. While comics around the country were making audiences laugh at airline jokes, he was working on the top secret Stealth Bomber. It was during a stint as trainer that Alonzo discovered his ability to entertain a group of people. “I was teaching airplane mechanics when I realized it was more fun to make them laugh,” he explains, “I was laid off one more time and I never looked back, although it was nice to have a steady paycheck and benefits.” Alonzo enrolled in a comedy class and the rest as they say, is comedy history.
After placing as runner-up on Season 2 of NBC’s Last Comic Standing, he came back strong in Season 3 to take the grand prize. In 2007, he went on to become a series regular judge on Season 5 of the show. His movie roles include parts in Scary Movie 4, Bringing Down the House, and The Girl Next Door. On television, he has played a bouncer/crook/security guard/cop on Angel, Grounded for Life, and Profiler. He was a field correspondent on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and the host of Speed Channel’s 101 Cars You Must Drive.
