Dane Cook

By now you must have heard that there's a certain Dane Cook that exists in the US and that he is making waves of tsunami proportions in the stand-up comedy scene. So much so that TIME magazine picked him for its annual TOP 100 World's Most Influential People issue. It was Ashley who introduced me to his website a year ago and since then I must admit that I've been a fan. Man, this guy is true energy, if he were a drug, he would certainly be classified as illegal, because he'd be likely to cause a heart attack. He is good-looking (according to Ashley, and I agree) unlike the typical, funny-face comedian, and most of important of all, he's got talent.

Here's what TIME has to say about him: He longs to own a pet monkey, take part in a heist, watch a pedestrian get hit by a car. When a couple in the supermarket line gets into a "nothing fight," Cook abandons his cart to go listen. Creeped out by that weird guy in the office? Cook's advice: make friends. Then when he starts shooting up the office, he'll skip you, offering instead a friendly, "Thanks for the candy." Sweet.

If you're dead bored at home or trying to kill time in your office cubicle, remember that coffee is not the only thing on this planet capable of keeping you from dozing off. Check him out at www.danecook.com. Once you get inside the main page, you will start hearing Dane's booming voice from clips of his past performances and it won't stop until you leave the site. Have a good laugh!
