Clark's comedic skits bring down the house
By Dave Stefanowicz | April 29, 1996Comedian Anthony Clark took the stage before an energetic crowd of more than 300 spectators in Collis Common Ground on Saturday night. Clark, the star of NBC television's Thursday night sitcom "Boston Common," pleased his fans with a wacky, entertaining stand-up routine. Clad in a Nike hat, leather jacket and khakis, Clark drew on his characteristic Southern accent and charm to set the stage for his performance. A good portion of the act centered on Clark's family life as he poked fun at his home state of Virginia. "If you ever find out that you have a year to live, go to Virginia, where every day seems like an ... eternity," he said. Despite using mostly prepared material, Clark's show was fresh and original. He spoke of life's ironies -- stopping at a tollbooth to ask for Tollhouse cookies and attempting to feed hamburger to a cow. Like most standup routines, Clark used a roundabout style to bring bits in a circle for the audience.
