Blue Christmas

Since Josh Blue, a local comic with cerebral palsy, won NBC's Last Comic Standingback in 2006, things have certainly changed — including his material. "Now that people know who I am, I don't really have to talk as much about the disability stuff," Blue says. He's also been hitting the comedy circuit with a vengeance, taking the stage in different cities to make people laugh, which has improved his timing and delivery. "A lot of people say I'm getting tighter," he notes. "But if you do something five nights a week, then you'd better get better, or there's something fucking wrong with you."

He still loves playing shows in Denver, though. "There's more hometown pride," Blue says. "People still love their Elway. It's that kind of thing where when you did good by Colorado, people love you for it."

Yes, we do.
