Once or twice a generation, in some local comedy community, a comedian comes along that breaks the mold. For Atlanta, covering the years mid/late 2008 to now, Justin Morgan is that comedian.
Not just content to wait for stage time to come his way, he birthed now legendary comedy rooms such as "Sho’nuff Shoney’s Tuesday Comedy Buffet" and "Alt"-ernating Thursdays at the place that used to be "Team Edward’s" in midtown before it closed.
Some comedians play to the back of the room, not Justin. He plays to the front row and he delivers.
Some have called his miniature shadowbox of the early eighties comedy scene at the legendary Comedy Store disturbing and weird. We think only a mind with a rapacious appetite for comedy could create something so genius.
