Before I get too deep into things I must say that my big laughs came more from the featured comedians – particularly host D. Lee (not the one who used to have a radio show and comedy club here in St. Louis) – for Bill Bellamy’s nearly sold-out four day run at Helium this past weekend. He had me howling y’all! So did the OG who he asked how long him and his lady had been together when he said “long enough.” But back to D. Lee, anybody that can have me buggin’ up over their bout with appendicitis has a special gift! East St. Louis’ own Willie Lynch Jr. Was funny too. U. City’s own Darius Bradford relied on his old faithful material for his first time at Helium, and the folks seemed to get life. I cackled when he told the folks they had no excuse to be dusty at this comedy show, because they were already in the mall and could take the outfit back after the show. Bill Bellamy is still as fine as ever – and was pretty funny too. That bit about freakin’ down an elderly woman named Phyllis was classic.
