Total Bull star Western Wishes, plus Ultimate Fighter 5, Fight Girls, and Last Comic Standing

The Boston Phoenix, June 27, 2007

But not as visionary as local comic Chris Coxen, of West Roxbury, who appeared on NBC’s LAST COMIC STANDING (Wednesday at 9pm) as “combat dancer” Danny Morsel. The stand-ups were on parade: desperate, engorged, each of them taking the stage like an emissary from some realm of heightened self-consciousness. Jokes, zingers, a dull relentless jabbing at the pleasure centers. But our man Danny Morsel got out the beatbox and popped some vicious martial-arts moves, with a Rambo headband and a “war doll” strapped to his chest . . . Too much for those goddamn middlebrow consensus-comedy judges, who instructed him to dance his way home. Shame!
