As a gay comedian, Neil McGarry knows what it's like to be heckled because of his sexuality. "Whether you're on the stage or in the audience," he says, "comedy clubs aren't always a great place for minorities." That's why McGarry put together standup extravaganza, Revenge of the 1-4-5 Show. To complement his own routine he has included local comedians — including Carolyn Busa, Samita Pendse and Jeff Soles — because of their "brainy but silly" approach to joke-telling that doesn't cross over into the not-so-funny realm of disrespect. McGarry is quick to point out, however, that people shouldn't come expecting a cushy love fest that'll have everyone singing "Kumbaya." "We'll still make fun of everyone," he says. "But if you're making fun of everyone no one's going to feel like an outsider."
