Featured Louisville comic: Hillary Boston

Hillary Boston is your average glass of Kentucky sweet tea. Raised half of her life as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, Hillary is just now realizing what the world has to offer in holidays and casual encounters that don’t end at the front porch.

She has been performing comedy for about two years, has been in several festivals, headlined at The Odeon, assisted in Louisville Is Funny and she’s a featured comic for the Laughing Post in Georgetown later this March.

Hillary also will be performing Thursday, March 4, at the sold-out Thursday Comedy Showcase at Aloft Louisville Downtown.

Here are some non-Jehovah’s Witness jokes that Hillary shared:

“I think it’s weird when you become such an adult that your high school classmates are becoming pedophiles.”

Hillary Boston

“I know a guy would never murder me when he can’t even choke me out during sex.”

Hillary Boston

“I’m not saying he’s stupid. But I did see him get water from the kitchen to clean the shower.”

If he wanted to feel frozen and perpetually alone, he could have just married my ex-wife.”

Dr. Peter Swanz

So far they’ve raised more than a dozen tie-dyed bandanas and a half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich.”

Kentucky vs. Louisville fans

I used to work in the sports department at the Louisville Courier-Journal. That was a challenge. People in Kentucky are crazy about college sports.

I would take calls from readers all the time.

UofL fans might ask, “Why didn’t you have anything on the Cards on the sports front today?”

I’d say something like, “It’s a slow time for UofL, and we try to give the writer a day off. We have a story coming tomorrow.”

They think they have you then.

“You had a story on UK on the front. I guess your UK writer doesn’t get the day off.”

But I was ready.

“Well, UK won the basketball championship last night. So …”

Their response was always the same.

“Y’all should just move to Lexington!”

Slam!

UofL fans are hard on their smartphones.

UK fans are just as unreasonable, though.

They think everything UK does is more important than mouth breathing.

They only thing they like better than a UK victory is a UofL scandal.

So they have been really happy lately, actually.

A UK fan might call and complain that UK’s victory against Winthrop got a smaller photo than UofL’s victory over Duke.

When you explain that the UofL-Duke game was a better matchup, they get mad.

“Y’all should just move to Louisville.”

Slam!
