During his introductions last night at the Addison Improv, they never mentioned Hal Sparks‘ “Queer As Folk” acting credits. And he didn’t make a single gay reference all night. But Sparks, pictured, was on fire.
His routine was fast and furious: He hates terms and phrases like “unsweetened tea” (Are they saying they somehow pulled the sugar out of it?), “non-smoker” (No, you’re just a non-breather), “that’s the last thing I need,” (No, the last thing you need is a diffribulator”) and “never say never” (Okay, how about “I’ll never fuck your mom?”).
He was just as funny as his “I Love The …” commentaries. If I wasn’t laughing so much, I would have said the long hair was just a desperate attempt for a 39-year-old who’s trying not to get pigenholed for playing gay dudes.

Okay, I’m DIGGING the long hair!
he mentiones in his new comedy special that he grew it out specifically for 2 movie roles he did in 2009 and that he kept growing it out after so it would be long enough to donate to locks of love, which I believe they only accept it if it;s 12 inches or so.
he now has his regular ol Hal look back. lol
he also makes fun of all the folks that suddenly “became my mom and told me it was stupid”
