Charmaggedon - 2010



Hal Sparks... the name may ring a bell, or you might recognize his face from his many talking head appearances courtesy of VH1. You might know Hal from his stint on The Daily Show, or maybe you knew him as the gay guy next door Michael Novotny in Showtime's Queer as Folk. Or perhaps you know him as the bubble-wrapped Lord of the Nerds Zoltan in Dude, Where's My Car.

But where you need to know Hal Sparks is as a stand-up comedian. Not just because he's hilarious, which he is... but because he's absolutely fearless. Check out a clip from his newest standup special Hal Sparks Charmageddon
.



There's no sacred cow he isn't willing to slay, and his laser focus misses nothing. From how we order on a menu to how we relate to each other, Hal cuts through each oxymoron with a machete sharp wit refined by years of experience.

By the tender age of 17 Hal had won the Funniest Teenager in Chicago contest, and by 18 he had moved to California to pursue stand-up comedy as a professional career. Hal has been working at his craft ever since, and can be seen regularly headlining in many sold out comedy clubs all over the country.

"Charmageddon"
was filmed in Orange County, in front of a standing room only crowd. Hal brings his more adult oriented material to the stage, which includes such bits as "Sexting", "Inbreeding Insurance" and "Vagina Says".

It's not for the closed-minded or the faint of heart, but if you're willing to laugh (sometimes even at yourself), and if you've been waiting for a heavy metal comedian with a brain - you're ready for Charmageddon.

Also check out his debut comedy DVD "Escape from Halcatraz" - which you can also get from Amazon when available.

Follow Hal on Twitter or check out Hal's official website to learn more, even where you can go see him perform live.

Because you totally should.

Until then, check out Charmageddon.

Hal Sparks. He's hilarious. He's talented. He's fearless.
