We caught the early set at the Comic Strip on 2nd and 81st.  Nine young comics kept the laughs coming for the better part of 90 minutes.  Without doubt, the standout of the night was Marshall Stevenson, a Manhattan native who now lives in the South Bronx.  Unlike others, Stevenson doesn't have to go blue to get laughs, although he had some insightful thoughts about fertility clinics.  Stevenson's delivery is animated and quite poised.  Unlike others, there are no pauses or ahs in the routine.
