Can you help me find this comedian?

July 14, 2008 9:13 PM

I heard a clip of what I believe was a stand up routine this morning on 103.5 Kiss FM in Chicago. Can you help me find the comedian?

It was a short clip where the comedian was talking about how when people get hit hard they'll be grabbing at everything while they're falling.
I also remembering him saying that one time his friend got punched at a bar or club and it caused his friend to fall asleep.

Is this familiar to anyone? They actually mentioned the comedian's name and I scribbled it down as Nick Hart. I've searched Nick Hart and Nick Heart and Nick K/Cart but I haven't found anything relevant.

I was really cracking up in my car and would love to hear more from him. Any leads would be much appreciated!

The only stand-up comedian named Nick I can think of off the top of my head is Nick Swardson, which is probably a bit of a stretch to be confused for Hart. Might search YouTube for him and see if the voice fits?

I YouTube'd Nick Swardson but he wasn't the one. He's pretty funny though.

Your guess is much better than mine, but I googled 'Chicago "stand up" comedian nick' and came up with a few Chicago-based sites, including Chicago Underground Comedy. Someone named Nick Vatterott has been, and will be, performing there all month. No guarantees, though. Sorry I can't help any more than that!

If you're really dying to know who it is, you could try emailing the morning show. Maybe they'd respond or play more of the guy's stuff!

This guy looks a little wackier than what you describe, but Nick Tarr?

I found him! It wasn't Nick Hart... it was Kevin Hart. Oops. Thanks for all the help though.
