Local comic still making D.C. sports jokes
Back in June, I chatted briefly with Alycia Cooper, a Temple Hills comedian who advanced to the semi-finals of NBC's Last Comic Standing, partly on the strength of a joke about D.C. sports teams. Her bit had been taped in March, though, before the McNabb/Strasburg/Wall trio arrived to redeem us,...
