Dwight Hobbes interviews Fancy Ray "The Best Man Looking In Comedy" McCloney

What I said / Fancy Ray Interview McCloney

Dwight Hobbes, Twin Cities Daily Planet

In general, it is difficult to admire a man who makes a show of admiring constant. Narcissistic this charming fantasy Ray "The Best Lookin 'Man In the comedy" McCloney, however, is an exception to the wonderfully hysterical rule. It is crazy himself with this imperturbable, disarmament joy that the public, in fact, are crazy about him.

His career has included stints Last Comic Standing on NBC and Entertainment Tonight and The Jenny Jones Show. He has worked with Richard Pryor, Little Richard and Chris Rock, played in the movie Junkyard Willie, and was presented on television in Sweden and England. "I 'm the best man lookin 'in the comedy, "he trumpets as a manic mantra, at least half a dozen times during his standup routine. It is very efficient, because after a while, you give in and do not dream of disagreeing with him. Like other comics, his material varies between subjects, but he always returns to his ace in the hole bold, to be welcoming so pretty. And it does in so many different ways wildly strange that you can not wait to see how it goes happily welcomes next.

The Chances are you know his schtick better off in television commercials. At any time, you can get to a point, choose the path when he has done and you will find yourself looking in another. It is the most recognizable pitchman in Twin Cities TV. For example, it is flashing satires Daylights Prince to play in a long-term advertising for a video shop Minneapolis.

McCloney Fancy Ray can be as wild and crazy in the conversation as the camera and on stage. But he indulged a lapse or two mental health or something close to her for an interview at a downtown Minneapolis coffee. He brings his act a huge success at Club Metro, Aug. 14.

I just take you to the Red Sea, featuring a new series-all. Where does matter come from?
It is as if a song does just great. The great art. I did not create it. This inner spirit that runs right through me. Much of my material is based on me. I'm just a source of joy, energy, and love. The flow of humanity at me.

I forget exactly. What topics did you cover the Red Sea?
I talked about everything. The The most important subject, the thing I love most in this world! This is me. And, of course, the Big Bang and the creation of the universe. All power within us. It's inside of me and you. Right? From the Big Bang. The carbon, nitrogen, everything in our body. It has been said [that] everybody is a star. I just go to the Big Dipper.

You went back and forth for a while, but moved back home in Los Angeles When?
Just a year ago I made permanent. To be with my son. Reconnect with [Twin Cities]. It was fantastic.

Same you, the Big Dipper, must adhere to basic principles of trade. Timing. Good comic needed. And do not give me a bit of noise about that you fell on a flower at the right time.
No, I fell from a tree orchids. As chocolate Human Orchid.

Would you you behave in two minutes?
To keep it on the real. It's something you got or you do not. I do not know how you develop time. The timing is natural. You must know the time established to provide the proper voltage, then press the fall. It's like breathing for me. How I come up breathing, man? I do not know. I just started goin 'inside and outside, inside and out, and leave. Continued to do so until I made a couple baby.

How do you know was going to go? Very well, then it's just natural.
Entirely natural. There is no school timing. If you do not have the time, better looking.

Okay, material. You must have good equipment.
Absolutely. I can not take credit for it. Because there is the universal power of work through me. Sometimes my jokes, oh, I am that pretty, so pretty that. But some, it's true. Like, people think I am cheap because I put a mirror in the restaurant with me.

This is your day. Your reflection in the mirror. Yeah, good.
I think he is intelligent. I have not paid for over the desert two years. I do not lie.

I bet you is not seen a shrink, or. Do you sit with a tape recorder? Pencil and paper?
I somehow say all the above. Sometimes, pen and paper. Sometimes a tape recorder. My best material comes in front of the mirror.

Here we go.
I'm not saying everything. I am motivated in front of the mirror. 80 percent of material I write [that way]. Sometimes, facing the audience, I'm just riffs. Improvise. What you are looking for an artist, a true professional, doing her thing. This is what you get when you see Fancy Ray live.

Well, as beautiful as you are, even if you do influences.
Absolutely. I studied Alis Muhammad, the beautiful Georges, Redd Foxx, Moms Mabley, Liberace. There is a list. Muhammed Ali really broke it open to all. When told: "I am the greatest" he was a kid of 17 years. He had not done anything. He had not beaten a potato sack. But he believed. And so far in the world knows him as the most great. He said the truth in himself and he has that truth a reality. Love him. The belief in love itself. And the celebration life.
