Which way to West Jorday?

Marcus, the "Man of 1000 Voices" and current contestant on NBC's "Last Comic Standing," will be at the Wiseguys in Ogden (269 Historic 25th St.) Friday and Saturday.

He does two shows each night: one at 8 p.m. and another at 10 p.m.

Tickets are $10 at the door.

The heavily tattooed mimic impressed judges and a test audience on the show with impressions of Matthew McConaughey, Bobcat Goldthwhait and Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. He is technically a semifinalist on the show, and once the NBC show decides to quit doing a million shows of auditions and have the comedians compete to be the Last Comic Standing, we'll be able to see how Marcus does.

If Marcus does well, perhaps NBC will stop labeling him as being from "West Jorday, Utah."

David Burger is the pop music/pop culture writer at The Salt Lake Tribune. He's been at several newspapers, including Scranton, Pennsylvania, the home of "The Office." Before that, he spent five years in the Coast Guard. There, on boring midnight watches on the bridge, he would try to keep himself awake and/or keep from throwing up by singing "Thunder Road" to himself while balancing a sextant on his nose. (He'd also look for drowning people, of course.) He also likes condiments, except when throwing up.
