Chris Porter Lost & Alone *

Even drunks can understand probabilities, and the chances of getting a heart-warming story about a life of happiness and fulfillment out of your Uber driver are pretty much zilch. Then again, the chances are about the same with an internationally known comic talent. The chances of hilarity and joy, however, are far higher with the latter. Chris Porter, whose stripped-down, straightforward style took him to third place on “Last Comic Standing,” two Comedy Central features, a Netflix special, and a live DVD/CD release, is back with his second project with Stand Up! Records, “Lost & Alone.” He's a consummate professional, imperfect balladeer, reluctant braggart, fashion historian, marijuana and Fletch connoisseur, and general denim-wearing laugh-monger. Porter's southern drawl makes even the harsh truths go down smooth (it's not like you didn't know Tinder ranks on the priority list right around “something you do while you're pooping”), but make no mistake, this is high-proof, high-concept comedy. You might feel a little rough in the morning, but you'll know you earned it, buddy.
