In Memoriam

On Monday Lomblog introduced you to the comedy stylings of Frank Jacks, an innovative stand-up who has been favorably compared to both Lenny Bruce and Bruce Vilanch. Sadly, those visiting the site since then were logging on to what was ultimately one of Jacks' last performances.

Last night, Frank appeared at Chuckleni's, a New Jersey nightclub believed to be one of the last significant outposts of Mob influence in the Northeast. In a blistering 3-hour set, Frank discussed possible Mafia involvement in the Kennedy assassination, the Hoffa disappearance and the axing of John Stevens from "American Idol." After the show, according to witnesses, he was met in the parking lot by three unidentified men in dark clothing clutching lead instruments. The exact circumstances of his murder/suicide are still murky, but his last words are believed to have been, "Who's about to kill me - Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano's car pool?"

Frank Jacks, comic genius - now he belongs to the ages.
