We are proud to announce that Captainhilariousness is the 2007 Comic Wonder! His performance of “Puzzled Sister,” sealed the deal for him and now he will take home a $2500 check and the coolest T-shirt ever. More importantly, he has earned the right to say, “why yes, I DO think I’m a comedian.”

Chris “Captainhilariousness” Cashman is currently the 3rd most famous Chris Cashman on the internet, but we are pretty confident that his joke telling ability will quickly launch him into the stratosphere as the 2nd most famous Chris Cashman on the Internet. (#1 is a Realtor from Maryland and, well, Maryland is a big state and we don’t want to set ourselves up for disappointment.)

Captainhilariousness will now embark on a year-long adventure to all corners of the earth as he joins us in our search for the best joke-teller on the planet. The media tour begins on Saturday with an article about our hero in the Seattle PI newspaper. (details to follow)

Don’t get me wrong, Captainhilariousness is the best joke-teller of 2007 and he has set the bar high, but he, like Miss America^TM, must defend his title in a year-long catty and bloody battle of joke-telling. Even now, as he stands at the top of the mountain and screams “I am most definitely funnier than ALL of you!”, someone is sitting in a mountain shed sharpening their wit and preparing to topple the master.

Can Captainhilariousness’ joke-Fu stand up to the challenge? Most certainly, but when it comes to the life of a Comic Wonder, there is no rest for the victor. Don’t worry too much about Captainhilariousness though. He can hold his own.

Just how strong is Captainhilariousness’ humor? Try this experiment. Take any Chuck Norris joke and substitute “Captainhilariousness” for “Chuck Norris,” then substitute “Joke ” for “Roundhouse Kick” and you will start to get an idea of who you are dealing with.

We are excited to have Captainhilariousness on our side and I get the feeling we are going to have a lot of fun this year.

Congratulations Captainhilariousness!
