Comedian Heath Hyche hails from Birmingham, Alabama, home of many a defunct pro football team (six in all). “Every time we have a league, they have a competition to name the team,” Hyche says. “And we’re called ‘The Magic City.’ I say, call them the Birmingham Magicians, because they’re going to disappear!” Hyche describes his act as “a one-man, high-energy sketch-comedy show.” His favorite part is his Elvis-impersonator character Kevin. “The back story is he didn’t know that he was going to get to perform, so in this emergency situation his estranged ex-wife Carol is running the light and sound cues. And they’re very fortunate because the booth is exactly 50 feet from the stage, and that is the exact distance she has to keep from him at all times.”
