COMEDIAN ANGELO BOWERS KILLED BY DRUNK DRIVER

A few years ago I saw an amateur comedian in North Hollywood, he had the funniest, most interesting act I had ever seen. I left the club without knowing his name but I had recorded 43 seconds of his act. I posted the video on youtube and soon found out that his name was Angelo Bowers, a rising amateur comedian in LA. Sadly, through comments posted on my video, Angelo was killed by a drunk driver. Comedian Josh Adam Meyer was also in the car and is in critical condition. According to laughspin.com and other sources, Angelo did not have a facebook page or a twitter account and my short video was one of the only video clips of him. "Bowers didn’t have a Facebook profile or a Twitter account. And it seems the only video of him doing stand-up was a less-than-one-minute clip posted on YouTube simply because the comedy goer who shot it, was trying to figure out what his name was– because he liked his set so much"-Dylan P. Gadino laughspin.com. I have to say, I have never been affected by a 5 minute comedy set like I have been by his, it has stayed in my mind for almost 3 years. I loved it, his act inspired me in so many ways. R.I.P. Angelo, your comedy changed me forever.
