Before “The Dirty Joke Show” begins an announcer warns folks with sensitive ears to leave and go see “Donny and Marie.”

That’s good advice for those who don’t like the “F” word, which seems to be used two or three times in every sentence in this comedy showcase of potty mouth humor at Hooters, which may be seen at 11 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.

The “F” bombs and the jokes are fast and furious, delivered by veteran comics Geechy Guy (who once set a world record by telling more than 600 jokes in an hour), Todd Paul (who has his own comedy show at Hooters at 7 p.m. nightly) and Mickey Joseph (who portrays Joey Bishop in “The Rat Pack is Back” at the Plaza).

From time to time a guest comedian will show up and throw out a couple of jokes. Recently it was Kevin Burke, who has two shows in town – “Defending the Caveman” at the Excalibur and “Fitz of Laughter” at Fitzgeralds.

Ron Shotts, one of the funniest comedians in the business and a Vegas resident, showed up another night.

“A guest set is built in,” says Guy. “It doesn’t have to happen, but has happened six out of 10 nights.”

Guy came up with the idea about five years ago but couldn’t sell it until Hooters decided to take a chance.

The premise is three comedians joining each other in an alley behind a comedy club after a show and exchanging jokes for about 90 minutes.

“I thought it might be fun to let the audience watch us tell each other jokes,” says Guy, who may be best known for his appearances on Ed McMahon’s “Star Search” in the ‘80s - held the record for the most wins for a comedian (10) beating such comedians as Ray Romano.

The comedians take turns pulling jokes from their dirty joke bag.

Each comedian 40 to 50 jokes in their allotted space,” Guy says. “As long as we do what’s our own, that’s the only rule we have. We draw from our own list.

“There’s probably a 20 to 30 percent difference in jokes every night. We just follow each other. One guy does one and reminds us of one.”

Not all the jokes are dirty.

“You know what the snail said when he rode on the back of a turtle?” Guy asked.

“No.”

“Wheeeeeeeee.”

“You know what you need to circumcise a whale?” Guy asked.

“No.”

“Four skin divers.”

Most of the remaining jokes are for adults, though Guy calls them “R” rated.

“It’s good clean dirty fun,” he says.

The show is loosely scripted. Each comedian gets his turn at pulling out his dirty jokes in a dirty joke free-for-all.

If you don’t like one, wait a second and there’ll be another.

Many you may know.

“Most people have heard some of the jokes,” Guy says. “But what better way than to hear a real comic tell them the joke than Uncle Bob – even if they have heard the joke they should still enjoy it.”
