Nightly, under the harsh glare of the spotlight and several hundred hardened gazes. New York stand-up Allan Havey's comic flame burns. As seen in this month's HBO Young Comedians show, thirtythree-year-old Havey is a master of chiaroscuro standup, blending light humor with black comedy into an intoxicating potion of sex, religion, and even death. Taking risks and pushing audiences to the edges are Havey's methods. What's his motivation? "There's nothing more thrilling than getting onstage and acting naughty."
