Mike Haun wins 2011 Rocky Top Comedy Contest!
Atlanta comedian Mike Haun came out on top with a hat trick of #1's garning the top vote totals from the panel of judges, the comedians AND the audience at last night's 2011 Rocky Top Comedy Contest Finale at The Square Room in Downtown Knoxville. Monty Mitchell was the first runner-up and Riley Fox was right behind him in the vote totals closing out the top three for the night. The show had an amazing line-up of comedic talent and the crowd was super receptive to what everyone had to offer.
