Demetrius Nicodemus is one of the crudest, raunchiest and over-the-top personalities traveling the Northwest Ohio comedy circuit today.

And while his material is nothing new or out of the ordinary, Nicodemus provides a freshness and sense of enjoyment while delivering his jokes.

Unlike comic Artie Lange (who is featured in a Feb. 10 posting below), Nicodemus seems to really love what he is doing. This is evident by the tone of his voice and how he interacts with other on-air personalities during 92.5 KISS FM's "Andrew Z in the Morning" show. The show airs Mondays through Fridays from 5:00 a.m. to 10:20 a.m.

Nicodemus strengthens his comedy by relying upon certain comedy styles valuing timing and creativity. They include anecdotal (story telling), wisecracks (wits) , repartee (comebacks and replies) and Freudian slip (random blurts that come out of nowhere).

Nicodemus, who is a frequent performer at comedy club Fat Fish Blue at Levis Commons in Perrysburg, Ohio, is not afriad to make fun of other races, ethnic groups or stereotypes. He often makes fun of himself because of his light-skin tone and his African American lineage.

A veteran comic in the area, Nicodemus frequently visits several Toledo establishments, such as night clubs, bars and restaurants, and also make himself available to the public via social networking sites. He has both a Facebook and MySpace account, and is featured on 925kissfm.com with the rest of the morning crew.
