Can Oceanside Local Vicki Barbolak Be First Comic To Win AGT?
Local Comedian Competes On "America's Got Talent" Finals on Tuesday September 18th
Oceanside CA - After 5 months of waiting, with 4 winning performances seen in over 184 countries by up to 500 million people, it all comes down to tomorrow's AGT Finals for Oceanside comic and trailer park mom, Vicki Barbolak. Despite the fact that every season of 'America's Got Talent' has included comedians, not a single one has ever won the competition and the $1 million dollar prize. Can the long time Oceanside resident and fan favorite beat out all the other performers this year with her feisty "Trailer Park Trophy Wife" comedy?
The competition is fierce among the 10 final acts including 4 Singers, 2 Acrobats, 2 Comedians, 1 Violinist, 1 Magician, competing for the top prize. Plus, this year's AGT Finals should be among the most watched with the announcement that legendary rock band KISS, will be opening the 2-hour finale on Tuesday.
Vicki Barbolak also hopes to make history and a million bucks to become the first ever comic to win. We asked Vicki how she is feeling about her chances and how the experience has changed her life so far. "I got started in comedy late at age 40, which is like 180 in comedian years." she continued, "Now, I have this once in a lifetime opportunity and want to make the most of it. Which is why I hope everyone in Oceanside will vote for me, plus tell all their family and friends to vote for me. I've got $4 for anyone that does." Vicki joked, "Although I already have a back-up plan in case I don't win and that is to marry as many people as possible... to each other. So call me if you want me to marry you, like to someone else, or if you're already married I do anniversaries, too."
