By Amy A. Winnemore     The Players Club of Swarthmore brings six average Joes to the stage with their season finale musical “The Full Monty.” Based on the 1997 movie featuring six British blue-collar out of work steelworkers, the musical version has them living in Buffalo, N.Y. After seeing their wives’ enthusiasm for a touring Chippendales act, Jerry Lukowski (Brian Seaman) works to convince his friend David Bukatinsky (Joe Tabasco) and recruit several other down on their luck fellas to present a one-night only strip act. The cast of "The Full Monty" at Players Club of Swarthmore    With his strong voice and self-deprecating attitude, Tabasco is great as the “Fat Bastard” Bukatinsky. The rest of the strip act, especially Ben Long is entertaining as the awkward laid-off steelworker Malcolm MacGregor. His excellent voice is showcased during “You Walk With Me.” The most laugh out loud moment was Noah “Horse” T. Simmons’ (Robert Harris) solo song “Big Black Man.”
