I heard a young male comic recently say, from the stage, that
he did anal, yep he did that. That was
it. Maybe, amongst his dudes, that alone
is something to laugh at. I was waiting
for a punchline, but he just said it as an accomplishment, a credit of sorts. I didn’t get how he should get credit, unless
it was his ass.
I had a good time being part of the Real Bitches of Comedy
show last Saturday. The trains were
trying, but the woman running the show was totally in the know about what was
happening with the trains, so she was so cool about it. Two of my students went and got there before
me. They bravely sat up front. Another person with whom I have a mutual
friend showed up. It was the first time
I met him in person. He was the audience
star of the show – Rudy. He seemed
totally comfortable being part of the show.
Nice.
I don’t tend to make anyone feel sorry for sitting up front,
but I couldn’t guarantee no one else would.
They were game. My guests all sat
up front and had a good time.
Heather Apostolidis was
great to work with. She’s funny and kind
and human. I hope to work with her
again. Her almost-husband and his family were such good-vibes people. I enjoyed
them as an appreciative audience.
People
came over to me later to compliment my set.
That felt great. I felt uplifted
and encouraged to continue on with my funny stuff.
Bonus:
my students drove me home. That was a
totally unexpected cherry on the cake.
