She So Funny

'Twas a good show!

I am so pleased to say that Friday’s “Almost Summer” Comedy Show at The Artist on City Island was well attended and very enjoyable.  TJ Meyers, Hector Luis, Donna Moran, and a ready-to-have-fun audience made for a very good night.  Since the pandemic, we’ve been working hard to get the audiences back, and Friday night was almost a full house so I was very happy about that.  Even two Facebook friends made the trip from South Brooklyn!  Pamela Gregory and Kenneth Silberberg.  Now we met in person.  I always appreciate that experience.

The photo includes Elliot Glick, who along with Monica Glick, runs the very welcoming place, now called The Artist (formerly the Starving Artist Café).  Elliot is a musician, guitar teacher, and a real contributor to the community.  They mostly showcase independent music, but they also welcome comedy, poetry, actors; they have paint nights too.  On the last Friday of the month at 8pm, they have ‘Take the Stage’ Night.  That’s where people can share any art form they do.  More info here:

After the show, Elliot, my friends, and I talk before leaving.  I enjoy that.  Then my friends and I typically go to the bar next door where they know how to make Long Island Ice Teas (they might call them City Island Ice Teas), and they offer outside seating.  In warm weather like Friday’s, we sit outside and can smoke, toke, and joke.  And we do.  We often close the place.

On July 15^th, I’m in a poetry reading and a variety show on the same day.  That’s how it goes sometimes.  Details to come.

So much love to CGG-M  ❤❤❤
