delighted blog post: the official comedy report

My comedy set at the Improv went great! I did some new material about being embarassed by other comics' bathroom jokes.

What I really want is a kinder, gentler comedy club where we sip tea and I tell jokes like "Don't you just hate it when you have to 'powder your nose,' but you're not sure the door to the 'powder room' is completely secure? Someone might walk in! And SEE YOUR NOSE!"

It was a great audience, one where you almost feel like you're cheating. You say anything and pause, and people laugh. I actually didn't get through as much material as I thought I would, because the audience laughing took up so much time. Which is absolutely 100% NOT a complaint. (Sort of like a rich guy complaining that it takes soooo long to count his money).

The little pre-comedy mixer at the Cafe del Teatro was fabulous -- it's a fancy pastry shop, and we had little squares of Napoleons and tarts. If I do another show at the Improv, I will definitely make a practice of holding pre-parties.

Brian Van of The Lectern was in attendance with some friends, along with Megan of Throbbing Brains Onstage and her friend Dileep, plus Tom, SweeneyTim (who had come straight there from a failed date!) and some other folks who I didn't get to meet since they went straight to the show. Brian took pictures that shall be posted soon.

I talked to one comic who didn't know who Stevie Nicks was, or that it was possible to have coke blown up your ass with a straw. Such an educational evening!

I had a daiquiri and the bartender made fun of me for it.

I have to say, a bunch of people in the audience wearing Peeps t-shirts? Wow. I love the world. And all my peeps.
