Recap: Comedy Show and Tell, October 10
This Monday, October 10, I opened up Comedy Show and Tell by discussing my last week of comedy -- auditioning for "Laughing Liberally" but realizing on the subway on the way there that, yes, I'm a liberal ... but my jokes are about makeup; performing with Neal Pollack and asking all the Philadelphians where to find "male groupie poontang"; and performing at NYU and feeling like a class traitor when it turned out that the rich, tanned, beautiful golden people of NYU also laugh at my Strunk & White jokes, and I really rather like that.
Here's me; I should learn to make more attractive facial expressions while doing comedy:
Rachael Parenta did a very funny set; she advised the other comics never to date the same person twice, because you don't get any new material. Oh, you still don't own a pillow? Great.
After Rachael concluded to thunderous applause, I showed my Show and Tell item -- a postcard advertising Jordan Knight appearing this Friday at Culture Club, where he will be performing "all his hits from NKOTB and today." And today? Who you foolin'?
Mike was our first audience show-and-teller. His mother went to Russia and brought back nesting dolls of great Russian leaders...
...arranged in reverse-chronological order, making Putin enormous and Peter the Great a mere molecule.
Megan next performed her comedy debut. How do people with Tourette's promote justice and equality in their own communities? Lick balls, lick balls!
Syd's show and tell came with an extended monologue about how Supergirl could be from Kryptonite, but younger than Superman, despite Kryptonite's having been destroyed when Superman was a baby.
Michelle Buteau brought a "Michelle St." sign given to her by a guy she was dating. Why? I'm not eight. Michelle told jokes about being Haitian and Jamaican and then mocked the (overwhelmingly not Haitian and Jamaican) audience -- "Are you relating?" Her white girlfriends try to introduce her to other Haitian people so they can "speak Hades."
And that concludes Comedy Show and Tell! Join us every other Monday for free comedy and audience-participation Show and Tell. Continuing on October 24, November 7, November 21, and December 5, 7:30pm, Pete's Candy Store.
