Flashback Three: Live Comedy

Although it now seems like a long time ago, one of my first days in America with Chrissi - I arrived on the Friday, and I'm fairly sure it was the following evening - we went to see a live comedian. Well, several.

And this is the secret that they don't tell you when you see a stand-up comedian on TV or DVD; there are warm up acts. And they're damn funny too. So you're always already laughing before you even get to the main act.

I truly recommend a stand-up comedy night to anyone. The main act in this case was Gabriel Inglesias, who has apparantly come somewhere near the top of Comic Idol or whatever the show is. Anyway, he was very funny. But for me some of the warm up acts were great as well. I can't remember many or really any of the jokes - but they were damn funny.

Learn from this.

Last Comic Standing, to be precise :) He's one of my favorites just because he makes it "funny to be fluffy". Though, as Laura yelled at me that night, I am no longer allowed to call myself fluffy.

My next venture...Jo Koy or Anjelah Johnson...I am such a comedy junkie :( It is all Laura and Lee's fault!!!! They addicted me, they are bad people.
