I went to see comedian Jeff Richards perform at Flappers in Burbank last night.  You'd probably remember him as "Drunk Girl" from Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live, but I liked him best as Jarrod's creepy jock roommate.  Anyway, my friend and I didn't go in with super-high expectations, but we ended up having a really good time.  All of the people we saw were funny!  It was cool that the club has an area set-up on your way out where you can meet the performers from your show.  Of course Jeff Richards was especially nice to my friend (everyone is ALWAYS especially nice to her!  Even when it's me forking over the $20 for their merch..... some things absolutely never change, LOL).

My friend and I made a pact that we were really going to try to go to more comedy shows.  We used to go fairly often and saw some cool acts (and no really horrible and awful acts that we walked out of, actually, there was only one...... I'm looking at you Joe Rogan.  I can take dirty.  I can take rude.  I can even take unfunny.  But when you hit the trifecta of all three, I'm out.).  We really did see some amazing gigs.  A Damon Wayans surprise act, a REALLY young Carlos Alazaraqui, Charles Fleischer, Kevin Meanie, Greg Proops, the list goes on and on and on. 

It's time to get back to comedy!  The shows are cheap and you can usually get away with diet cokes for your two drink minimum.

Something to think about.
