The Road to Boston – Day 3
September 8th
Chinatown is fascinating to me. Everytime I walk through Chinatown I feel one of three things:
1) I am off to buy a Gremlin
2) I am about to engage in some drug deal or watch some underground fight, like the Kumite in Bloodsport.
3) Funny
I arrived at the Teabag Variety Show in Chinatown at 8 pm. There was a good crowd and I got up and delivered the goods. The crowd , however, just reacted like I was delivering the alrights. I think the crowd looks at me like I am Godzilla (yes I know that was in Japan, but you know what I’m saying).
I thought I was done with shows until Boston, but I was off to meet Pete Dominick (www.petesbigmouth.com) a great comic and a greater person. After my show at Gotham on 8-22-06, Pete has been doing a lot to help get my name out at the clubs. To put in terms 80s film fans can understand, let’s say I am Teen Wolf. Gary Gulman is the blond acting chick that Teen Wolf falls for for understandable reasons, great talent, great hair. But Pete Dominick is like my comedy Boof (Bouf?). Enough said, except for the fact that this will make no sense if you have not seen Teen Wolf and I am not gay.
So I go to Stand Up NY to meet Pete to discuss some poeple he thinks I should send my tape to. But as it turns out because of Pete’s good word of mouth and a cancellation I got to go up on the prime time Friday night pro show at Stand Up NY show for 10 minutes. Awesome. I did a pretty good job, but I will admit that I was a little nervous. But 10 people came up to me and told me good job. The other 40 ignored all eye contact.
So thanks to Pete Dominick (check out his website and buy his CD) and Stand Up NY. Time to go for my morning run and then catch amtrak to Beantown.
LET’S GO YANKEES!
