What a GREAT show last night

Last night's show was SO FUN.

I'll admit, when I arrived and realized the place was a youth hostel and only 3 people were present, I was a little apprehensive. And the fact that the show was called "The Comedy Dungeon" was a little freaky. But then it started and the place began to fill up and I had SO MUCH FUN.

There was no microphone or stage--just a bunch of chairs surrounding a little open area. And I've never felt so comfortable in front of an audience before. For the first time since I started doing comedy, I didn't prepare at all ahead of time--I just started talking and went where my talking led me. And it felt GREAT. There six or so other comedians and everyone did a great job I thought. And the audience--if you are a comic and you want to perform in front of the nicest and most encouraging crowd of strangers ever, get yourself a spot on this show. It's every Monday night and definitely worth the trip to 106th and Central Park West.

So I'm feeling pretty great about life in general today--it's a short week, it's summer, and there will be fireworks on Friday.

PS: If you live in NYC, you should make a point of checking out the Waterfalls project. It's these 4 man-made waterfalls that are placed at different locations along the East River in lower Manhattan. The best place to see them is down by the Brooklyn Bridge next to the South Street Seaport. And make sure to go at night because then it looks like the waterfalls are just coming out of thin air and it's AWESOME.
