I had a bad show the other night. It shook me up a little, but it was a great experience. I'd been waiting for it to happen, and I'm glad it did. In the big picture, nobody got hurt and I did get some laughs.
As bummed as I was, I had a very well-timed shot of inspiration yesterday afternoon. I had a birthday movie/late lunch date with my friend Leigh.(a very happy again!) We saw Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work followed by a dizzying array of bread and cheeses at 'ino.(Truffled egg toast and bruschetta with fresh fruit and marscapone)
Joan Rivers is unbelievable. She is one of the funniest people on the planet. At 75, she does more in an hour than I do in a day. She has inspired me write and perform as often as I can. Just do yourself a favor and see this movie.
I'm new to this comedy thing. It's a process. I learned the other night that pushing myself to do new material is good, but next time I'll do my best 6 minutes. I'm going to try to channel Joan Rivers' energy at my next show.
Silence, you have been warned. In the end, laughter will win.
