Last Wednesday, 3/18/2026, I was invited to do a comedy set in the Diva Dive jazz show at Tio Pepe’s on West 4th Street. I had a very nice time. Diana Gitesha-Hernandez is someone I know from the NYC poetry circle. However, she is a woman of many talents – a singer and a percussionist, etc.
People who attend a jazz show seem to be very open to comedy. I was well received and enjoyed delivering. The place is really nice. I’d never been there before. But I will plan to be there again.
Then on Friday, 3/20, I had my Almost Spring Comedy Show at The Artist on City Island. The line-up was great. I was very pleasantly surprised by some folks who attended – my poetry pal Fred Simpson came and brought his wife, son, daughter, and son-in-law. I felt very grateful. My closest friends attended as did some newer friends. I appreciate everyone – the audience and the comics and most importantly, Elliot and Monica Glick, who run the place. Our Almost Summer Comedy Show will be in June. Once the date is set, I’ll announce it.
The Bronx Museum of the Arts holds events for the community, and I attended two of them recently. Loved my experiences. One was an art-making experience led by MutShat Mahone-Lonesome. I ventured into something I’d never done before – assemblage. It is 3-dimensional work.
I loved the experience. It felt like I felt as a child doing arts and crafts with my darling mother. The time flew by. When I left, I said to my mother (in Heaven), “We had a good time.” It was only after I said it that I realized I was talking to my mother. It felt so natural.
Thanks for your interest and support. It means a lot.
So much love to my darling CGG-M ❤❤❤
