  1. My Valentine's Day, etc.

    Tuesday, February 17, 2015






    I was absolutely thrilled to have a nice-sized audience at the Clarion Theatre as my Valentine on Saturday night.  No pressure for sex later.  Perfect.  I really enjoyed myself.  I saw someone who I haven’t seen in a very long time, and seeing her was a good thing.  Though the gap in time was very large, the hug was as wonderful as or better than ever. 

    I can’t wait to see the tape of the show.  Each comic shined.  Every audience member seemed quite pleased as they said goodnight to me on their way out. 
    It was the second Divorced Divas of Comedy show, and it was also a success as was the first one.  So far, so good. 
    Speaking of divorce, I checked my ex’s 3rd wife’s Facebook page (yes, I did), and nothing.  During their first year, she posted all these nice little things.  I thought, wait until you really know him.  The honeymoon must be over, as they say.  I will say this.  She was all into being a wife (I don’t know if this was her only marriage), and he appeared to really be lucky to have found yet another nice woman to love him.  But facades fall, and there is just so much one can get away with in life.  What the mind forgets (or refuses to deal with), the body remembers.  He’s having his share of things.
    My concern is our son.
    The adult son of one of the guest Divas attended the show, sat up front, and enjoyed himself.  When he first arrived, he and his mom had a delightful hug.  Sorry, reader, if I just drooled on you.

  3. Let Yourself Be Lured

    Tuesday, February 3, 2015


     
     
     
    Producing a show helps me appreciate being in someone else’s show where I only have to concern myself with my performance and some promoting.  Being in someone else’s show helps me appreciate creating my own show where I don’t have to risk a beating to my soul while calling it comedy. 
    After the last show I produced, most things I had been sitting on for the sake of the show came flying out of my mouth.  There had been much trying of my patience, new things to learn, disappointments, wonderfulness, and the unexpected fractured ribs, besides all the work involved.  The show was pretty terrific.  Everybody left smiling, many complimenting, and some asking for the next one.  That was fantastic.  I had to tell the “Diva” I had vented to that I had been venting and nothing I said should be considered a decision.  Days went by, and I tried to see all the challenges as learning opportunities. 

    Now it is 11 days before the next show.  I am thrilled with the line-up: Ellen Orchid, Mindy Matijasevic, Ken Watter, and Rhonda Hansome.  But the to-do list is long (though not as bad as last time since some things are settled now), and the work of getting enough audience remains the hardest part.  Several people who wanted to know about a next show won’t be in NYC on Valentine’s weekend.  Oy.  I’m a worrier.  That’s what I know how to do well.
    So if you care to be my Valentine --  
     -- oops –- I mean

     -- no, that’s a lie --
     
     

       -- oops --
       
      
                                             –- okay now I’m just trying to lure you --
     

    http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/1185854 -- yeah, that’s what I mean.
