She So Funny

 

 

 

 

 

Well today is Christmas and the first night of Hanukkah.  Hanukkah will conclude in January.  I don’t remember that ever happening before, but I’m sure it must have.  Have a good everything.

 

The night before the winter solstice and my birthday was the show at The Artist on City Island.  The weather reports were threatening a snowstorm.  Here in the Bronx, nothing stuck, it was not at all a storm, and we just had wet ground.  However, the comics were coming from Staten Island, Long Island, and Brooklyn.  So for a few hours, I was not sure one of them was going to brave it.  I don’t drive at all, so when a driver feels hesitant about driving in challenging weather, I get it. 

 

It all worked out.  Then there was the mystery of how many audience members will show up.  The weather reports were not on our side.  Still, more people came than I thought.  And it was a good show.

 

        Elliot Glick introducing the show and welcoming the audience warmly.  He's one of my favorite people.

         My bestie’s girlfriend suggested they take me out to dinner the next day on my birthday.  We went to Neem, an Indian restaurant in Riverdale (in the Bronx, N.Y.).  It was so relaxing, no rushing, no having to get anywhere else.  We ate and talked and drank (well I drank).  It was very nice and generous of them.  It gave me something to look forward to.  I was grateful.

 

If you are into starting 2025 with poetry, you might want to attend some of this extravaganza which runs from 2-10pm at 55 Bethune Street in the community room.  It is FREE.  Each reader reads for 3 minutes, so if you don’t like someone, it will end soon.  There is an open mic list included if you want your 3 minutes.  The open mic-ers are usually sprinkled throughout the day.

 

 

The local news breaks my heart – people losing their lives over stupid shit.  Their families devastated at holiday time.  Horrible.  Then a dictator coming into office in January.  God/dess help us all.

 

Let’s embrace laughter to help us get through.  The Eat Drink Laugh show at Pangea (NYC) on January 24^th at 9pm will lift your spirits.

 

 

 

Loads of love to CGG-M    ❤❤❤

It would make me so happy if you decide to spend Friday, December 17^th enjoying City Island – its seafood, non-seafood, little shops, and all around village feeling – and then warm up with laughter at The Artist for 7:45 seating/8pm WINTER COMEDY SHOW!  (or just come to the show).

It is only $10 cover and there is NO minimum.  However, if you desire, there is light fare and delicious desserts for purchase.  The desserts are provided by https://www.facebook.com/JennysSweetsSA. 

 

We do ask for donations, so the talented comics can be paid.  We definitely deliver the funny.  It will be a fun night, for sure!

 

Though wine is available, you are free to BYOB.  😊

 

Must bring vax card and ID.  The wonderful people who run The Artist, Elliot Glick and Monica Glick, are responsible and don’t deserve the thousand-dollar fine for not complying.  So bring your card!

249 City Island Avenue, Bronx, N.Y.

 

This show is four days before my birthday, so it would be especially great if you attend.  It would feel soooo good to hear your laughter.

Much love to CGG-M ❤❤❤
