So, I was hanging out at the bar with friends when I was approached by an audience member. He said, “You’re funny. I enjoyed your show.” “Thank you.” “So, how old are you?” No, you didn’t miss anything. And, no, I didn’t leave anything out. He asked me just like that, with all the finesse of a STD test. Woo Hoo! My article "But I Don't Want to Be a Stripper" caught the eye of the Bunion Blog by @alphaorthotics! http://www.bunionblog.com/2012/05/14/comedian-laments-bunion-inducing-stripper-shoes/ I read and loved Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and End of the World. Fall of Giants did not disappoint. For someone who has no interest or connection to World War I, I was riveted! The whole time I was reading it reminded me of Sting's song Children's Crusade.
Don't miss this amazing play by Jim Mendrinos. There's only 4 more chances to see it - tonight through Sunday the 13th. Details and tickets are available at www.inherwakeplay.com. I tried going shoe shopping but what I found instead were shelves full of brightly colored stilts. “Am I expected to actually walk in these?” I said aloud to no one in particular. A sales girl smiled and said, “You know, some women can’t walk in flats.” I bit my tongue just in time to stop myself from saying in a perfect imitation of my Grandmother, “Yes, Child, but those women are whores.” |
