Comedy Pictures

Tonight my girlfriend Kasey and I went to see local stand up comedians, and then took a walk. There's a little bar up the street that has an open mic every other Tuesday. Maybe sometime one of us will give it a shot but for right now we just love going. Its always fun no matter how bad the comedians are.

The first time we went there was a guy in the front row who just found EVERYTHING hilarious. It was great because it made the comedians more comfortable. You know how in Vegas if someone's winning a lot at black, the casino will send in a cooler to end the streak and restore stability? Well thats what this guy was like. A Reverse Cooler. As soon as somebody started to bomb the guy would throw out a huge laugh which got them back in control.

My favorite comedian there is Jeff. I don't know his last name. He has a slight mental disorder. He's not crazy, just a little slow. Sometimes he trails off during a punchline or forgets it completely. Ive never seen someone so happy to be on stage. He doesnt care if no ones laughing, he just likes telling jokes, but Im always laughing. And not in a snarky mean spirited kind of way. He just makes me happy.

But he also makes me ask myself why he's able to get up in front of people and Im not?

Also, there's a giant inflatable Santa Clause in the lobby of Kasey's apt.
