Thursday night was the usual great local showcase The Bomb Shelter at 18th & Red. This weeks attendance was a little low due to the opening of the NFL regular season. Oh well, you can't win them all. But the show was really good and the people who came out to the show were fantastic; except for the 8 douchebag motherfuckers who stumbled in to take shots with the door guy with about 10 mins left in the show. I really hate people that look like the people I grew up with (Southern Republican type look).
Daniel Tosh was at the Improv this weekend and every show was a sell out. Local comic Tim Miller hosted almost all the shows. He had some car trouble on Friday, and I got to fill in for him on the first show. Thanks Tim for not checking your oil! The feature act was Andi Smith, and she is funny. And more than being funny she was a real comic who loved stand-up. She called a hack a hack and would talk some shit with me. That's a great pereson. I love meeting comics who love stand-up and will talk shop all night. But more importantly express their opinions and not sugar coat something. It's so fucking boring to talk to comics who don't want to hurt someones feelings because every conversation is "Well, he's alright, or she's pretty good, or I like that one joke they have." No you don't. If you think that they're comedy sucks, say it. I like that in a comic. It's something you don't see much around DC.
Daniel was a great to watch as well. I'd say it was about 85% new material so I was entertained. Do youreself a favor and find his one joke about To Catch a Predator. Hands down my favorite one of the week. Also, I owe him a huge Hot Cock. He doesn't Hot Cock he's a grabber and that hurts.
This weeks Bomb Shelter is going to be great. Rob Maher, Jared Stern, Kojo Mante, Bryson Turner, and Mike Way. John McBride or myself will host it but we'll all be there. It's gonna be Super Duper Fun Balls.
That's All.
