This weekend, I had the privilege of performing alongside Winston Spear and Dave Tsonos up in Lively. If you've never been to Lively, it's a nice little town just south of Sudbury. The show was part of the Walden Winter Carnival. The show was a lot of fun. Hell, anytime you get to tell jokes in front of 350 people who want to laugh, it's always a pleasure. Not to mention, I got to perform with Tsonos and Winston. I have seen Winston a few times and every time he never fails to deliver. If you've never seen him, get off your ass and do it. He starts his set with a hilarious dance and then moves nicely into very funny, clever jokes. I am amazed at how this man's mind works. It was truly a pleasure to watch.
After the show, Tsonos and I hit the "club scene" in Sudbury. We ended up at a place called the Night Club. What an original name! We get there and there is a band playing pop punk stuff like Green Day and Blink 182. Then they started to do heavy versions of Lady Gaga and other poppy shit. Hilarious and oddly catchy. But I would say the highlight of the night was the fact that attached to the Night Club was Sudbury's strip joint Diamonds. I have never seen anything like this before. The only thing separating the strip joint from the regular bar was a doorway that didn't even have a door. What a concept – take your date out for a few drinks and if things aren't going well, sneak into the strip club every once in a while to catch a glimpse of some naked ladies. I guess you'd hope she's not doing the same thing. Earlier in the night Tsonos was commenting that he never went to strip joints and it wasn't really his thing. Yet he was the one checking it out every 10 minutes looking for a show. I showed considerably more restraint and only checked every 20 minutes to see if there was a show going on. Sadly, we did not get to see any of the strippers do their thing, although I did catch a glimpse of one of the strippers – picture me in a bikini. Now you don't have to go to Diamonds. You're welcome.
With most road trips with comics, the best part of the trip is the car ride. Anytime you have 3 or 4 comics in a car for several hours on end, it can be very entertaining. I've often thought that it would make for a great TV show to rig a car up with cameras and just let the comics go for the length of a road trip. It would make for a very funny show. This trip was no exception. Some of the things that Winston was coming up with were unbelievable. Very funny stuff.
My next big show is in Bobcaygeon on February. 26. I don't know much more than that, but I'll definitely keep you posted.
