Thank you Dunsford

Had the privilege of doing a show at the Nestle In Resort up in Dunsford, a little town just outside Bobcaygeon, which is a little town just north west of Peterborough. Shows at trailer parks are the types of shows that kind of scare you at first. You never really know what to expect. It could be a bunch of drunken hillbillies drinking moonshine right from the still, or in the case of Saturday, a great group of people who own RV's at a nice resort as a great way to get away for the weekend. Oh sure, some of them were drunk. Okay, most of them were drunk. And some may have been hillbillies, but dammit, they were a hell of a lot of fun.

I was on the show with Brian Hope and Andrew Evans. I know, shocking. I never work with those guys. But hey, I'll do a fun show with my friends any day of the week. Brian as MC was at his best, easily working the crowd, milking every laugh out of them. Evans as closer tore the roof off that barn with the highlight being his making fun of the guy with the eye patch. One of those things you had to be there to see. Me as middle, well, it may not have been my best show ever. Probably not even in my top 10, top 25, or even top 100. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't bad or anything, but I can be honest and say that I wasn't as sharp as I've been at other times. But if I were to rate shows on how much fun I had while being on stage, I would say that this one was easily in my top 5.

It was one of those shows where from the second I got on the stage, I was having fun. I was in the moment, just rolling with it, having a great time. It was one of those nights where I didn't have to worry if I was being me, or if I was being too dirty, or if I was doing too much time, or whatever, I could just relax, have fund and do what I do and that is tell jokes to people on stage. Oh sure, technically there are a ton of things I could have done better, crowd work for example but as far as having a great time on stage, I was on. The crowd seemed to enjoy themselves too, every joke seemed to hit reasonably well, which is as important as me having a good time. But for me, given that my last show was just a horrible experience from start to finish, this was just what I needed to remind me why I love doing comedy and how important doing comedy is to me.
