Chip's Comedy Club Grand Opening

Chip's Comedy Club had its grand opening last night, and I was glad to be in the audience. Joe Rivera's latest effort included Joe, Nate Lewis, Josh Hollinger and was headlined by Patrick Jaye.

Joe had live music to back up the comedians. The drummer threatened to steal the spotlight, using nothing but devastatingly timed rimshots to slyly pan a flat punchline here and there.

I did my part by coming to laugh and soaking up a small fortune in booze. Nine bucks for a shot of Scotch? I hope somebody appreciates that I took one for the team - that's me, generous to a fault.

I made a late decision not to perform, even though I think Joe would have made room for me in the lineup if I'd asked. It's been a long week, and Daddy has been too busy to rehearse properly. Plus, I wanted the opportunity to just relax enjoy some good, local comedy. I don't get enough of that. Before the show ended though, I realized I'd made a mistake, and should have taken the opportunity to "work." Next time, I'll have my excrement assembled (shit together) better, and not miss another chance.

Interestingly, there was a late audible on the headliner play: While Anthony K was slated to round out the show, Patrick Jaye brought it home instead, and in fine fashion.
