It’s Friday Night and you’re alone with Brode!
Not here enough to develop a rhythm, but I’ll do my best in a vest. See what I mean? That was a verbal rhyme.
Let’s backtrack…
This evening I saw Inglorious Basterds at The Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. By self after working on video for Funny or Die, should be good, the video.
IB was alright. I wanted more gore, more Pitt and less subtitles. Enjoyed seeing friends in the movie -> Sam, Paul and B.J.
B.J. Novak is a good guy, back in the day he let me borrow his Westside Rentals password.
Then I drove back and forth in front of the Comedy Store, wondering why I’m not good enough for a Friday night spot. (You wanted honesty?) Have a 1am spot tomorrow night but may cancel, what’s the point?
EVERYTHING I’ve booked in this town has had ZERO to do with my 10 people or less in the audience Comedy Store spots, that’s just a fact.
Please don’t make me connect the dots, people get sensitive.
- The Hangover -> mostly because of Largo shows with Zach
- 5 years at Fox Sports -> because of mid-week show at Gower Gultch
- Sarah Silverman’s Jesus is Magic -> because of The Improv
- Funny People (though cut out, so was Russel Brand) -> because of Big Fish in Glendale
I could keep going, but I won’t.
Basically what I’m saying is, gotta push forward and put my energy somewhere else. It’s just hard, because I’m from Los Angeles and The Comedy Store was my first club in the mid-90’s.
Grew up in the 80’s driving by it as a young teen on the way to Jack’s place (Mom’s boyfriend who lived by the Comedy Store on Sunset and Alta Loma).
So yeah, moving on and it feels great already.
Check back tomorrow and see if I change my mind.
Told you I have no rhythm.
