Comedy Quote of the Week

No man who has once heartily and wholly laughed

can be altogether irreclaimably bad.

-- Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish Writer

I don't know about that. I don't think I want to know what makes Charles Mason giggle with glee.

The End of an Era

Sadly, Lucien Hold, manager and icon of The Comic Strip in NYC, passed away Tuesday morning, November 23. While a memorial service is being planned for after the Thanksgiving holiday, many comics informally gathered together at the Strip on Tuesday night to commiserate. Around 10:30pm, comedian Buddy Bolton led us all in a toast to Lucien. Things won’t be the same without him. He will be missed.

Fun at the Friar's!

Jim and I performed to a packed house at the New Faces of Comedy Showcase at the Friar’s Club on Monday, November 22. The Friar’s Club is home to the likes of comedy legend Freddie Roman – it’s current Dean – who has been in the business for over 50 years. With that kind of tenure, Jim’s 20 years in the biz and my 12, put us firmly in the "New Faces" category. :-)

A very special thanks to Al Caz for inviting us to be on a wonderful showcase that came complete with dinner and a lovely gift goodie bag!
