Jizz, right!?
And so last Saturday.... late last Saturday... I did something I normally don’t do. I went out to see the late show. I don’t mean THE late show, or the LATE show. I mean the late show at The Comedy Attic! Why would I do something like this? Have I gone crazy? Has the loco caboose finally attached itself to the engine that is my weird brain? NO!
I went to the late show because Girlfriend is a HUGE fan of Michael Ian Black, the gentleman who graced our fair town with his presence. I’m not hugely familiar with most of his work, but I like what I’ve seen. His show is definitely worth seeing!
I’m not going to give anything away, but he masterfully worked his material and weaved some great stories throughout his set. Even though you knew at a certain level something was coming, it still came by surprise.
Those of us in the front row got a great treat, and Girlfriend was especially tickled the second time around.
During a joke, MIB graciously congratulated himself on such a fine joke and shook hands with those of us right in front. Girlfriend was tucked back just a bit behind me. Later, there was another joke with a punchline of “It’s jizz, right?!” or something like that. Cue the howls of laughter and another celebratory round of handshakes. This time was different, though! Not missing a beat, Girlfriend stuck her hand out just as he was getting to me and got a hand shake. I got a high five as he pointed at her and said ,”Yeah, YOU know!”
It’s a weird highlight, but it IS a highlight, and it’s mine! It also beats out some other recent interactions I’ve had recently, but I’m going to sit on that and focus on the GOOD stories!
Coming up, if it’s in the budget, Jen Kirkman! I’ve got 2 weeks to scrape my pennies together!
