A Night at the Comedy Club

On Saturday night, I went to Improv in Addison with some friends. I had never been to a comedy club before, but I have always wanted to go to one. Here are my observations from the night:

1. First joke of the night = non-smoking seating. Really. The people at the box office must have gotten a big laugh about this. We were told we would be in the non-smoking section....which turned out to be our table. There were people at the table next to us (almost touching me) that were smoking.
2. I thought I was prepared for the language that I was going to hear. Afterall, I've seen comedy shows on tv. And watched movies. And tv. And I've heard some bad language in my days. I wasn't quite prepared. The first guy wasn't funny at all, so it was like he had to make up for it by cussing every other word. And they weren't just little cuss words...they were the big daddy ones. Really, unecessary. The next lady was pretty funny, but again...too much bad language. It really is a shame that they feel that they have to resort to bad language to make people laugh. Just make us laugh without it! The head liner was great! And yes, there was a little bit of bad language but nothing like the first two. It took him quite awhile during his show to say something bad, and I was thinking he was not going to stoop that low. Of course he did, but it wasn't anywhere near as bad.
3. Improv is across the hall from a piano bar. On the way in it wasn't too crowded yet. But you could see the girls coming out to go to the restroom. And oh my goodness! It was unreal the way they were dressed! Then when we were leaving, the line to get in the club was all the way down the stairs and around the building. And it was 11:00 at night! Way past my bedtime!! I have never really had the desire to go clubbing. Yes, I did go a few time to Jitterbugs to dance in college. But that was Nacogdoches. And really not the same thing. And yes, I did have fun. But it really wasn't the same thing...at all. But right then and there, seeing the maddness that was that club, I was thankful that I was never into that scene. I'm glad I didn't have to resort to clubbing to get a date. Or to have a good time. It just really isn't for me. Call me a nerd...I've been called much worse. I'm glad I'm a nerd!
4. It seemed like most of the people there were already drunk by the time the show started. And it started at 9:00.
5. Comedy club Coca-Cola doesn't taste all that good. I don't think they really care though.

Overall, I had a great time, and I did laugh myself silly a few times. I would love to go with Chris sometime, or it would be fun to go with a group of people of say three couples so that you could get a table all to yourselves.
