Went to my friend Tim's first huge stand-up gig at The Gotham Comedy club. I haven't seen Tim since my sister's graduation, and before that, not since High School. He was always the class-clown you could say, and always doing something zany, which is why I knew I had to see his stand-up. I was actually pretty amazed he invited me. I was never really Mr. Popular in high school and Tim was always in that higher clique. Probably was my doodlings that caught his eye.
I've never been to a comedy club before, and nor have I ever gone into the city on my own either so I figure those were some new milestones. I just hopped on the LIRR from Central Islip and when I got to Penn Station I just had to walk about 9 blocks, nothing major. I had to waste some time, so I bought a mini drawing pad and went to town.
Anyway, I say this was Tim's first big gig, mostly because I know Comedy Central does a show there, so I'm sure there's plenty of talent scouts. I had a great time there and the comics were hilarious, barring one or two who were utterly terrible. I was actually surprised not to hear any heckling, I guess the Gotham's too classy for that, haha.
Tim came up onto the stage near the end, and fuck, he was shot out of cannon, he had a very Dane Cook-esque energy to him. I hope that's not insulting to him, since I've heard around that Cook is pretty hated in some circles. Anyhow, he had some good jokes, and I was laughing alot at his X-box Live homophobe rant. Though I think his biggest joke, a joke about Super Smash Brothers was the weakest, though he saved himself by really selling the joke with his nutty acting skillz. If he's reading this, I just felt he was shooting at too narrow of an audience with such a specific game. All in all, I think he went over pretty well, and at the end of the night, I really did enjoy myself.
And as a little treat, he's some of my favorite doodles on the night:
