The Joy of Comedy

Finally an appreciation that hit home. A few weeks ago another comic saw my set and invited me for a paid private party. After 50 miles of driving I arrived to a 30th Birthday Bash. The audience was American and Latino. I was the feature act in a regular comedy setup. The host a Latino comic pronounced my name as "niti" "kan".

I couldn't have been setup with a more perfect opener. "Now I know how to say my name in Spanish." It allowed me the perfect segue into my accent joke and the rest of my set.

The gig was outdoors, the weather was gorgeous, there was booze, food, the audience was there to laugh and appreciate.

After a great act as I left the stage, someone stuck a $100-tip into my hands. Life is good.
