Jay and I had a date night last night. We decided to do a very grown up thing and check out Zanies. This was our first experience with live stand up comedy.
We arrived early. Why? We had to beat that mad Wednesday rush to get a good seat! Or... something like that. At Zanies, you have to buy 2 items off the menu. I guess that makes up for the lack of cover charge. The price of the fried bar food was similar to a movie theater, expensive for not in the basket.
We sat in the middle of the stage. That was a mistake. There was a whole 20 people in the audience. The host came out and stared directly down the middle of the room. Remember where we were sitting? He would tell a joke and wait, looking right at us, for a laugh. It was one of those times when you break out into a cold, awkward sweat because you know he is watching you, judging his success on how many times he sees you laugh. OY! There were some local comics that were pretty funny. They were able to get the whole room laughing. The main act, Lahna Turner, was a musical comedian. She was funny. The Mayonnaise Song was my favorite song of the evening. Overall, it was a good grown-up night. We were able to do a grown up activity for the first time in a long time.
Just as a side note. If you on stage, no matter the size of the audience, make sure the under-roos are adjusted appropriately BEFORE you go on stage. Let it be known, in case there were in questions, digging in the booty region on stage in not funny. It's really gross!
