Last I emceed the “Open Mike Talent Search” at the Funny Bone. Here’s my favorite moments.
– One guy opened up with a donkey show joke…then smoothly transitioned into giving parenting advice. Hmm, I’m all ears!
– One contestant forgot her material 30 seconds in. This is usually not good for comedians.
– I realized no one in the crowd was up for answering any questions. After a lot of blank stares, I surmised aloud that the crowd was full of orphans that didn’t like sports, know Columbus had a casino and were all straight people that hung out in gay bars. That got more laughs than anything else I did all night.
Overall it was a good show, but I realized I forgot to zip up my pants for ten minutes after the tinkle I took. Thank God I didn’t go onstage like that, but I’m pretty sure at least seven people saw my undies. I am going to be a mess when I’m old, but in fairness, old people usually don’t care. Take it all in, strangers!
