Last winter we drove up and encountered three separate snowstorms. Fortunately Joe and I did not perish in what has become a traditional, Act-of-God weather phenomenon on the drive up to Verona. The last show I did there probably had 50 audience members and Wednesday night we had about 80! At this rate I will be a world renowned comedian sometime after my 147th birthday!īut the show actually went really well. Then the casino re-configured their night club into a comedy room that was much smaller and more conducive to comedy. The first time I went there was a crowd of 25 in a room that sat 400. It is my third time performing at the casino and I am glad to say that the gig keeps improving with each trip. Wednesday I drove up (well, rode shotgun) with comedian Joe Pontillo to perform at the Turning Stone Casino.
The first gig was a spot at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY, which is somewhere near the north pole. So after a few weeks of dominating Call of Duty: Black Ops while stationed in my man-cave, AKA studio apartment, I headed back out onto the road Wednesday for a two week comedy trip.
