Helium

   Tonight is the first night of a 3 day stretch at Helium Comedy Club where I am opening for Joey Diaz! Im coming right off a great Dirty Dozen show and am feeling great. I get to the club early and settle in the green room for a minutes and wait for the other comics. Zak shows up after a couple mins and we bullshit with each other as usual. Joey shows up about 5 to showtime and is super friendly, talkative, and down to earth. Really great guy.
     I go up and do about 14 mins of material and to a pretty solid crown. The place was packed but they werent laughing to much for the first 5 minutes. After they started though, it didnt stop and I closed strong. Zak and Joey had great sets as you would imagine, and the crowd was really warm for them.
   I gave Joey a ride back to his hotel after the show and he was talking to about some great stuff on the ride back. He knows the Pacific NW scene and was talking about comedy in Bend and Seattle and it was great to hear his perspective on things.
