Corporate Gig in Redmond

    Tonight I am in Redmond for a corporate gig for a trucking company. I ride with another comic (Chase) to the venue which is 3 hours away and we get there an hour ahead of the show. The venue is great, they really made the place nice. Christmas lights are hanging up and they are having a big banquet with really good food. Me an chase just hang around till showtime meandering around the building and looking awkward.
   Show starts at 630 and Chase opens up with about 15-20 minutes to warm them up. Does well. Then I go up, Im the "headliner" and as soon as a grabbed the mic I was just in the zone. I gave them some trucker jokes about Big Trouble in Little China, Over the Top and Smoky and the Bandit which I wrote just for the show but I will probably keep cause I like them. I did about 45-50 minutes and felt great the entire time, even on stuff that didnt work I would just acknoledge it, say "ok, your not into that, moving on" and the crowd was on my side the whole time...most of the crowd. 1 old lady in the back was talking shit. Saying she'd kick my ass if I tried to hit her kid" (in relation to a joke about beating kids) and so I just played off her. I walked back to her (wireless mics) said "who said that" she got up, and I gave her a hug told her she was up past her bedtime, yadda yadda yadda.. and the crowd LOVED it. After the show a couple of people came up and told me she is a huge bitch so they all loved me ripping into her for a bit.
    This show was solid, better than I expected and I left feeling pretty damn good about myself. Also, the Goodwill in Redmond was stacked with Ric Flair Action Figures. Just for the record.
