Just Follow the Bouncing Bunny...Dong

That Wascally Wabbit, Scotty The Blue Bunny.

Belly Laugh is a road journal as well as a healthy menu guide of places I perform at while on the road. Many times I lose and splurge as ice cream sundaes are hard to say no to, but I never fail at making people laugh...even if it's just myself.

This has been one of the most interesting weeks in comedy regarding audiences, from 50-year-old drunk women in the corner to razor blade swallowing aficionados. Each venue was completely different and challenging in their own way. Wednesday night I performed at Diana Hassenger's new show at the 15th Ave. Coffee & Tea on Capitol Hill. The staff was incredibly kind and had placed the show poster up by the coffee beans all week for the regulars to see. The show featured an all-comedienne lineup at first: Hassenger, Carol Maki, Sarah Skilling and me. Later in the evening "The Big Funny," Travis Simmons, graced the stage as well. Hassenger had packed the room with a slightly older and more respectful audience. This wasn't a heckling breeding ground by any means. This was more like performing your jokes in front of your family if your family was the Waltons.
