That’s not only the name of a popular book,
but it’s a philosophy for finding humor. One of the shows I performed at this week was for 600 women at a church. The crowd was so big that they turned the men’s room into a ladies room. . . and guess which one I used?
Here I am at the Comedy Show w/600 friends!
Right, the men’s room line was
shorter, but it also gave me some good material. Namely that there is a baby changing station in there. Who knew? I joked that sure there’s a changing station in there, but IT’S NEVER BEEN USED.This got a huge laugh and applause. Apparently many of the mom’s could relate.
I had also walked around the “Peddler’s Village”
that afternoon. It was a quaint (or trying to be anyway) little village, and I popped into several stores. . .that gave me a great line as well when I mentioned that the word peddler drums up images of an old man selling CHEAP stuff. Not so much. Everyone “got it” when I said the word cheap. . .as this town’s stores were not cheap.
