My first time

Full circle of Comedy

David — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 19:30:22 +0000

My first ever real road gig I went to Cranbrook, Cranbrook has a regular comedy show every Friday and Saturday night, except in summer they shut it down. It’s a gig that won’t change anyone’s careers, however it’s a good gig. Well the first time I did it I was the openner it was way back in 2003. The headliner was a comic named Kelly Dixon who had done the gig many, many times. I remember one show going well and the next one not going so well. It was a good experience and I did my 30 minutes and brought up the headliner.

Flash forward eight years later and now it is I who is the headliner and I am with a new guy with whom this is there first time. It is not a big accomplishment but non the less it is an accomplishment. You see a career has to go forward and in this case it has, the shows were pretty good and the hotel was nice but more important I was the headliner and I was the Teacher no longer the student.

Taking the Greyhound

David — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:25:13 +0000

Yes folks even though my career is going well, I still have to take Greyhound once and awhile. This was the trip I took: Edmonton to Regina 10 hours. Ouch I know.

When taking the greyhound I’ve always believed that the best way to do it is to take an overnight trip. I hate losing an entire day on the bus only to get to a place and go to bed not to mention the bus is so damn boring that you might as well sleep to kill time.

If the bus was just a direct route, with no stops life would be ok. However when the bus comes to a stop they have to make announcements, which wake me up and I am not one to go right back to sleep so how annoying is it to wake up every three hours to tell you it’s not your stop only to have another hour before I fall asleep again.

One good thing was that everyone on the bus was quiet, sometimes you get some chatty people on the bus who keep some people up, but this trip all was quiet.

Of course there is a direct route to Regina, but we stopped in Lloydminister, North Battleford, Saskatoon, Kenaston, and a few I can’t remember. But I arrived safe and sound and it only cost 120 bucks. When you look at gas prices I think I did O.K.

How does Eric Stoltz feel.

Well for those of you who didn’t know Back to the future is now on blue ray and it has footage of the original lead actor Eric Stoltz.

Now what is it like to film a picture for three weeks with Producer Steven Spielberg only to be told, we’re just not getting the laughs with you. Now you will never be in this movie and go away. It must of been rough and yet as a fan of Back to the Future I can’t imagine anyone else except Michael J. Fox in this film. Think of all the other actors who had to re shoot those three weeks and I am sure a few couldn’t do it again so they were cut out of the film. This trilogy is just a reminder of there’s a reason movies cost so much to make.

As I look at Eric Stoltz’s IMDB i see he still works today, with some TV appearances on hit shows like Grey’s anatomy and made for TV movies and small parts in bigger films, lets face it he’s not hurting for success or cash, but still every time he flips through the TV and sees Back to the Future is on it’s gotta hurt a little.

X-mas Time

David — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:10:15 +0000

X-mas time has got to be my favorite time of the year. When you look at it it’s really miserable time it’s cold and/or wet. Traffic is slow you have to wake up earlier to get where your going and clean the driveway. And yet along with all these troubles we have decorated this place it bright colors we hold doors open for strangers and eat and drink and generally be Merry. I am very lucky that it is also the busy time of the year for me because I need the extra cash.

Even with the current recession there are still x-mas parties that want to have a comic perform for them and I get to dress up and work clean. No bars for me this season just a relaxed hotel hall with people celebrating with there co-workers. Even Though I have to travel away to do it it is still a good time of the year for me.

Merry X-mas to all.
