Had a great time at Topaz show last night in DC and Ri Ra in Arlington on Wed night. Doing two more shows in the area on Saturday night (9/5):
8:00pm Laugh Riot at the Hyatt @ Hyatt Regency Bethesday Hotel (2 for 1 coupon)
10:30pm Stand-Up Comedy at the Old Arlington Grill @ Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse
Last night's Topaz show was super hot crowd. Some really funny, experienced comics on it but they even put up some newbies and one person who had NEVER before performed standup too. I just sat there thinking about how nice it must be to start somewhere that's not NYC. Getting exposed to a crowd like that requires a heck of a lot more "dues paying" in the Big Apple.
