Okay So I am in the middle of a tour of the East Coast the rain and the smell of I am not sure what in the air out here makes me feel like telling a story. Could it be the fish guts with sadness sprinkles and a grey sky that seems to almost want to fire snow at my head? I do not know but here in maritime Canada some unforgettable memories were tattooed into my brain. In 2008 but it may have been 2007 I embarked on an ill-fated tour of these parts. It was me accompanied by four other Montreal comedians (at the time I lived and loved in Montreal, I now live in Toronto where I live cleaner and love with protection that was not fashioned out of a grocery bag). We got in a rented van 5 hours later than hoped for in our eyes were hope, cigarettes in our mouth and beer constantly being offered in exchange for payment which for some reason we constantly drank and accepted. Now remember when I said I will never forget those 5 days, what I meant to say was I remember being in the van, I remember a guy threatening to shoot me with a rifle in Porters Lake Nova Scotia (the story is lame but when condensed into a sentence it sounds awesome), I recall a beefy bouncer lady asking me to her apartment to dance (this is one of the greatest things I have ever heard based on the confidence the statement was delivered and that her voice was so high and flighty. I also think I remember her rubbing her frontal portion of her thigh like she was applying butter to bread. For the record I went back to the house we were staying in and danced by myself.) and the rest of the time is a blur of drinking oland beer and yelling at one of the comics who had started smoking at like 24 years old. Am I happy to be back to make another blur in my bread basket. Yes.
Here is why last night we had a show for 10 people, they (as in the audience) asked to not cancel the show. Those ten people rocked, they laughed, they cried (I showed them my scars) and they were supportive. Thank you ten people I want you all come back to my house to dance.
