I like the "from where?" joke. In some ways it's more thought-provoking than funny, but those often go hand in hand anyway. Have you heard of the comic Kate Berlant? She has a performance piece on Hulu called Cinnamon in the Wind and it is BRILLIANT. That's where my sense of humor is landing these days. I'd love to know what you think of it.
Are you going to drop the address of this open mic? What time is it? Maybe I speak only for myself, but as someone who just got back to LA I'd love to see your 5 minute set >:D
I'll have to check out Kate Berlant's stand-up -- I've seen some of her stuff with John Early but not beyond. I don't have Hulu, so I'll just piece together a bunch of YouTube videos :)
Welcome back to LA! The open mic will be at the Glendale Room (127 N. Artsakh Ave, Glendale CA 91206) on Wednesday, 9/11, 8-10p. I'll get there earlier to sign-up.
wondering why substack here lets me comment on your post, but neither comment on your comments to me, nor interact with other commenters... substack's joke on me?

whew - not sure if I can call that a joke...

"Far from where?" is definitely more than a joke, and the more can crowd out the joke part.
Re. Substack, no clue. But that's odd. I didn't change any settings on my part -- I want people to comment on comments here.
ok, murphy's law - here it 's letting me comment back to you, though not allowing me to like your comment
trying a little 'reply' here just for good measure - but still can't like...
Are on a desktop or a phone?
