Local comics, exceptional experience
Had a great time at the show. Joe Klocek’s crowd work is so fun. He clocks everything and makes it all memorable. The three young guys in front of me were falling over in laughter at times. The four gentlemen across the aisle looked like they might never go to a better comedy show in their lives. The three comics were fun, edgy and engaging. After each of the 1st two comics performrd, three audience members were chosen (those who put their name in the bowl get chosen randomly). And asked questions to see what they remember from the act. The six game show participants looked like they had the time of their lives. We were all rooting for Mike to come from behind to win the game. Susan’s first time on stage since puberty might be the beginning of her dancing or singing in the future. Marlon, although, “in it to win it”… still had a great time with his panel. The winning speed round went to Evelyn… a well deserved victory. But we all won. Because whenever Joe “clocked” something small.. we all got to feel like we were all seeing the same thing… all connected. All part of a community - the people who want to start the weekend on a Thursday. Disclosure: I’ve known Joe for over 25 years. Went 1st time to Get It as a comp with one of his ex-girlfriends. Back when he lived in Comic Central Apartment on 4th Avenue, I’d see him at Blue Danube and, even then, at 25, he had led an interesting life. He is a premiere emcee - who is both funny and whip smart. This would be a good show to bring a bunch of conference members to… actual entertainment in North Beach. On a Thursday night. Put your names in the hat and create a memory.
