Here are some pics of my gig the other night at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center.
I did a couple of my old chestnuts, but decided to just wing it on some others. I wanted to see if doing coolmom since Spring of ’08 had helped my ability to make up comedy on the fly. I think it had. Either that or getting to the point of being older, having been through the ringer the last few years and not giving a sh–. It also helped that instead of being at a gross comedy club I was in the convivial arms of variety show produced by a couple of nice guys. One of whom I worked with at TV Guide.

Mark and my mom were there and they said I was good. So, if my mom says so I must have been!
I really enjoyed the riffs I did on the eve of election night. Like Jerry Brown laconically saying, “I’ve done it, I can do it.”

There were many talented people who appeared. Here is on of my faves. A great mash up of Obama and Gilbert and Sullivan.  It has gone viral and it’s popularity is well deserved.

Also, if you or anyone you know is struggling with identity or did in high school ( well, didn’t we all) but specifically sexual identity issues take a look at this.  My friend Michael made it.  He was inspired by the It gets better project.  His vid is very funny, but has a good message.  I wish that all parents of gay youths would respond to their kids as his mom did to him.
