Last night, Mike and I went on a double-pseudo-date with Sissy and Roro at the Improv. I scored some free tickets from Craigslist, so we figured why not. They did enforce the 2-drink minimum though, which is really where they get you. You feel good about not having to pay to get it, but then have to spend 10 bucks for a foo-foo drink x 2...
The show was mediocre. Jokes were over-done, the "producer" stopped the show and made us watch an excruciatingly stupid self-produced skit about masturbation, and the other half the comedians took a little longer than they probably should to read the crowd. It was a tough crowd, though, so I felt some sympathy for them.
We sat at about the second row beside the stage so I had a pretty good view of people's reactions (or lack thereof). There was an old guy who plopped right in center stage who NOT ONCE even break a smile. Seriously dude, maybe you shouldn't come back.
Ironically enough (considering more than half of the audience was probably latino), the jokes that got the most attention were the ones that screamed racial connotations. They didn't care much about skits on alien invasions but laughed their asses off when the comedians started calling Mexicans lazy. Go figure.
