What happens an hour and half past Vegas....
I went back on the road, somewhat, this past weekend. My friend Dwayne Perkins called me up and asked if I wanted to go along with him to a gig. For some strange reason, I thought the gig was going to be in Northern California but it turned out to be in Mesquite, NV.
Mesquite is about 80 miles past Vegas...a post Vegas if you will. It seemed like the casino we performed at comprised the entire town. There didn't seem to much else there.
The show was good, though. An older crowd but they dug it. Being on the road again and having conversations about the artform of comedy with Dwayne really gave me the bug again to get out and do a lot more shows. I had kind of stepped back a little with it and the past few months I've been performing more and more.
Dwayne and I always have a great time when we work together and we've actually written a lot of material together (we used to be part of a regular, weekly workshop with Tim McIntire and few other comics). I've said it before but it bears repeating...if you haven't seen Dwayne perform, make an effort to do so. You'll be glad you did and can be one of the people to say "I saw him when..." when he blows up big.
