Gilbert Gottfried

Prior to Gilbert, I fired up 2 $33 SnGs prior to going out. David generously offered to take me to Midtown so I could meet up with Andrea later and not have two cars. David was ready early, but my two SnGs were on fire, and both finished ITM. I actually took a 1st and a 2nd (+$174) for a nice score and to climb within breathing distance of breaking into the black on Tournament play (according to PokerTracker). See the thread about the live game on Sat for the results!

So Gilbert was pretty good on Friday night. Went with Andrea, Patrick, David, and Randi. I was very surprised that the room was only 20% full that night. Is he really that old? I must admit, the 1st and last 10 minutes of the show had me crying, but he isn't nearly as funny in standup as he is when he is roasting someone (e.g. the Howard Stern Show).

His schtick was pretty clean too, not dirty at all. His roasts can be so profane, which I must admit, is the good part.

We were at the Laff Stop after a routine trip to PJs beforehand. Most of the biggest comics play the Improv now at I-10 and 610, but there are still some good headliners at River Oaks. Lisa Lampinelli is coming in a few weeks, she stole the show at the Comedy Central Pam Anderson Roast.
