You've been to a comedy club so you know how the routine goes. If you want even half a chance at a decent seat/don't want to sit in the front row and be heckled by the comedian all night you have stand in line for at least an hour before you even hit the doors. 

Which, if you think about it, is the perfect first date. Forget about watching how the other party treats the waitress...put someone in heels and make them stand still for an hour,  you'll have a pretty good idea as to how he'll treat your mother.

But anywhoo...we stood in line for an hour all decked out in our going-out finery. Nothing quite like the evening look at 3:30 on a Sunday afternoon, false eyelashes and cleavage flying. But it was OK- that area has a serious prostitution problem, so I got offered a fifty to just 'watch' while standing in line to use the bathroom at Starbucks.

I still got it, yeah! Wooo, wooo. Arms in the air, waving like I just don't care.

So we're standing in line and all the sudden something occurs to me. There's an awful lot of little people mulling around. No, not TLC little people but what the hell are you doing in a comedy club little people.  I was trying to be extra careful but in the bathroom I had to give my friend the look. You know the look- like what the hell kinda parent are you to take your kid into a comedy club look? 

I love me some kids just as much as the next person (no, I don't. I'm totally lying) but a comedy club? Even the people on stage are a little taken aback. They look out a little confused Oh...well...kids...hmmm...at....a... comedy club...okay... there goes my joke about a nun, three chipmunks and a jar of nutella. 

I'm exaggerating (color you surprised) all three did great. Nary a curse word escaped the bunch. But enough about inappropriate places to take your kids.

When you go to a comedy club- you're never sure how the first two acts are going to go but I have to tell you I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Tears streaming down my face laughter. 

I've tried to find YouTube of these guys but this was all I could find. Thank God he's cut his hair, much cuter now.



I love comedy clubs. I saw Greg Behrendt do a skit about cake that made me pee my pants back before he hated all women and destroyed their hopes and dreams with his stupid book.

Sometimes you have to do this kinda thing, escape with the girls and just have a great time.

One nght, in a bar (in a BAR) I was asked to not cuss because the family sitting next to us had kids (KIDS) in a bar (had I mentioned I was in a BAR?). I'm all for kids like you say, but there are places for them and that is away from me (unless it's one of my perfect nieces)...

I get really unnerved when people take children to an inappropriate venue, then expect others to alter perfectly acceptable adult behavior. I am sorry you couldn''t get a babysitter, I really do understand, I remember what it was like STAYING HOME when that would happen, asshats!

Glad you had so much fun, though!!!

If you bring your kids to a bar, a comedy club or any other place that may not necessarily be where they should be and I'm there and maybe drinking? Little Susie and Jr are probably going to come home with a whole new vocabulary.. juss sayin
