Cap City Comedy Club

Cap City has gone under. Sad but true. Margie Coyle did everything she could do in the face of Trumps disastrous ignorance. I will stikkll be around. and whenI. come into some dough, I'll open my own comedy room. RIP Cap City.

Walking on Water. I was chosen as the host for an awards banquet for an outgoing minister. This woman was not only an ordained minister, she was a highly revered icon in this respected field. I was given the honor because of my reputation as a joke writer for a popular late nite talkshow so I knew they wanted levity in an otherwise solemn event. Nobody expected me to praise her but wanted brief humorous insights. First as I sat observing the first thing I noticed was the carriers were so busy that they feel behind and the salad course threw the staff a loop so by the time the enter was served, the attendees were ravenous and edgy. So following my introduction I said, “I’ll get the meat of my message before it get cold. To a mild response. No matter, I wanted to open with a comment about something that was clearly on everyone’s mind, pointing to the obvious. My second comment was pandering to the keynote speaker in terms recognizable to the assemblage. Thank you for this honor. I admit I was hesitant because as a humorist expected to be somewhat snarky, I knew making negative comments about the woman or event would fall as flat as the Texas Panhandle. I said, “It took a lot of faith for me to be here this evening, it reminded me of when Jesus was walking on water and beckoned Petter to demonstrate his faith by following Jesus. Tonight I follow Katherine and pray my faith will keep me from sinking.”
Then I proceeded to deliver a series of short on-liners that were used in a monologue of The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno. My stage time was fewer that ten minutes and I received substantial applause.
