I traveled with a bunch of other comedians who I knew through <a title=\"Garage Comedy\" href=\"http:\/\/garagecomedy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Garage Comedy<\/a> and we had tons of laughs and love and whatever else is positive. I did a 45 minute set in Caesar&#8217;s Court at Caesar&#8217;s Palace which was more stage-time than most everyone there. Either they liked me that much or scheduling went all screwy and I got lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jugglegood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/lookin_homeless.jpg\" alt=\"Looking Homeless - photo: Andrew Lasky\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, my show went over well. 5 minutes into the show, a drunk guy came up to the stage and started talking to me. Once I realized that he was good natured and ready to have fun, I tore into him. He hung out for the whole show and I slung jokes his way. If he was a curmudgeonous man, the jokes would have been at his expense, but they turned out to be at his delight&#8230; so I continued. Turned into a really terrific comedy show. Not many hecklers do it well, but it was a charmed night. On my page there&#8217;s a video of a few of the jokes between us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of that show I was invited for a long interview on the National Lampoon Comedy Radio. Kevin Couch loved my set and we got to chat about the difference between something and something else. I don&#8217;t remember what happened. You can watch it here:<br><object width=\"640\" height=\"505\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/66pgAqUKyGs&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/object><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was crazy. I had fun with <a title=\"Will Franken Absurdist Comedian\" href=\"http:\/\/willfranken.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Will Franken (the best sketch comedian in the world)<\/a> too. He wrote a <a title=\"Scot Nery &amp; Will Franken\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&amp;FriendID=149960017&amp;blogMonth=11&amp;blogDay=25&amp;blogYear=2007\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post about our 12 hour adventure<\/a> of talking to hooters girls and meeting some extremely homophobic girl and how we made her sick by letting her assume we were gay.&nbsp; It&#8217;s a really great story. I recommend reading it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh man, what a blog post. Then, separate from the comedy festival, we (the garage comedy folks and I) also did shows in a punk club, another place and a strip club. I didn&#8217;t like these shows, but I loved the fliers &#8212; pictured below. If you&#8217;ve never been to Vegas, these fliers are parody of prostitute advertisements made available for free on the strip.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jugglegood.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/stripper_cards.jpg\" alt=\"stripper cards\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The comedy festival was really fun.
