Rick's Cafe Americain

It’s too late and I’m too tired to blog the details, but my first appearance as a stand-up comic went at least as well as I could have expected.  I finished tied for second in my preliminary heat at the “Funniest Amateur Jewish Comic” contest at Gotham on Tuesday night.

By finishing second I advance to the finals on June 29th.  Details to follow.

Expect a longer post about this in the future, but for now I have to get some sleep so that I can be awake enough tomorrow to tinker with the material and add another five minutes for the “Funniest Lawyer” contest at Stand-Up New York.

Thanks to everyone that made it out and thanks in advance for those coming tonight.

Nice job!  And good luck in the future.  I keep telling myself I’m going to try my hand at stand up and I keep wimping out.  If all else fails, then go with the ovaltine routine.  Its gold Ugarte...GOLD!

COngrats, Mr. Star. I apologize for not making it (long story, which I’ll share in person)... but I will be there for your next round for sure!

I did my best and mentioned your gig(s) on both sites!!

I noticed, Pauly. Was hoping to thank you in person. We’ll talk over the felt after my vacation if you can’t make it out tonight.

Also, thanks to gza-prime for the kind words.  I floated over to your blog: if Brian Regan is your idea of a great comedian ...

we have similar tastes.
