The Stress Factory.

Last night, I did stand-up at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, NJ, and had the bad luck to follow a train-wreck unfunny guy who went ten minutes over his time. I thanked him for warming up the crowd for me, and did he EVER get a pissed-off expression as he sat there ( Read more... )

dude, that was a great line. Don't let Jimmy Norton hear it, he'd steal it.

Thanks. If that guy had not been so unfunny for 15 minutes, I would have gotten bigger laughs.
