Montreal #2
Fun show last night at a bar called Bourbon Street, which, ironically, didn't have any goddamn bourbon. Worked with three great comics, to whom I'd link if I could remember any of their last names. Apparently the beer/coffee/fishstick diet ain't great for one's short term memory. But Phil, Dave, and Joey...great stuff, even if Joey (local headliner, national sensation, mack daddy) was a touch in alpha dog mode on stage (p.s. he rock-diddly-ocked).
Had a decent set. I was curious to see how my usual material would go over in Canada. Generally okay, but I am going to switch up the order a bit. The Too Fat to Hang bit ran up against the fact that most Canadians think we Americans are kind of douchebags (douche is French, non?) for our system of capital punishment, so it was a bit of a rocky start. Ended strong, and after talking to folks last night, I will certainly be working in the George Bush material. They hate him as much, if not more, than we do (we=right thinking Americans). Tonight's at the actual Comedy Nest, and I'm already looking forward to it.
I haven't been here long enough to come to any broad conclusions about Montreal, other than the fact that everybody here is fucking gorgeous. Even the gaming nerds next to me here in the cyber cafe are pretty sexxxie, in a too-much-Red-Bull-too-many-Dunhills kind of way.
Other random observations:
* Much Music kicks MTV's ass
* 2 dollar coins are the stupidest form of currency I've ever encountered
* Must bring my own whiskey next time
* 4 channels of scrambled porn!!!
* Can still reach orgasm to scrambled porn
* Poutine, poutine, poutine
* Verizon's National SingleRate plan only includes one nation
* Am not going to get nearly as much writing done as originally planned
* Good fishsticks!
