Audience . . .

. . . Never! . . .


(from The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass [new translation by Breon Mitchell])
"". . . You know, Herr Bebra, I prefer to be part of the audience, to allow my little art to bloom in secret, far from all applause, but I would be the last person to fail to applaud your performances." Herr Bebra raised his crumpled forefinger and admonished me: "My dear Oskar, take it from an experienced colleague. The likes of us should never be part of the audience. We have to be on the stage, in the arena. We have to perform and direct the action, otherwise our kind will be manipulated by those to do. And they'll all too happily pull a fast one on us.". . ."

Belisimo . . .





Comic Belisimo

Looking forward to seeing you guys again. He stage is 8x8. 1 foot high. Adequate for comedy. I'm not sure if sure that's big enough.
Must everyone be on the stage or can 2 of us be on the floor?
On the floor is fine.
Great. David can have the stage w/the PA system. We're VERY compact

I forgot . . .


Dear Tony,
Just to let you know, last Friday was not exactly a great tip night.  Not only were there not ANY forthcoming, but the tip bucket was off to the side of the stage and I couldn't remember to move it front and center.  The crowd was visibly and audibly appreciative of my efforts though.  The vineyard is a very nice venue for both the crowds and the ambience. But finally, at the end of the evening, someone anxiously wanted to find the tip jar and asked me where it was.  I knew, even though as I said I still had not put it in its proper place, so I told him.  He place his gratuity in the proper receptacle and expressed his enjoyment at the performance.  I, superior intellect that I am, thought to myself, 'don't forget to retrieve that before you leave.'

So to the point, in case you're wondering about that by now, I collected my fee from the staff, packed all my gear car and drove away.  About two miles up the road, I realized that I did, indeed, forget to retrieve the tip before I left.  I thought to myself, no point in turning around at 9:30PM when I have a 40 minute ride ahead of me and the amount, while greatly appreciated, was probably minimal. I am writing to you to say, please help yourself to the tip, if it is still in the bucket.  But, I did want to mention, if it's perchance a hundred dollars or some larger amount, I hope you will consider splitting it with me.
