Reply To: Audacity of Jokes
Quick hit, before I go pass out: Jonathan did three songs, owned the room, made some new fans clearly. Skullcrusher Mountain, First of May and The Presidents (!), which included harmonica neck holding thingee and corrected lyrics for the assassination. Ended up sitting next to some other JoCo fans, including a couple that sat at the table next to me at the Highline. Said Hi to Kristen and Allie, walked three blocks back towards the train without them telling the nonstop talking creepy guy to go away. Always a plus.
Biggest applause of the night was the end of The Presidents, when Jonathan just let that last line hang there and slowly, sagely, shook his head no to making a political statement.
Rest of the comedians were hit and miss. I already loved Amy Shumer, and she performed pretty much her regular routine to great success.
Most importantly: Yes, I got video, but I’m unsure that both the video or the audio is going to come out any good. I’ll see about getting it out there tomorrow night.
EDIT: Video is fine, but audio is awful. He was just too far away from my tiny speakers. =/ I’ll see what I can do, probably put it up anyway with a warning about shitty audio.
