Stand up on the weekend. Again.

I'll be working out this weekend again and trying to build more minutes.
Actually I'll be at Absolute Comedy a new club in the old Yuks location at Yonge an Egg Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
I'll be just doing a short spot-10 minutes or so- but as I say I'm trying to keep getting some time so that I can work on new stuff.
Years ago when I did this comedy thing full time I could do nearly an hour. The thing is I'm trying to write all new stuff so that I can do some corporate gigs as a comic again.
No I can't do much from my old act...those Reagan jokes just don't seem as fresh anymore.

I'll be working with my old pal Lou Eisen, a comic that I've done many shows with over the years and even spent a few laugh-less months working on the Puppet Show together. (Other people call it Ed's Night Party. To me it will always be "That Not funny Puppet Show!")
I'll let you know if I get anything thrown at me.
Here's a piece that I have been doing for a while and it's working pretty well.

When my wife was pregnant with our first kid, we found out the sex of the baby and one of her friends thought that was horrible.
OY, she said, you'll RUIN THE SURPRISE!
Trust me..when I observe a miniature human life-form crawling out of my wifes yahimba..i’ll be surprised. Believe me I was surprised...and slightly horrified and a bit nauseous.
Ruin the surprise…How big a surprise can their be???it’s either a boy or a girl.
It’s not like, Oh, you've given birth to a Squid! Oh my God that is a surpries.
You've got a beautiful baby squid...congratulations Aqua Dad.

Ha ha, then I do some more pee pee and poo poo jokes and sculk off the stage.
