Hoping to build on the strength of my initial appearances at S.I.N.’s Comedy Night performing Borscht-Belt style comedy (a video documents my first performance and is available only on Facebook), I once again took to the stage this past Thursday, merely three days after returning to Berlin. Boy, was it a tough crowd! Under the circumstances, I think it went off pretty well. The great thing about the recording that I’m posting below is how you can’t tell when I lose my place and need to glance down at my notes! That, and the girl who was taking audio is laughing especially loudly - which creates the illusion that the whole bar erupted in peals of delirious laughter. Would that that had been the case.

Before posting this, I’m required by U.S. federal law to warn all minors that the following program contains obscene language, so please tune in kiddies!

p.s. - Apologies to my dog Alfie, who is in fact very much alive.
