Bathroom Humor
I was at a show at the Hollywood Improv recently. It was the first time I had been in that room and had a good time. That’s mostly because I wasn’t performing. The show I went to see had a great line up: Greg Fitzsimons, Andy Kindler, Sarah Silverman, Dom Irrera, Allen Havey, and Jerrod Carmichael. Jerrod Carmichael was the only performer I didn’t know beforehand. He also happened to be the only Black guy. (Fast forward) After the show was over, I went to the men’s room, as I’m at the urinal this guy reaches for the door to leave, and as he opens the door he looks over to me and says “Great show.” As soon as the words leave his lips, he realizes that I’m not Jerrod Carmichael and says “Oh, you’re not the guy.” The way he said it I honestly couldn’t tell if he was joking or not. After thinking about it for a few hours, I realized he probably wasn’t but I was flattered nonetheless. That’s the first complement I had ever received in the building. The only thing that bought down my mood was when a lady didn’t know who Dom Irrera and expressed her surprise that the was funny.
