Spoiler alert – this will make me sound unprofessional, but it’s the simple truth. \u00a0Last night I had the honor and privilege of performing with some of the greats in Clean Comedy. \u00a0I don’t know what fairy decided to fart luck dust onto me, but thanks to my friend Jonnie W., I somehow managed to end up doing a short opening for comedic greats Rik Roberts and the colossus Michael Jr.<\/p>\n

The real treat was getting to watch these guys in action. \u00a0Rik Roberts took the crowd by storm. \u00a0And I have never seen such calm demeanor as when Michael Jr. is on (and off) the stage. \u00a0His crowd work and improvisation was incredible and the best I have ever seen. \u00a0Yet he was also kind and offered sound advice and council out of his 20+ years knowledge in the comedy biz. \u00a0Here is Rik’s\u00a0site<\/a>, and Michael Jr.’s\u00a0site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It should also certainly be mentioned that the evening was hosted by the great Jonnie W. who has recently performed along side Tim Hawkins, Bob Smiley, etc. (The list goes on and on). \u00a0A big surprise also came in the form of Jason Earls featuring for the evening. \u00a0A last minute addition that was overwhelmingly welcomed by the crowd! \u00a0Check out Jason on his\u00a0site<\/a>, and Jonnie on\u00a0his<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the biggest and best part of the night came in the form of Love. \u00a0Money was raised, entertainment was given, and free merchandise was given away all in the name of the Buddy Break Program. \u00a0The Buddy Break Program is dedicated to sharing hope with kids with special needs (VIP kids) and their families.<\/p>\n
