Skypains Avenue Couldn't make this up. So listen to our podcast jam with co-host Armand Dan.
Banders, don't be a jerk.
Cause when the music gets the funny hits, we are gonna take you down.
Stick around, make a sound, punk your downies, Dumb People Town.
Hey townies, welcome to a Friday episode of Dumb People Town.
Population you.
Population Wayne Fetterman.
Yes, yes.
Hi, everybody.
We should say things sound a little bit different.
We're split up.
Randy.
Why is that?
Why is that?
I may lie to ask.
Is it too personal?
We can cut it out.
We can cut it out later.
Deep custody battle over their comedy.
Yes.
I am in St. Louis because I'm taking care of our mom who just had open heart surgery,
but she is home and she is recovering.
And, you know, it was my job to kind of transition her out of the hospital.
But so I'm in my childhood home, in my childhood kitchen,
and we're still bringing the funny to you as best as we can.
We split the scars up, but we don't split up the comedy.
That's right.
How much stuff from your childhood is still in that house?
So much stuff.
There's a lot in the basement.
Too much.
At the bottom of the stairs.
There's a closet to the right.
Dan's been to this house.
He has?
Yeah.
What was your reaction to seeing the Museum of Sklar?
Oh, I think I was there for, what was that, the fifth night of Hanukkah?
Yeah. That's the best damn. That's the best
night. That's the best night. And we stood over
the sink and then you guys had something in a bag
that we kept eating. I think our mom
got you socks. No, somebody made something
and you guys ate it the entire
time we were there. It was some family
snack that your mom had left
for you guys. So our mom makes this
thing called Mayfair dressing. There was
a Mayfair hotel and they had a salad dressing, a Mayfair dressing. There was a Mayfair hotel.
And they made a salad dressing, a Mayfair dressing.
And she makes it and then puts it into a big jar.
So it was to make chips or bread or something.
No, no, no.
All day we're eating cauliflower, raw cauliflower and carrots,
and dipping it into this dip.
All day.
And shoving it in our stomach.
And then downstairs we're just like.
And that gave her the heart condition?
And now.
That's not a very fatty...
Anchovy-based.
That's a lot of mayonnaise.
No, no mayo.
No mayo.
I just remember old board games and a Cardinals pennant.
So, Wayne, let me ask you this.
Anything.
One of my favorite things in the world is to just show up to the improv
and see you there and just be like,
oh, we're going to just hang out with Wayne Fetterman tonight this is what this is what we're doing i'm gonna hang out with
wayne we're gonna do our set then i'm gonna hang out and then i'm gonna watch him and he's gonna
make me laugh uh i miss that i miss you buddy i really do miss hanging out with you what is going
on do you do let me ask you this in this pandemic has the world gotten dumber since we last hung out? I don't know. I don't look at the world the same way you guys do. So I,
I don't know if it's gotten dumber.
I am actually believe the world gets smarter over time. So that's my,
I know 180, 180 away from you guys. So, uh,
but yes, I just was talking about this the other day that not only do I miss doing the stand up and whatever this personal challenges of each show is slightly different.
And you have to kind of find the great combination for that crowd.
And you're like, oh, I figured it out.
Three quarters the way through.
But so that's incredible.
But the hang, I feel just as much for me, for me.
And I know some comics don't like the hang, but I just love it.
I love the way comedians think and riff off of things.
And it's just a really thrilling way.
Actually, I think it's one of the reasons comedians do well on podcasts.
Yeah, 100%.
Sure, yeah.
Anytime you put people together, there's an invisible thing,
certainly comedians, that just rises up between them.
We build something together always.
Even when we're just hanging out at the bar at the improv
or in the back out in the parking lot of the comedy store
or right on the podcast.
Yeah.
Yeah, the improv.
I mean, to me, what's fun is that I feel like we hang out.
We hang out the same way we do now as we did
when we were at Catch a Rising Star hanging out together or, you know, 25 years ago.
So like there is this feeling that like the time stops and we're just trying to make each other laugh.
And we're just and I feel like this keeps us young.
It just keeps it timeless in a really cool way.
Oh, my God.
Blood.
Well, let's let's get into it, because, you it because Wayne's got a competing point of view, Dan.
He believes the world's getting smarter.
We believe the world's getting dumber.
Our fans send us in great stories.
One of the ways you can do it is just tweet at Dan O'Vancurk a story and say hashtag dumb people town.
That way he knows who sent it first.
So let's get into a story while we have Wayne.
Let's get into it. Let's get into it.
Let's do it.
Great.
Here we go.
Sent in by Alvin.
I'd love to say this name.
Alvin Cadabay at ACadabay36.
What do we always say around Easter?
We always get excited.
We just had Easter.
Oh, yeah.
We just had Easter.
And the Cadabay eggs is one of my favorite things to guess.
It's caramely.
There's chocolate.
It's delicious.
There's a little egg kind of thing.
All right.
There's an actual egg in it.
There is not. In the Cadabay eggs, there are.
There is in the Mayfair dip, too.
Actual eggs.
Here we go. A joker mask,
a baseball hat,
a bus ride, an armed
robbery. Can we do this as
Carnac? A hundred percent.
A joker mask.
A joker. Do it, Wayne.
A joker mask. A mask. A joker. Do it, Wayne. A joker mask.
A baseball bat.
A bus ticket.
A bus ride.
A bus ride.
And an armed robbery.
Is that correct?
Yeah.
These are all things found in Diane Cannon's trunk.
What is an afternoon with Robert McKee?
All right.
Sorry.
What did Charo say to the customs agent?
Tell me you're a...
Everything owned by a broke cosplayer.
Okay.
All right.
How do you get into Logan Paul's entourage?
Calvin Caddy. A joker mask, a baseball hat, a bus ride, an armed robbery. Okay. All right. How do you get into Logan Paul's entourage? Calvin Canvay.
A joker mask, a baseball hat, a bus ride, an armed robbery.
Okay.
The password to the sex club.
No, I can't think of the guy.
The thought that counts.
Yeah.
I blew it.
The password into David Duchovny's sex club.
That's it.
That's better.
I was thinking about the guy from
Silicon Valley, Middle Ditch.
Top of Middle Ditch.
I couldn't get it out. This takes place in
Portland, Oregon, so that might make the headline
make more sense. These things will get you
in the middle of the ditch.
An Oregon man faces felony
charges after he allegedly
robbed a local watering
hole while wearing a Jokeroker mask and armed with
pepper spray and a bat so this is a guy who doesn't want like a class which is what's the
worst class one or class three felony because if it's not a gun right if it's not a gun it's not
a you're okay right i mean you're still gonna get rung up but the pepper spray says i'm gonna get
attacked right i need to protect you know what i pepper spray says, I'm going to get attacked.
Right.
I need to protect, you know what I mean?
The bat is like, I'm going on the offensive.
Are you guys surprised that more Joker mask crimes weren't committed right after that movie came out?
Yeah.
I think there probably was.
What was that mask?
It was sort of a Joker one, but it was from a movie.
Screen mask, or what was the Jabberwocky guys?
Yeah, yeah.
What was that mask called?
Was there a name for that mask?
I don't think so.
The screen mask was a popular mask.
Yes.
That like pulled down.
And then there was the It mask, you know, the Pennywise mask.
Yes.
And then there was the mask from the movie Mask, the Rocky Dennis story.
Right.
And then there was Joan Rivers' actual face.
Yes.
All of those terrifying things. And then there was Jim Carrey actual face yes all of those were terrifying me
and then there was
Jim Carrey's mask
yes
that also
and then the man
in the iron mask
all right here we go
Portland, Oregon
I want you to do
a mashup of those two movies
the mask and mask
yes
I think they should cut
those two movies
so Rocky Dennis
when he's getting picked on
by other students
should be like
oh
turn around
and then do the Robin Williams thing.
The Elvis impression.
Harold Lynn Van Hooser.
Wait, say that again.
I have a couple Van Hooser shirts, and they're great.
You do?
They're old school.
I got them at Joseph A. Bank, and they're fantastic.
Joseph A. Bank.
Harold Lynn Van Hooser.
Yep.
Harold Lynn Van Hooser.
Well, we know why he committed the crime.
His middle name is Lynn.
Thank you.
Faces charges.
You know, maybe as a kid, it was Hooser the Loser, and it stuck, and then that's bullying.
It all starts with bullying.
It does.
Out comes the pepper spray.
Right.
And speaking of bullying, I've never seen a more vivid example than the Sklar brothers
at somebody's bar mitzvah holding the microphone and bullying their way in.
Oh, I know. It was embarrassing.
Randy is okay with choking a bitch.
You choked that kid.
You choked that. You know who was that kid?
Danny Winograd. Choked a man
just to get on the mic, just like
Judy Gold did to us. I sent you guys a
cropped photo. At one point, there were
six little hands on that microphone
at one time.
There were. There was a fight for that mic it was like that it's like that photo of of donald trump and like the saudi arabian chic over that like yeah that orb yeah the orb the mic became all
right you'll get it someday and yeah anyway i'd never seen anything i didn't even know you guys
had that side of you where you're like we are not letting go of this and i was like we had to get it out as kids for inviting us to this facility i'm like
what are we what am i in the sopranos i mean how many sopranos 14 year olds can say they've run
the light at a bat mitzvah three we're 13 first of all the answer and uh what your mom what did
your mom say like about your energy then? Could she handle you?
Yes.
Yes, because you know what it was?
We were more of a nuisance to the world than we were to them.
So we didn't turn a lot of the rebellion in their face.
We just ruined someone else's bat mitzvah.
We were up in their faces.
We just took 11 minutes out of somebody's bat mitzvah. I were up in their faces. We just took 11 minutes out of
somebody's bat mitzvah.
I loved it. I couldn't have loved it more.
Me doing like a
you look marvelous.
You really do.
So bad.
Anyway, sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Speaking of Hauser.
The loser.
Harold Lynn Van Hooser.
Yeah, it was almost a Van
Hoosers who of who was
faces charges of first
degree robbery, two counts of unlawful
use of a weapon, first and second degree on
lawful use of mace and attempted
second degree assault.
He was arrested on
additional charges of kidnapping,
criminal mischief,
and assaulting a police officer.
But is it Multnomah?
Multnomah County prosecutors aren't pursuing those charges at this time.
So at some point, they were like, forget the criminal mischief,
and you assaulted.
Forget it.
Let's focus on these eight charges.
Yes.
What, did he kidnap someone?
Yeah, forget it.
All right, let's stick with the bat and the pepper spray.
Gresham police first spotted Van Hooser as he was, quote,
walking briskly, I love that, on East Powell Boulevard
while wearing a clown mask and sunglasses on Wednesday, April 7th,
according to a probable cause affidavit.
So when you put the sunglasses on a clown mask.
He didn't want people to notice that he was wearing a mask.
So the reason you wear a mask, Wayne,
is so that it can conceal your identity.
And then you leave the mask on,
and that is the way people can identify you.
Of course.
You can pick that person out immediately.
Of course.
But the sunglasses, I'm sure, was a great distraction.
We were just like, oh, there's somebody there
worried about UV rays.
Exactly.
Nothing to see here.
Right.
With the dispatch radio chattering about a bar robbery at Jimmy's at 851 Powell Boulevard,
in case anybody wants to add that to the walking tour,
Officer Hoker pulled over Powell.
TJ Hoker.
Pulled over on Powell, sorry, yes.
Spurring Van Hooser to pull
out an orange and black baseball
bat, according to court documents.
Pull it out of where? Pull it out of what?
That's what clowns do.
It's like it was a bouquet
of roses.
It was that streamer that never ends.
That was a bat.
That was a baseball bat.
That's at the end of the bat. I've never
hung around for that trick. It at the end of the bat I've never hung around
for that trick
he never hung around
at the
it's the end of the bat
out of his mouth
he keeps coming out
I'm like alright
I've seen
seen one thing
come out of the guy's mouth
enough
at the end of that
is a Louisville Sparta
a baseball bat
but if the cop had waited
one more
he would have gotten
the rings
yes
so it's an orange
and black
orange and black bat
is it a
Baltimore Orioles bat
that's what I was thinking. Cal Ripken
spelled back had to be a leg. It was
Billy Ripken's fuck face. That's the
bat that had to be a pant leg
had to be a pant leg had
to be a pant leg pull
officer hacker pulled over on Powell. That's when he pulled
out the baseball bat. The officer jumped
it back into the car and Van Hooser
brought the bat down on top
of the patrol car oh that's
documents say cops love that also why not just run you're in a mask with sunglasses walking briskly
yeah just run i know i love the brisk walk of like nothing to see here just a clown mask and
sunglasses this is when it starts. One leg. I'm not bending though.
One leg is briskly limping along.
Hi,
I have rickets.
This is when it starts to get fun for dumb people.
Tom Van Hooser attempted to pepper spray the officer.
Oh,
but then said,
quote,
I'm done and laid down on the ground.
So,
okay, I took my shot like that i did it
right did what i wanted to do right we've all made mistakes today i'm done was this bucket
list stuff for him like i did it that's all i wanted to do get the cop car rolled out of bat
i pulled out a bat and wait did i get rob jimmy's that was on the cop car with the bad pepper spray the cop now i'm done
that's like four things slowly oh no i walked briskly no i gotta start over we haven't talked
about this in years but in dumb people the to-do list in dumb people town is always the best part
right right and then they so i'm trying to think the sung sunglasses is my favorite aspect of this whole thing. I wonder if he must've had blue eyes and the eye,
the sun is just a little too sensitive.
If he was how far from his house,
do you think he would let himself be?
If he forgot the sunglasses,
like how to go back to go back and get them.
Cause there's a point at which you're like,
it's too far.
I can live without it.
Yes.
I think it's less than a mile I think if I
start my car in my driveway
and the sunglasses are in the house I'm
like there's no human
way I could go back to get it are you
ready for more fun Van Hooser
attempted to pepper spray the officer but then
said I'm done and
lay down on the ground right just
like a tired toddler
I'm done just like I'm done i'm done and then
limitated right and went to the yeah you ready for the real where it gets a real clown police
confiscated the clown mask and then found handcuffs a pocket knife fireworks a hammer, and a crowbar inside a Popeye's fast food bag records report.
Okay, so this he has a clown car of a Popeye's food bag.
He most definitely does.
How big is a Popeye's bag?
They can be big.
He's got a Mary Poppins fast food bag.
He doesn't marry Poppins bag.
It is a Mary.
He opens up the Popeye's bag.
Out comes a chicken sandwich and comes the hammer. Guys, this is everything in a Popeye's bag. Out comes a chicken sandwich. Then comes the hammer.
Guys, this is everything in a Popeye's bag.
And don't forget, he already had pepper spray.
Wayne, have you tried the Popeye's chicken sandwich?
I have not yet.
I know they're going crazy.
I know.
I know.
It sounds...
I've been...
We're doing it.
Sorry, I'm in quarantine.
We're doing it together.
There's a pandemic going on, guys.
For our next live show.
On our next live WDOT on May 22nd, we are trying the Popeye's chicken sandwich,
the Kentucky Fried Chicken chicken sandwich.
And the Chick-fil-A.
Chick-fil-A sandwich.
And I'm going to throw the McDonald's one in there too.
Throw it in.
Okay.
Try them all.
Love one for Ben's.
I did notice the Kentucky Fried Chicken jumped in the game.
I did notice that.
They did jump.
Yeah, a little late, I might add.
Yeah.
Chicken in the name, guys.
Let's go.
Wait, but so this guy clearly went there you remember he already had pepper spray and a baseball bat and now he's add to that he's got like a hardware store in there out of a popeyes bag
handcuffs pocket knife fireworks hammer crowbar hey you know what's a weird fireworks fireworks
is insane but it's like he's the kid in home Alone. So you know when the little engine that could.
When's the last time you read the little engine that could?
When it was age appropriate for me.
Okay.
I read it.
I read it.
That's right.
So they talk about all the toys that are in the train
as they're trying to get up the hill.
Yeah.
And they're like, there's a clown.
So maybe this is where this comes from.
There's a little ball there's a some
other little thing candy there's like a pocket knife and you're like whoa is this yeah like
remember when we used to just give those to little boys it was like a butterfly knife it's like
the kind of thing that could like carve a teardrop into someone's face in prison it still happens in
rochelle that's what we're giving the little kids to me. I hear fireworks
and I'm like he literally wants
to pop his own eye out. Yes,
while
all this is happening, another officer
who responded to Jimmy's, that's our
bar, interviewed bartender
Allison Venson
and who told police that
she had been robbed by a man wearing
a Joker mask who had entered the establishment, threatened one patron with a bat and
yelled, give me all your money. Wow. Per the documents, the suspect pepper
sprayed the man who was sitting at the video lottery machine and this guy's
over here just lose in his day. That's a tough day. Tough day because he
already honey. Where are you going?
I'm going to Jimmy's.
You're already started out bad.
I'm going to Jimmy's.
Are you going to be there?
No, no, no, no.
I'm going to go to Jimmy's.
I'm going to win some money.
I'm going to...
For five minutes,
I'm just going to play the video.
Don't do it.
Something bad is going to happen.
Nothing's bad.
I'm going to lose five bucks.
That's the worst thing that's going to happen.
Worst thing that's going to happen
is I lose five dollars.
That's the worst thing.
And his wife says,
Honey, it's a gamble.
Right. Little did a gamble. Right.
Little did she know.
Right.
No.
So he pepper sprayed the man who was sitting at the video lottery machine
and ordered the bartender to grab money from the safe.
When she returned, the masked man was gone.
And how much money was missing from the cash register?
So she goes to the safe.
I guess he uses. She actually went to it and got money. But when she
came back, he just decided to grab everything out of
the till. How much money
do you think he stole from
the cast register during the day? Right?
Yeah. What's sitting in
Jimmy's till during the day?
Three thirty. Yes.
Tuesday. Talk to me. How much?
I'm going to guess. I'm just throwing out a number here.
Okay.
I'm going to go $71.
Okay.
All right.
That's very good.
Jason, what do you think?
$163.50.
Okay.
I thought you were going to go $71 and one cent.
I say $204.
$204 is coming at me.
Wow.
$204.
Okay.
All right.
We will find out the answers right after we take a quick little break.
Stick around.
Make a sound.
There's more at Don't People Town.
Hey, guys.
Welcome back to the show.
We got Wayne Fetterman on the show.
Wayne, tell people how they can follow you
and what they can pick up of yours
because not only do you have great books,
you have a great album,
or you have a great book,
you have great albums,
you have just great stuff.
The Wayne Fetterman box set may be the most,
it may be one of the most joyous comedy albums.
Because you never record an album,
but you had recordings throughout your entire career
from the 80s all the way up until now.
And I listened to that, and it brought me so much joy to see your evolution.
It was a whole career.
It just was beautiful.
Yep.
The Chronicles of Fetterman.
Chronicles of Fetterman.
That's available, is it on iTunes and all that stuff?
Yeah, the whole thing.
You can buy tracks of it.
You can buy the whole thing.
Or you can just, they play some on Sirius Radio,
because every month I get something from Sound Exchange.
Have you signed up with those guys?
Yes.
It's great.
I'm kidding, obviously.
You guys.
Of course.
The Sklars know how to monetize.
Let me put it that way.
That's right.
Not well, mind you.
The Sklars have to monetize.
Oh, really?
Okay.
But yes, that's great.
The Pistol Pete book is unbelievable unbelievable which i love that what else can
people check you out at are you doing any virtual shows and what do you know i have a new book out
do you even know let's talk about it that's what i'm leading you it's called the uh history of
stand-up from mark twain to dave chappelle you guys are in it, by the way. I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The history of stand-up.
No one better.
I always hate it when someone who has no idea about stand-up and was like, this is the subject I want to write about,
like just jumps in and kind of, it's like,
I will always use this example.
Was it The Fan?
That's The Fan.
It was like a French director, an English director of The Fan,
and they had like the guy, and there was a guy from the dugout it was like a french director an english director of the fan and they had like
the guy and there was a guy from the dugout yeah the deniro movie and the wesley snipes so there's
a guy so basically there'd be a guy take a batter in the batter's box and then the next batter came
out of the dugout all the way up to the batter's box so there was no one in the on deck circle and
no one thought to be like hey you, unless it's a pinch hitter,
which I'm assuming every batter in this game is not a pinch hitter.
Correct.
They're not coming out of the dugout to be the next hitter.
You might want to get that right.
If you're doing a fucking baseball movie.
So the point is that people who don't know from the very intricate,
like, what did you just talk about at the top of the show?
The thing that you love the most,
half of it is doing your set and figuring out the dials to figure out what the other the other half is hanging out with the comedians
afterwards and it takes someone who's done it for years and years to understand like if you think
okay and i push back against exactly what you're saying yes because i feel like there's uh bill
simmons never played sports and can write and talk about sports with great acuity howard cosell the name of his
book was i never play the game and he was pretty good so i really like examples there are some
but they're both thank you they're both entrenched in the world yeah i don't know i mean bill simmons
less i definitely i mean covering and writing howard cosell Howard Cosell was more ensconced in the sports world
but I will say I would rather get a perspective on comedy from a comedian who's lived through
decades of comedy developing in the scene and whatnot so all right well thank you for saying
that yeah no I'm very excited about this book and now is it but it goes way back it starts around
1859 wow that's when uh with Mark Twain I mean before mark twain there was a guy named artemis ward
he ran a good time irera and then we get from there wait i think dom irera middled for twain
if i'm not mistaken he famously dom irera famously said to Twain, can I die from the thought of the talk?
You.
Can I die from the thought
of having to paint
the white fence?
No, what can you,
do you explain in your book
why Dom Herrera
has turned into
an old Japanese woman?
He'll say it about himself.
I love Dom Herrera.
So do I.
I love him too.
I love him so much.
He's the greatest.
So anyway,
I was just somebody
who's been kicking around a while.
I'm actually, yeah.
It's out now, Wayne?
It's out now, yeah.
And it's doing pretty well.
It's doing pretty well.
People seem to really,
and it's not a long read.
It's only like 150 pages.
I do the whole thing,
the comedy boom,
the 90s with you guys,
the 2000s,
but even the 50s,
vaudeville, burlesque,
the whole story.
So you cover sort of the Maisel area,
the Marvelous Maisel area?
Yeah, because there was five
incredible comics that came out
of the Greenwich Village scene of the
early 60s, pre-Comedy Club.
Bob Dylan.
Obviously, Peter, Paul, and Mary.
That's three.
Dylan is four. And Lenny Bruce. No, so it's Lenny Bruce. obviously about peter paul and mary yeah that's three that's three bill and his four
and lenny bruce no so it's lenny bruce no lenny bruce is not that's one thing mazels has wrong
he doesn't come out of that scene at all no pre this post mort saw pre-comedy club lord
there's five there's five that all started there who red fox bill cosby lord bill cosby's one bill cosby's the
first one that came out joan rivers bill cox is the first one and then someone drugged me and i
can't remember the right i can't remember this i don't want to make fun of that someone's listening
it was horribly treated i'm not i'm not all right then um woody allen and then klein and car carlin
and uh and and prior and ro Carlin and Pryor.
And Robert Klein.
No, Robert Klein's a little later.
I don't know why I said Robert Klein.
Wow.
So those five.
Look at how well it worked out for Cosby and Woody Allen.
Yeah.
Three out of five ain't bad.
That's right.
That's what they said about Peter, Paul, and Mary.
I know.
Okay.
Three out of five ain't bad.
All right, let's get back to this.
All right.
Before you remind it of everybody.
Yeah, let's get back. I don't want to talk about it. It's the out of five. Let's get back to this. All right. But before you remind everybody, let's get back.
The history of comedy
is the history of stand-up.
Stand-up from Mark Twain
to Dave Chappelle.
Yeah.
Damn.
I'm so excited about this.
From Mark Twain
to the man who won
the Mark Twain Award.
Yes.
Very true.
Yeah.
Okay.
Remind everybody
that we have a live show
with the Dobb,
Dough People Town.
Oh, really?
Why did I say Dobb? Dough Boys. Dough Boys. Dough People Town. the Dobb Dough People Town why did I say Dobb
Dough Boys
so it's Dough People Town
Nick and Mitch who are fantastic on the
podcast the Dough Boys I want everyone
here to come and show up to this show
you get your tickets at danielvancurk.com
or nowherecomedyclub.com
we'd love to see you there it's going to be a great mashup
of the two of us perhaps a Greenlee
the poster is incredible and Jeff Tice made.
And I just want to say this,
and I want to put this on you guys on your shoulders,
but I will say, I know the audience,
I want to keep doing these shows even as the world opens up
because I do feel like there are a lot of people
who want to see us live,
but they live in parts of the country and the world
that we probably aren't going to get to anytime soon. So these live shows are super fun. And based on the way
the world is, if it opens up really wide in the summertime, maybe we do these shows on an off
night, start doing them on Sunday nights or something like that. But this is something that
we don't want to stop doing. But if the demand goes down and less people come to the shows,
then it's going to be harder for us to keep them up.
But we would like to keep doing them in perpetuity.
We'd love to do them through the year and so on.
So let's get out for these shows.
The more people come, the more encouraged we are to keep doing them.
So that's go to NowhereComedyClub.com.
Go to DanielVanKirk.com.
You can get tickets for May 22nd.
