North Carolina.
Otis isn't performing at iO anymore, but that doesn't mean we're not performing at all. We're one of several Chicago groups invited down to Raleigh to perform at the Comedy Worx theater this weekend. Ironically, Comedy Worx is also iO South, part of the ever-growing iO empire. So, I guess we are still peforming at iO, sort of.
Here's some of Otis, out front. Marc, Duffy (Unemployed), Hedges (Warehouse Manager) and Joe.
So far it's been a good little festival with fun shows and great crowds. Everything seems well organized, despite the fact that earlier this week a city truck lost control and slammed through the front wall of the theater. Then the city tried to close the theater down for... well... having a giant hole in it's front wall, despite the fact that that hole was the city's fault. Luckily, a temporary wall and front door were put up and shows, as they say, went on.
We were assured that we didn't have to be clean during our show. And, uh... we weren't. I was about to write that we weren't unusually filthy either, although... looking back, Marc did drop the c-bomb during the show.
Joe kept saying that we should end each scene in our show by saying, "and clean!" ala "and scene!" (by the way, I've never heard anyone say "and scene" in a way that wasn't a joke)
I suggested the sign be changed to "Funny and/or Clean."
