Just for Laughs

This Friday Mike and I decided to go to the Just for Laughs comedy tour that was playing at the Orpheum.

I love the Orpheum because it has a lot of character. It is a very old building and there are chandeliers everywhere. It has a very mid-evil sort of feel.

We met after work and went out for dinner at a place near the theater that we hadn't tried before.
It was very good and reasonable. We will go there again.
We had a drink while waiting for the show to begin.

Another thing the Orpheum has are all these cool antiquish chairs and sofas everywhere.

They had this guy who went on first to warm up the crowd. He had this routine of balancing and spitting balls out of his mouth and catching them on his hat and on different body parts.

We decided to miss that and enjoy our drinks and visit the restroom one last time. We can see that sort of thing any day if we go over to Granville Island.

So there were 5 comics in total with another comic who was introducing them and doing some stand up in between.

The whole show was about relationships. Single, dating, engaged, newly weds, married, married with kids, etc.

It was hilarious. So funny. We were crying, our sides hurt and could not catch our breath it was so funny.

I haven't laughed that hard in ages, it was worth it for sure. The comics were the sort of people who are regulars on David Letterman, Jay Leno and Conan O'Brian's shows.

As I write this it is starting to clear up. We'll probably get going and go for a walk somewhere.
We've had a really good Fall so far. Much less rain than last year I think and it's still fairly warm. I just compared our weather. I'm around 10 degrees here and you guys are close to freezing. Hopefully this year is better than last. Have a great week!
