Anecdotes
| Best - Any gig where I get to emcee or perform in a foreign country - I have been paid to go to St. Moritz, Rome, Sydney, Barcelona, etc. That is always a fun adventure.
Worst - When I was younger I hadn't yet realized that some rooms where you do corporate shows are not conducive for live performance. I know make sure people can see me and hear me before I perform - no comedy moat (dancefloor) and no front loaded sound in big halls and no reverb on the mike, I ain't singing! |

| When on a school tour with Vancouver TheatreSports in 1993 we had of of those 4pm to 1am drinking sessions - you know, as you do. The next morning we were all so horrible hung over and had a school school show at 10am.
We were doing the quietest, most gentle improv you can imagine as we were totally weighed down with headaches and foggy eyes. Scott Owen and Randy Schooley were doing a scene for the kids and I was holding myself up at the side when I notice one of the speakers for our show was pointing a little away from the kids. So I reached up to turn it a bit. The second my hand touched it it let out the loudest feedback SCREECH, which in turn caused the 400 kids to SHRIEK, causing all three of us improvisers to literally buckle at the knees in pain. |
