Comedy Drive-Bys

Hey everybody!

I was doing stand-up for an 85th. Church Anniversary at a local hotel recently. There were two sisters seated at my table. Friendly, great company. Then one of the sisters leans over to me confidentially and says, "You're not going to call us out up there are you?" I thought, Wow. Is that what people think about comedians? That we just indiscriminately do what I call 'comedy drive-bys?' Shout-out to Table 20 over there and my two sisters in crime, you know you should be arrested for that crazy hair don't you? NO WAY!

Improvisational comedy is one thing. Embarrassing and humiliating people is another, and it is not at all funny to me.
