Believe it or not, up until last weekend, I had never been to a Comedy Club. How fitting it was that I was indoctrinated by an evening with Bob Marley, the Maine-born comedian who’s made his way up to the national television night-show circuit. Marley has actually performed many times in my town here in Maine, but i’ve never gone to see him here. I will in the future for sure.

Marley was a riot. Unlike what i’ve heard about him, he used alot of physical and demonstrative comedy – not just words – on this evening at the DC Improv. I was surprised to hear little of his home state of Maine, except for the stories about his growing-up-days with mom and dad and their thickdowneaster drawl.

It has been a long time since i laughed so hard. He didn’t give you a break either. It was like a 45-minute continuous laugh.

Zomg. Go see him, ya moron!

I recently traveled to Montréal, Quebec, Canada (eh) to see Milkbags for myself. Here is a short documentary of that trip.

Do i know these people?
