When Kevin is President...

On the Thursday night before Easter, Hubby and I went to see our friend Kevin in an amateur comedy competition. Actually, Hubby and I and 1/3 of our church went, which was a little awkward because you are never promised clean humor at a comedy club. There were eleven people competing in this round, from the very funny to the very... well... unfunny. As someone with an unusually high empathy level, I got really uncomfortable for a few of the people. Like I-want-to-run-out-of-the-room-in-embarrassment-for-you-but-instead-I'll-just-go-to-the-bathroom-and-hide-during-the-judges-comments uncomfortable. You know what else made me uncomfortable? The number of grown men who thought the only way to be funny was to refer to a certain part of their anatomy. I hung out with frat guys in college- it takes a lot to make me cringe, but there were definitely some cringe-worthy moments that night. And then the host kept pointing out how many baptists were in the room, which just made it more awkward, as if that were an excuse for why no one found the 110th penis joke to be hilarious. Nope, I think it's just the jokes.

Aside from middle-school humor, it was a fun night. The three people who won totally deserved it, especially since one of them was Kevin! He gets to go back on Mother's Day weekend and compete in the semifinals. He is also going to be having an event this coming weekend to raise money for the Relay for Life. It's called Kevin K. Lewis: When I'm President. So, if you're local and you want to hear some award winning comedy, check out the link. It will be a lot of fun and benefit a great cause.


Disclaimer: By promoting this event, I am in no way offering my endorsement for Kevin K Lewis as president. I will have to wait until I hear his platform at the event on April 18. Plus also, I am not ready for any talk of new presidents as I am still celebrating our current Commander in Cheif. Sorry, Kevin. Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday Buddy.
