MMmmmmm....9th grade in high school, dealing with a sudden growth spurt of 5 inches in height and 35 pounds.  Most people didn't recognize me when I reported for 2 a days, as I'd grown from 5'9" and 145 lbs to 6'1" and 180lbs in the three months from May to August........ :O

arrived in Los Angeles for the first time...........went to my first comedy club......the Laff Stop in Encino.

while my pals watched the shows.....I sat there and counted heads.......250 people per show.....three packed shows......$8 cover......two drink minimum.  did the math......saw the trend coming......though about what a great idea it would be to laugh all night.....and make a killing at the same time.  went back to florida with dreams of opening my first comedy club.
