A priest, a baker, and a mime walk into a bar...no wait...

My favorite film genre is comedy. I love to laugh. (And I'll be honest, I started loving it even more after learning laughter burns calories. lol) So one would imagine that going to a comedy club would be an ingenious idea. I've told you guys about seeing comedians Anjelah Johnson and Donald Glover at Comix, and since that was such a great experience, I thought I'd try seeing Johnson's hilarious opening act Erik Rivera at Gonzalez y Gonzalez.

Let's see, how do I say this? Rivera was funny as usual. His opening acts, on the other hand, were...not. They were actually excruciatingly awkward and since there were about 20 people at the venue, the laughs were few and far between. I'm not sure if it was the restaurant's poor promotion—when I called they couldn't even confirm that he was performing—or if Wednesday's just not a night everyone wants to go out, but I felt humiliated for them.

It's safe to say that the next time I go to a comedy show it'll be at a fairly large and established venue, and it'll be on a weekend.

But definitely check out Erik Rivera the next time he's in your city.
