Just Trying to Figure It Out
The Nights of Our Lives

So I wanted to write a little about the show “The Nights of Our Lives” at UCB.  It’s an amazing storytelling show that produces belly laughs, shocking gasps, heartbreaking sympathy, and mad respect.  I respect the storytellers so much for their bravery, humility, and honesty.  Most of all I respect them for their ability to laugh at themselves.  In great detail.  I admire them so much for that.  They go further than imaginable and have experienced some unfathomable shit.  And I want to thank them for letting me in on those experiences.  My life feels richer somehow from being taken along their journeys.  It’s also been a great insight into the male brain and I have heard some stories and points of view that have truly enlightened me.  Tonight the heavy hitters proved no less amazing as always.  Chris Gethard, Jon Gabrus, John Flynn, and Anthony Atamanuik—Nice work.  (And a shout out to the always brilliant host Dave Martin).  Thanks guys.  And look below for a clip medley from an 2006 performance.
