nice work, liezl. i knew you would capture all the action!

as i mentioned at the top of the show, i told L.A. WEEKLY that the INTERRUPTION features comic friends of mine like sarah silverman, brian posehn and patton oswalt, key word being: like. but the blurb that appeared about this week's show listed those three titans as if they would actually be there. so the audience consisted mostly of TBI first-timers (aka starfuckers) who, while mostly a great crowd, included the girl who first got up and left after i had been on stage for about 30 seconds, and then left again during graham's "set," to be followed out moments later by her boyfriend and/or gay pal.

it was a great night of weirdness, and i hope a more TBI format-friendly crowd shows up for the next show in our new time slot, the second monday of each month at 11:00pm. scheduled to appear next week: aziz ansari! and more!

(yes, more!)
