Marc Maron @ Laughs Comedy Spot, Kirkland

[pg13]

Marc is at Laughs in Kirkland, Friday Feb 25 & Saturday Feb 26.

I'm planning on going to the Friday night shows (that's tonight, as I write this)...anybody else going?

I had an excellent time last night--and caught most of Marc's first show set and the entire second show. (And I'll try not to spoiler anything for those thinking of seeing him tonight--Saturday)

As a comic, I think it is always enlightening to see a performer do consecutive shows...to see the choices that they make versus the material that they've prepared. With Marc, he admits some of the process to the audience...and yet remains very much in the moment and very natural, so you don't always know when a story is just a story or when a tangent is unplanned...

And it was great to see Marc rock a sold out show for the first show on Friday...and a solidly attended show (including former Giggles manager Terry Taylor) for the second show...as I've watched Marc deal with underwhelming turn out before (at Giggles, actually) and it's much more fun watching him work a crowd that obviously knows what to expect from him and have turned out to give him their complete attention...

Again, I truly enjoyed the opportunity.
