A friend of mine did very well at the Fringe this year. She had a very successful show and I enjoyed watching it and enjoyed seeing her receive much acclaim and award for it. It was, therefore, a pleasure to take my girlfriend out to see the show this evening. In truth, it's a pleasure to be able to call someone a girlfriend and take her anywhere, even more so when I get to introduce her to someone who makes me laugh and with whom I've shared many a gig.

It's amusing to see that I'm not the only comedian who, post performance, has my stage persona still turned on. My friend had another gig, so she probably had to stay in performance mode. We had a quick chat, but owing to stage presence, the chat managed 30% more content.

After the show we went over to China Town and had some Chinese food. What else!? Then there was a trip to Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum. I think that the meal and museum trip was a nice way to get 30% more from the evening, much like stagecraft can pack 30% more into a chat.

I like the people I get to hang out with.
