Well, THAT was scary.
A roast was held last night for George Takei at the legendary Friars Club, and I was invited to be a part of it. It was one of the more daunting endeavors of my life. It’s one thing to stand up in front of a crowd of fans at a convention and play for laughs, as I have done at such gatherings as the Stan Lee roast at the Chicago Comicon. This is a venue where I’m trying to make laugh a roomful of professional comics and roasters who have no frickin’ clue who I am.
Judging by the number of people who came up to me and congratulated me on my outing, I did okay. Below the cut line are pictures of me with Roastmaster Alec Mapa, with fellow roaster Gilbert Gottfried, and with George. I think video will actually be available through the Friars Club website.
