Just For Laughs

I have often complained about entertainment and it would be that with only weeks left here in Tampa...that I would discover the high entertainment factor a place like the Tampa Improv would offer an adult of legal drinking age.

A couple weeks ago, two friends and I went to see DeRay Davis. (I don't have pictures of that evening, unfortunately.) We didn't know who he was, we just knew we wanted some laughs. Mission accomplished. I realized that I thoroughly enjoyed leaving all the stresses of moving, of motherhood and just reality at the door for a couple hours of belly laughing. I had not one lick of alcohol and sore abs the next day, as proof of how much fun I had.

So it came as no surprise that I was totally on board for an almost last-minute girls night out to see Jim Breuer. (My picture, taken with the iPhone, didn't turn out as well as my friend, Lisa's did...so if I ever get it from her, I'll post that one!) It was hysterical. It was nice to have the chance to meet him and take a picture...funny guy, great comedy, must see.

And now that I've found my little niche of entertainment (that doesn't include fart sounds from a 3-year-old, scratch-your-head-in-confusement questions from a 7-year-old and just everyday entertainment from a 32-year-old husband...), I'm hoping to take advantage of the various comedy clubs I might be close to when we move. I know of one in Pittsburgh that I'm hoping to get to before we leave there!

But, if you have never gone or don't think you'd enjoy it, trust me, you just have to give it a go. Be open for laughs. Try not to get offended. And just enjoy yourself. I know I did and I wish I had more time with my friends to see more of the upcoming shows...
