We had a great time at our recent Veteran Comic’s Retreat in Nashville. It was refreshing to catch up with a lot of old friends and also meet comics that I have heard a lot about but never had the luxury of meeting face to face. Be sure to visit my flickr page and see some of the shots we took!
I’ve included a few of the moments that stick out in my mind from those brief few days we had together:
- Cleto Rodriguez could read Lamentations and I would laugh for an hour. He is that funny.
- Watching Mike Williams and Justin Fennell come out of their hotel room on the first night wearing nothing but tank tops and matching boxer shorts.
- Comic who can slay the crowd without breaking a sweat: Darren Streblow
- This guy is funny but does he really talk like that? -Isaac Witty
- Our best workshop-Ken Davis
- God is Good moments: Hearing how God has healed, and is healing, Kenn Kington’s daughter and Tim Hawkin’s wife.
- Scratch your head moment: Brad Stine blowing in at the end of the final session and sharing with us “words of wisdom”.
- Best line from the comedy showcase: John Branyan closing out his set and sensing the crowd was not responding…”OK…never use new material at the end of your set!”
- How lucky are we? Ken Davis, Chonda Pierce and Jeff Allen hosting the two night comedy showcase.
- Mr. Host/great talent/intelligent comic/all around good man-David Pendelton
- My favorite spouse of a comic-David Pierce…he takes care of Chonda.
- Best musical/political bit-Paul Aldrich. See for yourself his songs about the soon to be President on youtube.
Hey friends….can’t wait ’till next year. Thanks for a wonderful two days.
David
