A night of comedy

I enjoy a good laugh,

  and last evening helped.

Three jesters,

 each with their own style,

  laughing at what they have seen.

At times,

  there is a chance to be offended,

    but you did want comedy.

Final performer,

 known by more than a few,

   impressed me.

Yes,

  he had been amusing,

    but after his time had run out,

       he started asking questions.

I realize this is part of the act,

  but you could see the people running the place growing impatient.

This is in a small backwoods casino.

Back on the reservation.

He started in these kinds of places.

He was having fun.

Talking with the crowd,

  he got a chance to laugh.

Special when you get to join the feeling.

I like people watching. Sometimes it's better than the show itself.

[Jon Roggie]

Now, I am trying to restrain myself. Please, don't give me that kind of a setup.

[Papaya]

I didn't mean THAT kind of show!

[Jon Roggie]

I could not resist!

Back in your shell turtle...

Sometimes it is interesting to sit on the sidelines and watch, and have a little laugh. Now, speaking of which, I am pretty sure you meant impatient, not inpatient.:)

Flipping editors....
Happy now!

[Lyn Anderson]

MWAH! yes dear tortoise, you made my day.

[Jon Roggie]

Now, I a wondering if it should have been "Happy now?".

when we relate, all is good...when we don't and are questioned, we get uncomfortable...

sometimes i think we just want to observe life, not join in.

[Jon Roggie]

I should have said he asked if we had any questions. I realize this is something completely different. Still, you make a good point.
