So you want to be an Emcee?

Having recently established myself as the weekly Emcee at the Wednesday Night Comedy Showcase at Sammy's Rockin' Island Bar & Grill in Roseville, I've experienced a few firsts. We've had a heckler, a mayor and a soccer mom who isn't all she appears to be.

I've also now experienced the thrill of a cancelled comedian with about 24 hours notice.

I expected this would happen at some point but one can never be fully prepared. The comedian who cancelled is someone I respect professionally and personally so I am quite sure the reason is more than valid.

I am also sure that the comedian who stepped up on short notice is more than capable of delivering a super set and in fact could be headlining this week if needed. Thanks to Nick Aragon for rescuing the new guy from a predicament and Jason Resler - yes, that Jason Resler - for recommending Nick.

Nick is going to be terrific, as will our other opener, Meg Sevier and our headliner, the much talked about Ray Molina. See you at Sammy's tonight at 8:30 pm for the show and remember, if you buy dinner, Sammy pays for your show.
