Yesterday I had a great time sharing a Doctor of Laughology Program.
As I started my strait jacket routine, I took off my sports coat. One of the wonderful ladies in the front row(age about 87...the lady not the row) said, "Take it all off". The activity director,(sitting next to her) repeated the statement loud enough for the audience to hear. What would your comment if any be. I will share mine in a couple of days...

Just because there's snow on the roof doesn't mean there ain't fire in the chimney!

Daff,
There was plenty of fire in the room. Assited living, and nursing homes are great gigs. (at least for this nearly normal entertainer...who is closer to their age than my elementary school gigs) Be safe,well and creative. Dr. Laff

I never had good success with them. I guess you just gotta be cut out for them.

My mother and father in-law, give me great life experience material. At 87 and 89 they live with Annie and I.
Humor begins at home. (or is it at work, the car..or the feet?) Mama Ruth, just went on liquid oxygen this week. The canister reminds me of R2 D2 taller cousin. (trash canny looking robot from Star Wars) So I am thinking of adding eyes and sound effects to the one in the living room. I love live theatre (background doing regular plays) when the audience brings and shares their own lines. Harris aka Dr. Laff Harris

I know. I've done a lot of local theater too, and there is a magic to it that I can not explain. It gets in your blood.

I like to build gags that have a couple of bits to them... instead of just one line. for example, you could of said:
"i will if you will! don't worry... I'll go first... I'm kidding obviously... you go first!" |

Similar to the nursing home story but also different.
I had a midnight show in Laguna Beach. I wore a tux and carried a small bag. When I walked in the front door all the ladies, sitting in the living room, yelled out for me to "start the show" using very colourful lingo. I said in my nicest tone. I didn't expect to do that tonight but I did bring some great sleight of hand.. immediately they started throwing pretzels and paper at me and booing. Yes they were tipsy. So I walked into the kitchen where all the men were hanging out and announced that the show would start in 15 minutes. When I went back into the living room all the ladies got up and went outside - then all the men came in and sat down... one of them said "Wasn't that nice for our wives to give us the couch". Meanwhile... I'm thinking 'If you only knew what was on their minds". The show was great and since it was slightly cold outside I gave them an extra half hour... that way the people inside would stay nice and warm and those people with attitudes could "chill".

Be careful to not ask any questions that can be answered - "Depends"

One of the nice things about your mental prediction routines is that you never really have to be right. No one knows or remembers!
