Oh Dear ...
Last night at Trietsch Memorial Methodist Church, when comedian Tim Hawkins took the stage (in front of a crammed-full sancturay), I started laughing. And I'm still laughing. Before my friend, Linda, mentioned going, I'd never heard of him.
He had the audience wheezing, sputtering and shrieking as soon as the mic clicked on. His schtick on Legos, Marriage-as-a-Roller-Coaster, kids running around pools and a million other regular life things were BEYOND hysterical. I'm tellin' ya ~ I could hardly breathe, and I'm a yoga instructor for crying out loud!
After the show, he was selling his DVDs and CDs, etc., and if the lines hadn't been so long we'd have bought at least one right then and there. Instead, I think I'll order online and be pleasantly surprised [again] by this guy's clean, creative comic act when it arrives on our doorstep. We gotta get this guy to CBC! (It was $15 per ticket at Trietsch.)
If you're in a mini church and want something fun and different for your group to do as the summer winds down ~ one of Tim's DVDs may be it. I firmly believe laughter is the rocket booster that jettsons us from life's snapping jaws. http://www.timhawkins.net/video.php
If you hate it, I'll buy it from you... then we're going to have a long talk.
