Ever been to the Comedy Cellar, Earl? They seem to get big names dropping by unannounced. We got Godfrey that way once there, and he was hilarious. Good thing about that place was that it was a lot more raw then you'll get at some bigger places. I think we went Monday which was a pseudo-open-mic night or something (my cousin took me there), and so you get some big names that show up and try some of their new material out. We had several other comedians come by, I remember Lisa Lampanelli and I know the face of the other but can't remember his name. One of the comedians pissed off the crowd so much by picking on some Indian-looking guy who didn't know better than to sit right in the front row (warning: do not sit in the front row there if you don't want to be made part of the act, fortunately my cousin knew this so we sat in the back corner and were ignored), and half the crowd left because they got in a row with the comedian on stage in the middle of his act. The comedian was like, "This is how we do comedy in New York, get used to it." Awesome club, easily my favorite memory from my trip.
