Florida, right? Started in Fort Lauderdale. Whoa. The comic strip in New York opened a sister club, if you will. I don't know why I'm calling it a sister club. It could be a brother club. It could be another club. So they opened what I called a sister club in Fort Lauderdale, and that's where I started. I grew up in Miami, Florida, drove up to, uh, the comic strip to audition.

And, uh, you got there during the day and you would draw numbers. I knew nothing about anything, you know, all these people out front. I drew like number seven or something. And, uh, Right after, and the show was going to be that night. So like four or five people came up to me and said, I'll trade, I'll trade. Oh. And I'm like, I don't know what number seven means, but I ain't trading.

The comic strip in Fort Lauderdale, this was like before comedy started. had really exploded around the country, so nobody knew how to do a show. They had three co-headliners, all of whom did 45 minutes. Shut up.

So they had a local opener do 10. No, they had a local emcee do like 10, a local opener do another 10, then three 45-minute sets. Wow. Jesus, poor audience. I'm telling you. And then on a Monday, it was open mic night, so they would put open micers in between all of that. Jeez. So can you imagine being the third comic, the third 45-minute set?
