uh remember the boston comedy club yeah man what are you kidding me of course i
mean that was crazy
i don't think i don't i always wondered if it was because we were new to doing
stand-up yeah yeah that
and we didn't know what we were doing that that room was so like just like just
the death that
you could die in in that building or if it really was as difficult i mean it
was insane when i first
came down like 94 was like people selling drugs right outside the front of it
you walked in it
was an absolute shithole barry katz owned it put like three cents into the
thing had that old
up looking fireplace yeah of course behind you on stage and like the piece of
wood could come out
and i just remembered when you went in there it was like uh i don't know if it
was any other room i
would have been like you know what after i took a pound it'd be like this place
this place is
up but there was something about it because of the comics that were working
guys that were working
they were insane yeah you wanted to be able to have a good set in there you
were oh when you first broke
in there you were like nervous and then and then like maybe a year or so when
you find yourself
putting your elbow on the mantle that's when you know you're comfortable there
dude i got a one of
the most embarrassing things in my life on stage happened at that club it was
so it was one of those urban
nights okay i'll do one of the 12 embarrassing things in my life happened in
that club now i was i was only
about i don't know maybe a year into comedy right and i just started becoming a
little friendly with brewer
so now i go down there one night and i would just hang out try to get on that
sort of thing and brewer and
chapelle meet up and uh they're gonna go around the corner this is again years
and years ago and
they're gonna smoke a joint and they invite me to what was this like 92 3 4
like 94 5 yeah yeah so we
go around the bend so just to put a perspective men in tights for uh no nutty
professor he was making
and brewers on saturday night live was okay cool all right because we go around
the bend and i'm like
just being quiet so excited to be hanging here right and we're smoking the
joint and uh chapelle's telling
the famous story about his end from eddie murphy being mad at david spade for
that you remember that
famous story oh yeah yeah where spade said look a falling star it's a picture
eddie murphy catch a
falling star yeah spade just recently wrote a blog about it's like famous
everybody knows that story
it's still going on i think he finally saw eddie and eddie said hey what's up
so i think it's finally
like 20 years later it's finally over yeah and in that point it was wild
because i'm sitting there
getting chapelle's end of it because he's doing nutty professor with eddie murphy
when that happened
right and then brewers on with spade on saturday night live so they're telling
each other's version
of the phone call and stuff and i'm like wow so then we go back to the club and
again packed
urban night as we said it was a little cold so i'd gotten there early and i put
my coat down
those so this is sunday night the all black show yeah people don't know what
urban night yeah yeah
it's not urban outfit or night and this is important to know because i put my
coat down
and they're both high and jason who runs the club at the time goes who wants to
go first jim you dave
you and they go no no let me relax and they go put pd on put pd on you know i'm
freaking high i'm not
even good at comedy really so they put me on first dying right i'm bombing i'm
three minutes in brewer and
chapelle dying laughing uh i do about five minutes to the point where you know
black people going he's
corny get him off he's corny brutal so i i get off and now all i want to do is
go home right i can't
find my coat i have no idea what my coat is my keys to my apartment are in my
coat it's totally dark i'm
doing that where you're walking around and you swear it's under somebody's seat
and you're like can i
just can i just and i just saw you bump yeah yeah and now these women are going
what you want what you
want and then there's a black host and he goes what's going on back there what's
going on back
there and someone yells out white boy can't find his coat the white boy can't
find his coat so he goes
turn the lights on turn the lights on and they turn the lights on and they're
all looking around
going is this your coat is this yeah and i'm walking around trying to find and
finally some lady in the
back i remember i put it by that little bar in the back there she goes is this
your coat and i go yeah
and i go over and i get my coat and they give me a big applause they go you
keep warm get out of here
white boy bye bye oh and i just took my coat and they put the lights out and i
went home oh you know
something that what i hate nobody pays news like that anymore they do five
minutes of stand-up and then
they're on a goddamn special sorry bro i know it seems it seems like that yeah
i was just saying
that what i always loved and hated about black crowds was they're gonna have
fun either way they're
either having fun with you yeah because you're killing or you're gonna they're
gonna laugh at
you either way you kill oh yeah they'll be either you tell the joke and people
laugh or you tell the
joke there's a pause somebody else says something and then there's like the big
laugh dude i remember one
time eating it in front of all black crowd and uh there's this comedy club
called mix nuts and now
it's called the comedy union out here in california so uh out here in la and i'm
doing i go up there
doing and just from the from the get-go i am just bombing yeah yeah 30 seconds
in i got dry mouth
and i am just and then i'm just plowing through my act and nobody is saying
anything there's not a
sound in the room it's just the sound of my dry lips as i'm doing these jokes
and finally
two and a half excruciating minutes of dead silence this big girl in the back
just just
calm as just looks at her friend and just goes i ain't laughed yet and the
whole place just goes
everybody and then they just started laughing at me and i didn't know how to
address it and i stayed in
my act and just stayed in the bubble like i was doing my show at some other
comedy club where
people were listening dude and it was fucking oh i'm getting embarrassed now
that the fucking
humiliation of that to stay in your act is the worst part about it too it's
like you're just trying to
hide behind this bubble of words that don't exist man you know no you have to
you you you have to
address it like it's weird like a white crowd will almost get uncomfortable
with you but either way you
have to break the tension but um getting back to the the boston comedy club
dude i had such horrific
sets there when i first started you know when you first came to town like steinberg
and frost would
fucking test you and they put you on after red johnny and the round guy oh god
yeah who murdered they
were this comedy team and i remember they would end their set doing uh their
version of that song it
take it takes two it takes two to make a thing go right it was insane insane
and they would be flicking
the fucking lights on and off on and off and dude you literally felt like dude
i have i don't have a
joke in my act and they would just throw you that's the show's over after that
the show is over everybody
go home after the only guy i ever saw a new guy i ever saw go down and fucking
not only kill but
fucking level after it was dane cook dane cook i believe had the energy oh yeah
dude he went up there
and that's the funny thing about all the fucking shit that was said about that
guy like they don't
understand like the level that that guy murdered i'll never understand that
right dude he went up
there and just fucking like he he treated them like he was like they were like
his opener he just took
it to an entirely different level and um i remember steinberg years later was
talking about him and
jason ran the room back then and he said to me he just said yeah man he goes i
couldn't bury the kid
i couldn't bury him and i remember thinking like yeah i knew you guys used to
do that you used to when
guys came down it was the exact opposite of any other club where they'd be like
oh he's a new guy
put him up early put him up after the fucking you know okay act when you went
to the boston comedy
club they immediately threw you right into the fire and they right into the
deep end and i think that
that's why i wanted i kept going back there dude i used to walk by that club
and during the day if
i saw it i got sick to my stomach just going like oh god that fucking like it
dude it literally had my
heart sometimes i didn't even recognize it during the day i'd be halfway past
and go oh
shit there it is just because it's such a night thing a dark night thing and
but the thing about
it too is uh you know the idea that you had to go through there and do that i
like sometimes i'll
be on the road now and like these features go i'm deciding if i should move to
la or new york and
da da da and they're talking about comedy and like the the one question like
you got to ask yourself is
do you love it you gotta love it so much yeah that like you we were blind to
that man it was no big
deal you walk home after getting beaded and battered there and yeah and you
know what's funny you know
what kills me is quitting never even like i never even thought about quitting i
would just immediately
be thinking about after i was getting past i would try to think of like uh like
how i could do better
the next time i just remember the worst part was just when you went to bed and
just you're just
laying in your bed i had to i had to walk through bedroom railroad apartment
back then remember that
up on 97th street yeah yeah and i would just be laying there in the bed just
like
with the humiliation of the set just going through my head and everything and
like
like it would take you all the way into like maybe two in the afternoon or the
next day to finally get
your feet for me anyways get my feet back underneath me and then i'd have a
spot at the strip and it'd go
oh yeah of course yeah i thank god i'm still funny i i'm still funny don't
