It is a common misconception that the road is glamorous. I'm here to share with you some examples of the "glamorous" places I've been. Granted, I have been to some glamorous places like Vegas, but that is not the norm. There are out of the way places that need some laughs too. Hell, some of those places need more than laughs, they need to be bulldozed, but for the most part, the out-of-the-way-places can be some of the most fun. I've met the most interesting people on those trips and had the greatest time making fun of them. Let's start with Winnemucca, Nevada. (Picture to your right). I do comedy at a place called "Winners Casino". If you take a look at the picture you'll see that there are in fact no winners that would be seen near this place. To be honest, the people here are nice and if you put on a good show they will buy a ton of your CD's.

Brothel Mall Winnemucca is a gold mining town and now that Nevada is mining the most gold in the world except for Africa, business is booming. Not that the brothels in town are any indication. In fact, I went to see them when I was there last. It was a charity thing--I hadn't had sex in three weeks and they were contributing to Comic Relief! Kidding of course. Winnemucca has what I like to refer to as a "brothel mall." An enclave of sorts with four or so buildings the building inspector should've condemned years ago, but he's their best customer. They say it's the world's oldest profession... In these places you can still find some of the pioneers of the trade.

Havre, Montana Fun is always found in the strangest places... As you can see I am hanging out with my buddy "Gregg". Here he is drunk in a bar in Havre, Montana. We just finished a show in this bar called "Shamrock's," you know, because we're so damn lucky to be there...It was one of the worst shows that I can remember. It started out with us checking in when we got into town and the owner's mother--who is the bartender during the day--didn't know there was going to be a comedy show that night. Wow! So Gregg, (a.k.a. Geoff Brousseau) an hysterical comedian, and I did our shows in front of a bunch of drunk indians, two rednecks and a biker. You should've been there, you would have witnessed an anomoly--the Joke Doctor eating it with a shovel for forty-five minutes. (The opening 15 were fine, then the drunk indians came in).

Great Falls, MT The night before was sweet. Not because we were in the fabulous town of Great Falls, MT. Here's a picture of the crazy place across the street from the fabulous gig we played. The crowd was fine at this sports bar/night club. But that wasn't the fun part. The real surprise was when I was standing at this bar trying to eat a sandwich for dinner and ignore this drunk woman who wouldn't shut up, my wife showed up. Just "showed up!" See, she's an airline pilot and has the luxury of jumping on any flight she can to fly wherever I am. Cool or what? Lauren & JerrySo a boring lonely evening turned into a great time hanging out with the coolest woman I know. What's really cool is that we're married now! Yeah, I never thought marriage could be so right. I mean...wow! I've gone through a lot when it comes to relationships. I've got four kids--so I'm half mormon. Four kids from two different women. Basically I'm a walking Jerry Springer episode, only I have all my teeth and a college education!
