Adam Gropman has observed… and the results, as always, are humorous. Thus the name, “Observational Humor.” When we last heard from Adam, it was an opus– a lengthy and vicious reflection on his day job called, “Day Job.” This time around, in a column snappily titled “FOR THOSE ABOUT TO CONSIDER A SITUATION IN WHICH TO ROCK,” things are a little different:
I was fired for a pretty cool reason, though, one that has nothing to do with “performance.” I was fired because I let a short film crew shoot a scene in the building in which my ex-company inhabits office space. The boss was away on vacation at the time, but after he came back, building security told him what had happened and he deemed it “poor judgment” and canned me.
Read the whole thing, by all means. And Mr. Gropman is involved in other endeavors aside from collecting unemployment or performing in the New York Underground Comedy Festival. Like this:
The Passion II: Double-Crossed “edgy, smart, delightfully semi-offensive sketch in the vein if SNL at it’s best.” A Cast of eight graduates of the S.C.L.A. Training Center (including Gropman).
Fridays, Oct. 22 & 29, 8PM, at the Second City Theater next to The Improv on Melrose, Hollywood, CA. Only $5.
