In the Metropolis of the Western Reserve

Left to right: Marv Conner, Chris Clem, The Female Half, Mark Mazzocco, John David Sidley, Rodney Bengston. At the Cleveland Improv, Wednesday night.

We hadn’t been in the building for 60 seconds on opening night when we encountered Cleveland comic Charlie Weiner. Each Half has worked with Weiner on the road within the past two years or so (in Reno, then in Princeton). It’s always great to see a familiar face when on the road!

Wednesday night, a healthy contingent of The Cleve’s comedy community showed up (see pic above). All were avid readers of the magazine. Always great to meet new faces when on the road!

We’re off today (the 4th!), so we’re going to check out the RnRHOF. Two shows Sunday, then one of Saturday. Then, it’s off to Vegas, baby!
