It was Wednesday, April 1, when The Male Half headed over to do his five-minute set at Phoenix’s most raucous open mike at the Hidden House. It was the second time that The Male Half found himself in the Valley of the Sun with a need to get a that set out of his mouth and hear some sort of response. “The crowd was great, the response was tremendous and it was just what I needed to make the weekend at the Comedy & Magic Club go well!” says the Male Half. The intimate room was wall-to-wall and a succession of local, touring and regional acts went up and gave them a good time.

Fortunately, the guys and gals at Hidden House are some of the most obliging souls in all of comedy. And they’ve told us to tell you (comics) that, if you’re ever in the area, passing through PHX on a Wednesday night, send them a message and ask for stage time!

(We know what you’re saying: That was almost a month ago! Why are you telling us all this now? Well, when we took the pic, the SD card wasn’t in… so the pic got stored on the onboard memory. And it took us this long to find it and extract the pic from the camera! And last time we visited the Hidden House, our batteries were fried. So, we were determined not to let camera problems keep us from trumpeting the hospitatlity shown us at H.H.!)
