Survival Skill at the Comedy Bar

I don't go to comedy bars since i came back last 2010 for my regular vacation. I cannot stand the sound and the noise of the area. (talking about being senior citizen?) no but i am used to the silence that my adopted country is giving every day. 

Anyway, since i just arrive a few days ago for my regular vacation they invited me to go out. hmmmm . Of course its been years and I need to relax. They brought me to this comedy bar in QC and I cannot say no.  

I just try to enjoy and had a great time.

We know that comedy bars are not for people who take their life seriously. You go there to enjoy and laugh. Thats what their purpose.  But if you just want to enjoy a night of loud music, best laugh without being laugh at, you will need these survival skills

1. Never sit in front of the Stage.  Sitting in front of the stage would be a death sentence . It`s a warning, not unless you are in the mood for good laughter, don't hesitate. 
2. Dress well. or i say dress as you are. Don't wear clothes that will not fit you or else you will be a piece of joke for the audience.
3. Be ready and open minded.  It`s not for the faint of heart and for those who take things seriously.  Play your role well when you were caught up on stage.

So are you ready for another try? Not me, I had my fill of the comedy bars.  i need to have a good music and a relaxing night before I go home.
