Aug. 26th, 2008 08:14 pmI bought tickets for Dave Atell’s October appearance at the Paramount. After going to see Ralphie May (hella funny) a couple months ago I decided I wanted to go see more comedians. Star hasn’t seen any of Dave Atell’s stuff, but I’ve got a couple months to educate her. Hopefully she won’t be put off by him.
While I was looking at the Paramount’s website, I noticed that Jim Gaffigan was also coming to town. Sweet! I KNOW Star likes him (we nearly peed our pants watching his special), so I called her up and asked her if she’d like to see him. Well, duh. I figured if she didn’t like Dave Atell, Jim Gaffigan would make things better. She wants to take a box of HotPockets for him to autograph. That would be funny, but . . . I dunno if he still does that bit; the joke might be out-of-date by now.
So anyways, it wasn’t until after I’d hung up the phone that I found out that all four of Jim Gaffigan’s performances were sold out. Crap. I was kinda surprised. I hadn’t expected him to be such a popular comedian; as far as I know he’s only done one cable special. One of his Austin appearances will be recorded for his next special, which accounts for one show being sold out, but I thought there would still be tickets left for the other three. I wasn’t willing to forfeit this plan, so after a bit of looking around I found a website that had tickets for the show, at a significant mark-up. I wasn’t too pleased about this but I bought them anyways. I know it probably wasn’t the most responsible move considering my upcoming expenses, but I’m an adult so I can have my cake and eat it too. That’s what credit cards are for.
If anyone else is thinking of going to the Dave Atell show, DO IT. Trust me, these shows are super funny and it’d be fun to have more people to go with.
