There was an unexpected treat when we were in L.A. - we were driving by this marquee when I saw Eddie's name with a number. I stopped a few blocks away and called.

Turned out that while he was in town, he'd practice his stand-up at this venue. I spoke with a very friendly lady at their information line. She told me that his four night run was sold out but I might try the day of the show. Eddie's management release tickets that he doesn't use and sometimes it can be up to twenty seats.

So I called on the day of the performance + managed to sweet talk my way to our seats. We were down in the front + he was painfully funny. I wonder if he will do any of the jokes when he comes to Seattle in July.
