Delilah Dishes…

Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanza! Seasons greetings whatever they may be! It’s been nice seeing everyone at the club parties and I want to make sure the comics know about ours on Three Kings Day January 6.

2009 is ending on a good note for a few of our favorite comics and we’re happy they’re getting heat. Mark Viera signed a deal with 20th Century Fox and positive things are happening for Kyle Grooms and Kareem Green after the NBC Diversity Showcase earlier this month out in L.A.

My trip to L.A. to see the showcase as the NYC host was fun. Kendra from NBC and all the NBC folks were terrific. Thanks to Donnell for the hospitality and for the yummy barbecue with the crew imported from NY. Made me feel right at home and his new chicken recipe rules! Donnell was terrific on Chelsea Lately…sorry I had to miss Bill Santiago’s one-man show.

Getting back to New York was great though…Not often you get to see Patrice O’Neal emcee Burt’s Certifiable Nuts show, what can I say…you know I love you Patrice but my advice is stick to the headliner spot…woo…mean my friend…mean.

The New York parties for the holiday season were fun, but there were surprisingly few big names out…no Dave Attell, no Louis Black, no Paul Mooney, no Louis C.K…not even Angel Salazar…none of those cats, but it was great to see Judah Friedlander, Todd Barry and others. Special shout-out to Talent who will be starting a regular show at Laugh Lounge in March.

Looking forward to the New Year and my warmest wishes go out to each of you who come down, perform, hang out and generally make Laugh Lounge the success it is!
