I came to the conclusion that grassroots loco comedy is
hard. Just because someone tells you that you are funny doesn't necessarily mean that
funniness translates into a successful stand up act. Both of these acts
struggled to elicit any kind of audience reaction. As a few people pointed
out, all successful comedians likely started out this way. I couldn't help but
think that this is a very hard road to travel.
Other than the comedy acts, you’d have to call the Spring
Celebration a big success. The weather was perfect and the crowds turned out.
Dave Carney told me that the ECBA is working on a summer festival too, most
likely to occur in mid July.
