This week began for me at The Zipper Theater where I saw my old stand-up comedy compatriot, Britt Swenson. Britt and I not only did stand-up together in the past, but like me, she's played in many a Broadway pit. The difference is she's a violinist and I play the piano. As a matter of fact, for a while she was my violin teacher, but then she moved to LA. I'm not saying it was my devastating violin playing that made her flee across the country, but you do the math. After she studied and performed with The Groundlings (the L.A. improv group), she moved to Colorado. She brought her one-woman show, So Many Ladies, to the Zipper, and the audience ate it up. One of my favorite characters was a substitute teacher that began class with, "I have a wicked hangover, so don't push me." She also angrily tells the class, "Teacher means talker." I was literally laughing more than anyone in the theatre at that sketch. I'm sure it can't be related to the fact that I haven't emotionally moved on from high school where I hated most of my teachers.
