I have some fun shows coming up in the next couple weeks and 2012 but I have to say my favorite place to perform is my hometown of Wauconda. When my friends, Vicki Laureys and Monica Jablonski decided to bring stand up comedy to Lake County (since the closing of Zanies) I never dreamed we'd open such a wonderful room. When three women open a comedy club it is soooo different than a club run by a man. Of course, I'm biased but the ambience of the room, the cleanliness of the bathrooms, the big smiles that greet customers when they walk in is something to that deserves recognition. And we are happy - genuinely happy! It's all new and we're reinventing ourselves. Could three business women ask for anything more.
The room is comfy with so many different kinds of chairs that generates eclectic charm. The comedians are so warmly welcome, they go on stage and immediately feel the supportive vibe. I personally love the audiences who want to see you succeed. Do you know what you get when you give positive energy to a comedian - a super show. We're the little kids who used to spin in circles or do magic tricks or lip-sink songs while the adults egged us on. The positive nature of the Lake County crowds is instrumental in the great shows that have hit home since the opening on October 8th.
You can have Hollywood, the glitter, the glare, the noise and the traffic. I'll take Wauconda because comedy, for me, is to make people feel good! And it happens here.
