Last night we played our standard main-stage show. It was solid. The audience was excellent. Near the end we called up a birthday for our typical birthday routine (making up adventures that the birthday celebrant had with us) and last night we had a lovely lady named Liz. Her daughters had kidnapped her for the weekend from
After that warning, I was afraid that this woman would be no fun, but I was proven wrong. She came up dancing to the music and then progressed the dance with me when she got on stage. Then while we were telling different stories, she would interject with hilarious one-liners. She was such a joy.
After the show she told us that we had re-energized her and given her the ability to give hope to those people she encountered at her workplace.
It is moments like that where I realize exactly why I give up nearly ever Friday and Saturday night to perform. It isn't for the random recognition I get in the grocery store, or the few dollars I make every show. It is because I have the ability to genuinely lift someone's spirits and make their life better.
And that makes all of it completely worth it.
