This will be my final month in MIlwaukee. I will be moving to Oregon. There are countless people and places that I will will miss, some dearly and others out of nostalgia. Leons, Mazos, Fritzs Pub, McBobs, Honey Dip, Speed Queen, Oakland Gyros, Cielito LIndo, Anodyne, Canfora Bakery, and numerous other fattening holes of hell. Of course, my family will be missed. Amber Rose Zyszkiewicz and her amazing family will leave a hole in my life. Cheryl Cetnarowski is amazing friend and I regret every chance we missed to hangout. In comedy the list is long. Nate Ford, Darryl Hill, Mario, Nola, Lampton, Lowe, Gull, Palowski, Choc, Liza, Koconis, Allen Edge, Andy Bolton, Jason Hillman, Russ Martin, William Krolowitz, Jim Roth, Woody Bruce, Chastity Washington, Christy Watson, Cliff Bayer, Broncatti, Breese, Ballew, Beitz, Thorson, Tolaney, Jonah Jerkins, Kyle Warras, James Thorn, Arthur Hinty, Andy Merck Tony Carr and Dave Odd in Chicago, Mel and Blossom, Muncie, Byron Beck, Tony Miller, Mikey D, Damon Millard and I know there are more people. I am personally amazed I was able to remember that many. I have been performing comedy in MIlwaukee for almost eleven years. I have worked with so many ambitious and hilarious people. The shows have been countless. The Mirabar and Miramar Theater were a blessing. Bill Stace meant a lot to local comedy. Nearly ten years ago he let me run an open mic and even gave me the main stage, on weekends, for free. We had so many excellent comedy shows, comedy/music, comedy and fetish shows... it was essential in the scene at the time. It was one of the only liberal places to do comedy. That spawned so many more shows for all of us. The Ynot 3, The Ardor, Club Finesse Savoys, the late but, okay River West Commons, The Monkey Bar, The Broadway Theater, Comedy Sportz, The Hyde House, The Art Bar, Karma, Carte Blanche, The Cigar Bar, The Cactus Club, Rounding Third, Vnuks, The Safe House, The Corner Pocket, (in Dundee, WI) The Roadhouse, (in Lake Geneva) whatever the hell that movie theater was called (Nola would remember)... and so many more that I cant think of the names. Comics can always fill in the blank spots with their own memories. Again, thank you to all the comics that worked for me, gave me work, and all the comedians I worked alongside of. Obviously, Im not deceased. I will be back now and then for my friends and family. Ill always be open to doing shows in MIlwaukee. I will have shows out west. We will have to work together.
