Nanny O'Briens
The Washington City Paper published an article about the Nanny O'Briens' comedy show being cancelled. They interviewed me for it, and they took everything I said way out of context in the article. So, if any of you have read it, please know that my quotes do not represent my opinions of the place or the show.
The worst example was when they asked how much the show paid. I said, "You don't do shows like that to get paid. You do them to get better. But we'd usually get a free grilled-cheese and a beer. And if you hosted, you got paid, but not a lot." Of course the writer made it sound like I was complaining that we didn't get paid.
The only negative thing I said about the place was "There's so much reverb there that it sounds like you're performing at Madison Square Garden, when in reality, you're performing for 10 people at a shitty bar." But I don't even think that's negative. It's accurate. The reverb was ridiculous, but everyone was used to it. And it is a shitty bar/dive bar/hole-in-the-wall... whatever you want to call it.
The air has been cleared.
