I love a comedy club, but they’re only as good as the comedians up on stage–which for me meant not so great for the first trip I took to Cobb’s comedy club on Columbus St, SF a few months back (I saw Jeff Garlin of Curb Your Enthusiasm who presumed that he was too famous to need to prepare any actual jokes, and instead tried to dine out on stories about Larry David and crude but unfunny answers to questions posed by the audience).
Of course that didn’t put me off when the opportunity arose to see Arabs Gone Wild last night at Cobb’s. Sammy KO, a local (but half Lebanese) comic supporting the the tour, was a highlight (“My European friend is always trying to make me feel ignorant, because I’m American. Don’t know which country he’s from, but…”).
