Getting Ready To Launch My One Man Show - T minus 90 days

Through The Arch Way...

Well... I'm close to launch. All I have to do is complete a couple of sections on my newly renovated web site, The Bookings Sections, The Stand Up Comedy Section, complete the scripts, get into rehearsal, grab some Open Mic stage time, shoot some promo's and give them to my agent "Forgetful Louie", sell "Free" tickets, and then go make people laugh.

Easy.

With just one exception... I'm scared shit-less. "Scared of what? a friend asked". That people may laugh at me, and not my jokes.

"Archer, get over yourself. You're 69. Call it.. The Seniors Comedy Tour. By the way, are you protecting some kind of an amazing lead in life? How're the kids, the Branston boys? How's your relationship with women since Prostate Cancer February 2008? Since your heart attack August 2008. And those ungrateful douche bags within the Community College systems in both Ontario and British Columbia! Tell them how you made your students laugh, others laugh, imparting your skills and entrepreneurial wisdom, all the while being paid well below what you're worth and that you were not wasting anymore time enabling them to oppress you AND consciously put your life in harm's way each-and-every-day working for these swindling, gas-lighting idiots, thieves, and Teachers Union parasites OPSEU. Yes? Tell them!

And funny? I have to double up on my diaper layering when we get together. When I get home, my wife always says; "you smell like a seniors home".

Tell them about the time when you were 16, your first real summer job at Moffat's, in Weston, Ontario. Tell them. It's hilarious. Well, agreed now it's hilarious, maybe not so funny then, but don't keep that one a secret. There you were at the famed Canadian Appliance Manufacturer and you literally totalled their brand new Electric Fork Lift Truck.

Tell them... your Mom was away on holidays and their office had to call her at the family cottage on Balsam Lake to say you were OK. Tell them why they had to call your Mom Haaaaaha. Because she got you the job and she was the Executive Assistant to the President of Moffat's. Hahahahah.

Tell them you were more scared of your Mothers reaction than from all of Moffats employee's, including their President at the time. Then tell the audience where you worked the following summer. You were banished... BANISHED to the furthest, most north western corner of the Province of Ontario. The furthest place from your Mom, your sister, your brother, and the family cat. What was the name of that place? Oh yes, I remember! Sioux Lookout. Or, lookout Sioux, Arch "The Junior Ranger" was on his way... yeah. 17 years old, $5.00 a day pay, and even Sioux Lookout called your Mom to say "we're shipping him home". Tell them that story. They'll laugh their assess off! I still do.

And then tell them about the time when you were 18 and in your graduating year at Weston Collegiate Institute, Grade 13. They didn't call it "high" school for nothing. There you were prepping for the start of the Toronto Track & Field 1/4 finals. YOU set the record for the 100 metre at 11.7 seconds. Then... come on! It's time. Tell them that secret! You know. 5 minutes before the race, the boys, the AMC Javelin, Highway Star... and... and... go on. Tell them!

Thanks... I will...
