Sometimes I feel like I’m following the same comedians around the city and watching them perform the same stuff over and over again to the point where I start to think, well geez, I hope Jordan Carlos doesn’t think I’m stalking him. So you can imagine my excitement when I went to see Sweet, hosted by Seth Herzog, at The Slipper Room on Thursday and realized I had never seen any of the guests perform before!. Yay! Also, it had been a while since I had visited The Slipper Room and I do so love it. It’s super cute and kitschy and right across the street from Rosario’s which has really yummy pizza. Anyway, Seth’s guests for the evening included guest DJ and comedic sidekick Nick Stevens, A.D. Miles, Arj Barker, Tony Camin (of Bro’in Out fame), and these people - I think they were called The Dreggs (sp?). Video here:

Anyway, they pretty much stole the show cause you can’t beat a singing dog. Afterwards, the guy in the group did this monologue in the style of a one person show delivered by Michael Thomas Foster about being gay. It was hilarious. Other than that, I think my favorite part of the show was when Seth brought his mother onstage (which he does every week in what I think is a genius idea) or Seth and Nick Stevens who I really really liked. A.D. Miles stuff about his divorce and an unused sex swing full of dirty socks was priceless. It was revealed as he was getting offstage, that his ex-wife was originally supposed to be the guest DJ of the night. True or not, that would have been interesting. All of the comics were solid, so I was a little disappointed that the crowd was so low energy that night, myself included. I was just really tired and I would like to publicly apologize to them by saying: It wasn’t you, it was me. Two more things. Seth? Where did you learn to dance like that? And Nick Stevens, I’m going to be at The Shark Show on Saturday. I promise I’m not following you; it’s just a coincidence.
