WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE SNOW POLICY
Well, it looks like we might get some snow this weekend. Big Deal. The weathermen of course will make this out to be the storm of the century. They'll be stories about stranded motorists in Nebraska and invariably pictures of cars in Atlanta involved in a 7,000 car pileup. They'll warn you to get bread, "DON'T GO OUT UNLESS YOU HAVE TO! GET YOUR WILL IN ORDER, IT'S SNOWING!"
Remember when snow was something to celebrate? Made things look pretty and white and man it was great. But you can't sell advertising with this comment from the weathermen "Hey, it's snowing, isn't that nice, it's winter, it's supposed to snow, enjoy it". And selling advertising is what it's all about. That's why no matter what the weather is, the weathermen always make it something to fret about. "Hey it's beautiful out there today, perfect day for a bird to shit on your windshield, don't go out, stay right in front of the tube and we'll tell you all about the birds that are shitting on windshields at 11".
Well, this isn't Atlanta and it isn't Nebraska. This is the Northeast, birthplace of the American Revolution, battleground of the Civil War and of course, home to the "Jersey Shore". We can drive in the snow, we know how to plow, and we don't hide from a little snow! THAT'S why we have the greatest snow policy in the world here at the Stress Factory Comedy Club.
If it snows out on the day of a show, and you come in for the show, we will reward your heartiness with a free ticket for another show in the future! You read that right. Just come in on a snow day and we'll treat you to another show in the future! It's our way of saying thank you. Thank you for not believing the weathermen and living in fear! Thank you for not hiding from a little snow and thank you for making THE STRESS FACTORY the greatest stand up comedy venue in the World.
LAST NOTE ON THIS:
We don't cancel shows. We've had this policy for years and a few things stick out in my mind. There are some people who don't drive in the snow at all. Even though the roads are plowed, salted and clear. These people, the wimps if you will, are the same people who drive 5 mph through EZPASS, when clearly, you can do 40 mph without a problem. These are the same people who sit in their cars at the mall, knowing your waiting to park in the spot they're about to vacate, adjusting their seatbelts, positioning their mirrors and generally annoying the shit out of you while you wait. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE HOME WHEN IT SNOWS, RATIONING THEIR BREAD AND TELLING THEIR LOVED ONES TO "Remember me, in case I don't make it out of the snowstorm!"
SO, since they're all home, getting here, parking and enjoying the show is EASIER THAN EVER!!! No whiners!! Not on the road, not in the parking garage and not sitting next to you during the show. We've had some of the greatest shows EVER on snow days. JOIN US THIS WEEKEND NO MATTER WHAT. You'll be in GREAT company, and in some small way, you'll be honoring the heros of the American Revolution and the Civil War. And who doesn't want to do that!
FEB 3rd BE THERE!!!
Hey everyone I want you here on Feb 3rd, more important you WANT TO BE HERE.
That's the night we're taping a live pilot with two of my best friends, Kevin Brennan and Jim Breuer.
Storytellers is a format I've been putting together for three years. Finally, in October, we did one with another great Friend Jim Florentine. If you were there, you saw me, Brennan and Florentine have a blast on stage telling some of the funniest stories out of our personal lives.
The show ran like this. First, all three of us did a short stand up set, about 10 to 12 minutes each, then, all three of us went back on stage and we were all mic'd at the same time, telling stories and sharing some hysterical, sometimes moving, sometimes disturbingly funny (anyone look at Florentine the same way after THAT story?!) tales from our lives. We had so much fun we did it again in December and it was so much fun we decided to tape it.
SO, on the 3rd of February I was able to convince my buddy Jim Breuer to join me and Brennan and make this thing a pilot. Jim and I are on the road together a lot so there's bound to be some funny stories there and of course Brennan is close to both of us and his stories are amazing. We've hired William Philbin to tape us and he'll be setting up a three camera shoot and then editing it all down into one kick ass special. If you saw Jim's documentary "More than Me", you'll know how good Billy is!
Tell your friends and more importantly come support us as we venture into new territory. I guarantee you'll have a great time.
Hope you make it!
