Didn’t know what to expect from this show but knew I needed to laugh and this was an answer to a prayer. Two “gals” from Brooklyn sang, did jokes, made jelly shots, and created mayhem based on the life and times of the 1980’s. What a hoot!

Here they are in their final number – 1980’s music will never be the same.

Whoever thought 2 Pampered Chef, independent consultants, could create such a ruckus with their jokes and stories, parading and dancing their way through the audience. Catch them at http://www.CalamariCookware.com or 347-349-5579.

More shots, actually a recipe for their Jello Shots – distributed to audience members who aced the Play That Tune question.

Here they are visiting with the audience promoting Habitat For Humanity donations.

And get a load of Ruthie’s boots..

Then there is the flirting with the boys..

Girls just gotta have fun!

The audience participation game shows..

Here’s their biz card, look them up for a nite of fun filled with laughter..

Are You Pickled?

Tonight at 9 pm CBS with have a special pickleball tournament with celebrities like Emma Watson and Tige Notaro playing. And while Stephen Colbert is a pickleballer, if that is a word, he will be announcing during this event and singing the national anthem with Kenny Rogers, in lieu of playing. Profits for this event are for Comic Relief, an organization that has provided millions for children and families.

So how did this sport begin? Did you get a Christmas 2021 pickleball set from your wife, Evie, as Stephen did? It certainly has caught on – even Gayle King plays, an ardent exercise avoider, so it must be fun.

Pickleball is a sport of American origin, beginning in 1965 on Bainbridge Island off the coast of Washington. Three dads created this summer sport to entice bored kids on a vacation. Rules and hand made items were created for the sport and it now has evolved into a major sport. They even have a national organization!

So, tune in tonight at 9 pm on CBS. It’s guaranteed to make you laugh. And who knows you may pick up a new sport.

I know Rocco has.

Henry Cho Clean Comedy Show at the Paramount

Another great show at the Paramount and this time for a mere $20. John Ford and Henry Cho performed hilarious comedy for close to two hours. What a great evening.

John Ford, formerly of Rocky Mount, North Carolina, (48 miles from Goldsboro), started the show. This local, southern gentleman lamented his horrific love life, weight concerns, and financial dilemmas. Poor John only attracts women who want him to be his friend or moving man.

One of his clean jokes was about how he get his shirts cleaned in LA. Since it costs $6 at the dry cleaners he donates the dirty shirt to the Salvation Army where they wash it, and he later buys it back for fifty cents. This way the shirt gets cleaned, he saves money, and has a tax donation to boot. Think John is on to something here..

Next up was the headliner, Henry Cho. Henry is American born of Korean descent living in Knoxville, Tennessee. He made several jokes about how he was, “supposed to be smart,” since he was Korean. But since he was born and educated here this wasn’t the case, or so he said.

Henry has been married for over 21 years to a woman from Arab, Alabama, and he spoke so much about it I wondered if there was such a place. Well, there is and it fit as I have a neighbor from Alabama. They are the true southerners. How they ever let a Korean marry their daughter makes me wonder, but they are happy and have three children, the last of the litter he wanted to name Vasectomy.

He did several other jokes about marriage – that it was a job that you clock in and never clock out, and it comes with no benefits or vacation days. It seems like he did get a bit of a reprieve as he admitted the Goldsboro stint was only so he could play golf with a local friend. The wife said go if you can make some money and we were lucky enough to have him for over an hour.

So, thanks John and Henry for stopping by. Really enjoyed the show and hope the golf game went well.
