Mr. Bob goes to Utica

It's always a genuine pleasure to go on a road trip with my good friend Bob Levy.  That is until we are about five miles into the trip and i realize that i will be spending  the next 437 miles to Utica answering Bob's constant questions of "so how do you think it'll be?" "Do you think they'll sit up front," and "was the owner laughing?"  He then insists that his eyes are tired and that he can't drive only to stare at you the entire drive saying "watch where you're going!"    For everyone who has ever looked at a famous comic and said i could do that realize that in a twelve hour span that day Bob went from his debut on the Howard Stern show where he was heard by millions to a gig where he got screwed on the money to being crammed into a Honda Civic for a five hour drive at three in the morning through an April snowstorm in Utica! If we could of popped a Milwaukee's best we could of said it doesn't get any better than this!  We finally arrived in Utica at 4 AM  and got to sleep an entire two hours before being whisked off to do the Bill Keeler in the Morning Show to plug our gig at Fat Katz Comedy Club (who's there this week!)   

Despite all the hell it seemed like we may have went through to get to Utica, it is gigs like this that remind me i have the best job in the world.  What great people we met... allow me to introduce them now... 

Bob prepares to get on the road as he tells geno "if this car is a stick then you're driving."   Bob can only drive two things an automatic and a comedy show into the ground	When we arrive in Utica, Bob introduces me to our good friend Bill Keeler and tries to explain that the "shoeless bum who drove" is his feature for the weekend, geno.  We can't print Bill's response here.	We then meet Kay Howland, Bill's producer and the good woman who stands behind bill.  (except when she wants a raise where she is in front of Bill in a completely different position!)
Mr. Bob awakes from his nap. He's always a little cranky until his sixth Absolut shot...	Here's a money shot of Mr. Bob and Mr. Bill...	This is Bill Keeler's crack engineer Matt.  (Bill's heroin engineer, Leon,  was not available for this picture!)  Matt made a great CD of my set at Fat Katz, click here to order it...
I hit it off immediately with Pete the bartender, since he had the same name as my brother who just became a daddy.  Haven't seen my gorgeous niece Daniele yet?  click here.	Bob poses with our buddy frank who looks like he's in the mob.  That couldn't possibly be true of course because, get this,  he owns a construction company and a chain of pizzerias!	Geno relaxes with Mr. Bob in between sets...
here's a cure picture of frank with a hottie he alleges is his wife...	which is odd because this picture was snapped moments later when frank clearly told her "pipe down, i'm not paying you to talk!"	caught on film, partying after the show with Benny "Agbayani" Morosco  and his "staff" er uh i mean friends...
