I know it has been a while since i have updated... Sunday night I went down to Cobb's, which is a comedy club here in San Francisco. I went to see my friend Ali Mafi do his thing while opening for a one Ms. Aisha Tyler. Mr. Mafi was hilarious as always. Nothing like a gay, hilarious, Iranian to make you laugh. He is a very unique breed of funny that I can only describe as hilarious. It was amazing! Going there, I knew this would be good show. I have seen Tyler's special "Aisha Tyler is Lit," and watched some of her bits on youtube. For those who haven't watched this special, I suggest to Netflix it because she is phenomenal.
As someone who has seen his fair share of comedy shows, Aisha Tyler puts on a show. When you go to see her, you are getting your money's worth. Her comedy is relevant to almost everyone in the audience and not the standard standup-punch. She stays personable through out the entire show and normal. While she is famous, she still remains down to earth and able to connect with her audience in a way that I think is rare with comedian of her stature. In all seriousness, shows like hers are why I do standup.
My favorite quote of a night was when Tyler said something like, anyone here "love drinking, like it's a person?" Brilliant! Ms. Tyler even stuck around for photos with her fans cause that's how she rolls. My friend Yeg and I took several photos with her which was cool. After we left, we realized that the photos came out horrible, so I will not embarrass anyone by posting it here. Instead, please enjoy this from "Aisha Tyler: Is Lit" :
