Great Shows at the Ventura Comedy Club

Had a great weekend of shows at the Ventura Harbor Comedy Club.  Can't thank Mike Marino enough for hiring me as his feature act.  We had a great show on Friday night, and two great shows on Saturday Night. Now one of the shows, had a a drunk female, who was obnoxious loud out of control heckler of everyone. I didn't really deal with her too much, I kind of just bowled over her noise, and continued on, and it went great, but the audience was aware and distracted by her.  As the feature act I have to be conscious of my interaction with the audience, and leave the energy as high as I possibly can for my headliner.  I knew Mike would take care of that table in short order, and ofcourse he did, and thats the way he likes to do it.  They actually got escorted out of the club.  But the crowd and Mike Marino were on the same page, and that is an art form to be able to do what he did, and still deliver the best entertainment he can for the paying customers, who came to be entertained and laugh, and have a good time.  Mike is very conscious of this and gives the best show possible, wherever he is, and however many people are in the crowd, from 10 to 10,000.  He always delivers.  There can't be a better school for working the crowd and dealing with drunks or hecklers, than watching Mike Marino do it live.  The Ventura Harbor Comedy Club is a class act !,, Thanks to Randy Lubis, the co owner and MC, a national headliner in his own right, did a fantastic job, and treated all of us in the show with great respect.  He was outstanding.  The staff is great, and very attentive to the patrons, as well as the comedians.  Roger the door manager was fantastic, I can't thank him enough for taking the time to tape our sets and getting the DVD's to Marco Assante and myself.
