What a great show we had at the Icehouse comedy club on September 17. Performance wise it was my best. It was an honor to have Frazer Smith and Mike Marino in the show. I was honored and humbled to have so many family and friends pack the icehouse on a Tuesday night, for my send off from my 35 year police career to now my full time Entertainer career. It was great so see so many faces that I have been working with, and so many I have worked with as far back as 30 years. My only heartbreak is that I can't spend time with everyone personally after the show. I saw so many that i hadn't seen in so many years, and we had so much to say. But I'm very conscious of everyone else who are waiting to say hi or goodbye after the show, it drives me crazy trying to manage the meet and greet after the show. It does my heart good to see everyone come together for a night of laughs, and to reconnect. With all the techno entertainment we have at our fingertips, I hope we never lose the need and joy of live performance. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show, and I know many couldn't make it, I will be producing several of my own shows in 2014. Keep up on the schedule at www.cliffyates.com
The timing of the El Portal Theatre show might be just right as my "Once before I go" show. It is taking place less than a year before I retire from the L.A. Sheriff's Dept. So many friends and folks I've worked with over the past thirty years have already bought tickets to the show. Although it wasn't planned that way, the show, with the after party, could serve as a great pre retirement celebration. Looking at the group of people that have already committed to coming to the show, I don't know if i ever could get them together like this again. This is going to be a fun night, with the show itself, and showing the footage of what we shot for the documentary, and the after party at Universal Citywalk.
