Laugh Outside: Matt Stanton's 1000th Comedy Show
A thousand shows is the number nobody in the audience is supposed to know about. It is a private milestone — bar rooms with four people in them, a Tuesday in a laundromat, the drive home rewriting a tag that died. Standing in a yard watching someone hit it in public is a strange and good thing to be invited to, because the person on stage is counting and you are not.
Comedy outdoors is harder than it looks. There is no ceiling to hold the laugh in, so a joke either travels across open air or it evaporates, and comics who work this series will tell you the first two minutes are spent teaching a crowd under the sky how to be a room. Quartyard is built out of shipping containers in East Village with a lawn and a beer line and dogs underfoot, which means the laughs you do get are the ones that earned it.
Six in the evening on a Friday, downtown San Diego. Every comic you have ever loved had a thousandth show that nobody filmed.
