Carmen Goes Off The Hook

July 29, 2015

Posing with some new friends. 



There is one thing this little cannoli really enjoys and that is good…off the hook comedy! So I traveled to Naples with my friends Debbie and Jacob to see some live and in person comedians. What a thrill! We do not have many comedians back in my village.  We cannoli’s are not known for being funny…sweet yes…funny not so much! 

We went to the Off The Hook Comedy Club which is located in Row Seafood by Capt. Brien and Crew. Let me tell ya he has one heck of a crew too.  The drinks are most yummy. Yes I did have my all-time favorite White Russian but the martini’s looked yummy to. The food is also really good. Sometimes you go to a comedy club and you get bar food but not here. One can have dinner and see a show. Now that is my idea of a good time…good food and drinks with friends and a live comedy show. Ahh life in SWFL! 


Me and Frank Del Pizzo
 The opening act was a paisan Frank Del Pizzo. He is a Jersey Boy. Now most opening acts well sometimes they are not so good…but Frank was hilarious! I laughed so hard as he would pick on people in the audience… luckily I am small enough he could not see me. Most were good sports about it but some well they tried to be as funny as Frank and this was an epic fail…never mess with a comedian especially if they are Italian and from New Jersey! 

 
Me and Adam Hunter...what a cutie!
The headliner was a little cutie Adam Hunter…he has that little boy cute look to him and the girls in the audience seemed to find him attractive….judging by how many want to meet him after the show. His show is not for the faint of heart and is rather sexual…lordy the things he talked about this cannoli had no idea people did such things….cannoli’s would never do such things….. ok maybe we do but we never talk about them…ok maybe we do but never in public…At first I thought I was the only one who did not understand his jokes but he did explain them from time to time but then I figured out it was part of his act.

After the show I got to meet both Frank and Adam as well as one of the owners Santo and his lovely wife…Capt. Brien was not there after the show...sigh…as I was so looking forward to meeting him. I also met some fans of Adam. Austin in particular was most interesting and taught me all about MMA fighting. He was a huge fan of it and so is Adam who does podcasts during the fights. Apparently it has a huge following. Us cannoli’s are rather a peaceful lot so we have no such thing back in our village. 

It was a really great evening and I so love meeting famous people, they never seem to mind having their picture taken with me. There were these 2 girls who were really frightened of me. One was from England and the other Alabama. They have never seen a cannoli before and I guess my beauty was too much for them….either that or they have no sense of humor.

I rather liked Off The Hook Comedy club and plan to return to see another show. My next planned adventure is going to be on August 9 when I will be meeting many WWII veterans at a Spirit of 45 event. But you never know where I will be showing up….so when you see me…stop and say hello and have your picture taken with me. I love to have my picture taken.
