Edgewater Casino (Laughlin, NV)

It’s Sunday night, and I’m in my room at the Edgewater Casino in Laughlin, Nevada after a weekend of shows featuring for Tom Clark. There is nothing on TV, and I am embarrassed to say that I’m watching a movie called Underclassman starring Nick Cannon (only because I’ve watched the cycle of Sportscenter like 6x today).

It was a great weekend, 3 shows and they went well for the most part. I’m really working on tightening my 30-minute set, and I think getting to work it out three times in a row really helped me figure out how to do that. Tom is hilarious, I learn a lot from him and he has been so cool to me as a newer comic to take me on the road with him so much. He’s really really good with crowd-work, something that I’ve been trying to improve on, so I’ve been taking mental notes.

No hot chicks in Laughlin, that’s for sure. Kept me focused on stand-up, though we still found plenty of time to get drunk, eat an absurd amount at the buffet 3x a day, and to gamble. I actually ended the weekend up $100 in blackjack, so no complaints here!

We’re off in the morning, headed back to LA and back to civilization. My mullet count was at 13 for the weekend, here’s a pic of a mullet next to the sign of the “night club” in our casino to sum up the trip. Thank you Edgewater, see you again soon!
