SAT APRIL 16, 2016 // EVERY SECOND TUESDAY OF THE MONTH (V.V. VARIETY #8)

In the weeks prior to this performance I spent of a lot of late nights recording vocals for the music album titled "YOU CAN IF YOU WANT TO."  Singing the songs over and over again to get them right, I was forced to revisit the memories of past relationships. I had no material prepared for this standup performance at a variety show I was booked for, so I took the thoughts that came to mind while recording preposterous love songs and changed them into jokes. I practiced the jokes on the drive from my temporary home in Talent, Oregon to San Francisco. Farewell sweethearts. 

As part of the Vanessa Verlee Variety show, Michael dusts off his comedy persona, and although very tired, puts on a very good performance.
