show, Edie! And thanks for telling the Leonardo the Gardener story. I need to go downtown and inspect his work. I got his number, so I can convince the recalcitrant Landlords to hire him next time.

Sadly no. Recording equipment was too expensive. I did get on Evening Magazine when I entered as a Contestant in the Miss Haight Ashbury Beauty Contest, at the Great American Music Hall - got my 15 seconds of fame.

I love to hear this SF stand-up lore. Do you have any recordings of your stand-up?

Alexis Lane Jensen

I was there every week for the Tuesday Open Mike. They were only closed for about 6 months in 1984, before Comedian Jim Samuels bought the club and they resumed Tuesday Open Mikes. I performed there regularly until Labor Day weekend 1987, when I quit Comedy to find a man to get married and settle down.

The comedian (Neil Hamburger) said that the event, as painful as it was, inspired him in a way. I'm amazed to hear you were apparently at the same show!

Can't remember his name, but yeah. Standup is a real Trial By Fire - very cathartic. I can see why the Therapist recommended it.

Tyson

Seriously!?

I thought of you, because I was listening to an interview with a comedian who was at a show there in the 80s. A guy got up, very nervously told a joke which was greeted with silence. He apologized, said that his therapist had suggested that he try stand-up (for some reason), and literally ran out of the club.

The Bumped Off Stage incident happened next door at the Last Day Saloon (now Neck of the Woods), which had picked up the slack to host Comedy Open Mikes, after the Manager of the Holy City Zoo, who had embezzled all the club's funds to support his cocaine habit, had run off to Mexico with his mistress, and the Sheriff had to padlock the front door of the 'Zoo.

Tyson: Absolutely. Started performing there in May 1984. That's where I first met Robin Williams backstage. I walked through the club and went backstage, and he followed me in there 5 minutes later, and I found myself totally star struck, face to face with my Comedy Idol, whom I had been watching on Mork & Mindy since I was in 8th grade. I was 20 years old in the summer of 1984, and I stammered like a blushing schoolgirl to him, "oh...hi...I'm a big fan of yours..." He said something like "Thank you." and that was that. Then, 2 months later, on July 13, 1984, is when he bumped me off stage (which story Edie told on the air a few weeks ago).

Karen, did you ever do or see stand-up at the Holy City Zoo?

That sale of the house next to Philip has totally made the Zestimate go from "inaccuate" to "luducrous."
