Comic Road Stories: Michael Kosta
Shoe Model - Atlanta, GA
I have to admit, being a comedian is pretty bad ass. There are a lot of nice perks of the job. Besides the most obvious perk of unlimited drinks, you also get to travel the world, make the occasional TV appearance, and we get paid to make people laugh (usually). Pretty bad ass if you ask me.
However, no job is perfect. I have to remind myself of this every time an audience member starts telling me a "Priest walks into a bar" joke, or when I'm staying at a "comedy condo" and I find a condom on the mattress, or when a barber in Edmonton starts taking pictures of me because "You've been on TV, eh?". That being said, it beats having to wake up at 7am and sit at a desk all day. I love my job, and most of all I love all the ridiculous people you meet along the way...

The popular comedy night that originated in Los Angeles made its way into Orange County just a few years ago and has quickly become a popular weeknight attraction. Every Tuesday, Comedy Juice starts at the Brea Improv at 8 p.m., and moves to the Irvine Improv at 10 p.m. This "traveling" line-up usually consists of five comedians...

I wrote the last entry about my desire to lose weight losing miserably to the immediate deliciousness of fattening food. Well, I'm happy to report that the pattern continues...
LA's the only place you'll see a manequin with fake tits.
I'm tryin to be healthy. It's my new thing. (That I've been trying to get going for the last decade.)
But I've been doin better lately. Eating healthier, playin ball one or two times a week.
And so I showed up for a stand up set at Barney's Beanery Pasadena last night to work on some new material. Planned on eating a green salad for dinner...
So the surgery is on.
Some of you may know that I am almost totally deaf in my left ear.
Because of a long life of inner, middle, upper and lower ear problems
I have lived with basically no hearing in my left ear much to the
annoyance of people in bars and anyone on my left side...
