Comedy Store you were always
nice to me.” I said you’re supposed to be nice to people, he
goes, “Yeah, but I don’t forget
that.”
You’re playing the Tropicana on
August 2nd. That’s one of the
few casinos on the upswing.
The Tropicana is the best place
I’ve done standup since the
Sands closed. They’re one of the
only casinos in the black. I can’t
explain why, but they have the
whole spectrum of ages. They’re
not like a young hip club and
they’re not like an old, fuddyduddy club. You go to the bar
there and it’s like being in Ire-
land. You’ll see an 80-year-old
couple sitting next to teenagers. It’s a really different vibe
there. It’s not an elitist vibe or a
big money vibe, it’s got everyone
and I think that helps it.
To me, doing Atlantic City is the
ultimate, coolest thing for me
and my career because I grew
up in Philly. I grew up down the
Shore and to be headlining a
casino, I never lose sight as to
how cool that is. I mean it’s so
weird to be on a billboard on the
Atlantic City Expressway next to
someone like Eminem or Gladys
Knight!
