Open Mic Night at the Holy City Zoo
3 years ago
Back in the early 1990’s when the Holy City Zoo still existed in San Francisco, I bravely showed up on Open Mic Night with a sparse list of possible jokes. I was nervous, but not in the sweating blood way. I felt okay even though not all my jokes were appreciated. Yet I did get to successfully deal with a heckler—a fellow wannabe comedian. That was fun.
After I went back to college, I found out that local comedian Will Durst tried to reopen the Holy City Zoo, but was not successful in being a businessman. He’s much better as a comedian, but at least he tried to keep the place open. For that, he deserves a great deal of credit.
