This is going to sound like the set up to a joke but it isn’t, just a mildly interesting thing I guess. I went out to a work dinner to a place in Los feliz probably back in about 2009. Place called Little Dom’s. And they start setting up a table for a big party right next to us which was annoying cause it was right next to us and it’s not a huge place. Then a friggin gaggle of the biggest comedians of the era start filing in. It’s tim heidecker, Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, I want to say Patrice O Neal rip (but i might be making that up) aziz ansari, and a few more. This is LA so not CRAZY that this would be happening but also…well kind of crazy to me cause I was a massive fan of Tim and Eric at the time. My co-workers didn’t really clock it and I spent the entire rest of the dinner listening to their conversations expecting it to be the funniest most epic private comedy moment ever witnessed. Nope. Just like 10 friends having a regular dinner. Then I felt weird about having been so fixated on eavesdropping.
Some comedians/entertainers are just "on" all the time, like Robin Williams for example. But most of them are just normal people when they aren't clocked in.
