(The following is a paid advertisement for DAVID ROBINSON appearing at the IMPROV (8162 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 323-651-2583) on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18th at 8:00PM. Your e-mail administrators are not responsible for any claims made in the following message, but they would most likely agree that DAVID ROBINSON is damn funny and that you should NOT MISS THIS SHOW!) Chanukah is a fading memory; crumpled and discarded like so much wrapping paper though the memories linger like the melted wax that will remain in the shag carpeting for years to come. Christmas looms on the horizon cursing us with two more weeks of retail hell and yuletide carols performed by Jewish entertainers; and, let's face it, most folks don't really know when Kwanzaa is but they know it must be sometime soon because Spike Lee has a new movie coming out. Our Islamic friends have just checked out of the Ramadan Inn and the folks at Hallmark are working overtime to develop a January holiday that will require the giving of cards and ceramic figurines. No matter what you celebrate there's no denying that it's the most wonderful time of the year because on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18th at 8:00PM, DAVID ROBINSON will be making his debut appearance at the IMPROV (8162 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 323-651-2583) in Hollywood! Before Budd Friedman created the IMPROV, most people thought red brick walls were just for the outsides of buildings. Now, when people see a performer in front of a plain red brick wall, they know that someone was too cheap to buy a damn curtain. But when you see DAVID ROBINSON at the IMPROV (8162 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 323-651-2583) on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18th at 8:00PM, you'll be laughing so hard you won't even be thinking about the wall. The door, maybe, but definitely not the wall. People in airports, train stations and bus terminals around the world have seen DAVID ROBINSON and said, "This guy is definitely going places!" and, for the most part, they've been right. There were times, however, when I was just picking up a friend or when I actually was going places but people couldn't tell because I didn't have any luggage. Point being, this is the part of my career in comedy where you want to see as many of my shows as possible so you can throw it in my face later when I'm rich and you want to borrow money. So make sure you clear your schedule, gather the friends and family (and the families of friends as well as friends of the family) and come on down to the IMPROV (8162 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 323-651-2583) on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18th at 8:00PM. It's only $12, which is less than I’m worth, and more than you would have spent on a Chanukah gift for me. And if that ain't a happy medium, neither is John Edward. DAVID ROBINSON appearing at the IMPROV (8162 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 323-651-2583) on WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18th at 8:00PM. Because our next palindromic year will be named after a Rush album. That's right, "Caress of Steel."
