What is more NEWrotic than being a comedian in New York City? Perhaps the grave-yard shift at the local Quickie-Mart, Chain Drugstore or Fast Food Franchise where like in New York City Comedy Clubs you get to observe up close and personal the best and worse of human nature. Audiences and comedians can be brutal to each other, to paraphrase Obi-Wan Kenobi, "To be a comedian, Luke you must confront and then go beyond the dark side."
