Comedy Night at the Kingston May 28, 2009
Posted by mwj as comedy, events, vancouver. add a comment.“My name is Andrew Christian John von Rosenbach-Torbeke. If you can pronounce it properly on the first try I’ll buy you a beer.”
They say if you can get someone saying yes in the first 30 seconds of a negotiation, it’s a done deal. The same is true for comedy — if all it takes is saying your name to get the audience laughing, you know it’s going to be a good night.
And tomorrow night is certainly going to be a great one at The Kingston in downtown Vancouver on 755 Richards (between Georgia and Robson) (map). Every Monday and Thursday night, 9:30-11:00, the restaurant hosts some of the hottest comedy gigs in town. Tomorrow’s show is no exception. Headlining is winner of Vancouver’s Funniest Comic Competition, Phil Hanley, as well as Richard Lett, Alicia Tobin, and two newcomers to the comic stage, James Masters and Andrew Von Rosenbach.
I had a chance to catch up with ACJvRT (he usually just goes by Andrew) before the show and learn what it’s like to be a new comedian on the scene. Check out the full interview below and come see Andrew perform live tomorrow night at the Kingston.
UPDATE: check out Andrew’s two songs he performed last night, “Fuck War (A Protest Song)” and “Secret Admirer“. Go Andrew!
