Men in Shorts @The L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival


The big houses, Bentley’s, and Bouche that you see on the one of a thousand Kardashian shows actually means dealing with Producers, Directors, Talent, and egos, egos, egos!! Sometimes I just want to hold their hands and look into their perfectly primped faces and say, “You’re making TV shows, not putting in Pace Makers.” This weekend I was relieved to be invited to a room full of suits (some of them swim suits) and hear veteran Actress Aisha Tyler confess she was trying to make it out of the bathroom without having to pay the bathroom attendant, adding, “do you have to leave a tip for her to listen to you pee??” The L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival was a heaping dose of humble pie and smiles. It reminded me that living near the Hollywood Sign can be pretentious but if I can learn to find the comedy in ordinary situations it becomes a circus of delights for my enjoyment.
