The northwoods is not typically known as the hotbed of entertainment, but we thought we'd liven up an otherwise relaxing evening in front of the fire and check out tickets to Joan Rivers.
How lucky were we! There were tickets left and for only $20. We rejected front row seats to protect our egos from humiliation in case Joan choose us to make fun of.
The casino is only a 30 minute drive from our cabin. We had dinner at the casino restaurant and it was not bad. When the show started, I half expected to see a Joan Rivers impersonator instead of the real thing. The woman is 75 years old and yet she chose to perform at a small time casino in Lac du Flambeau, Wisconsin. Despite the plastic surgery, or perhaps because of it, she looked fantastic. As for her act, it was non-stop and no subject was immune from her jokes. When she ventured into Helen Keller jokes, an audience member got up, yelled at her that such jokes were not kind, blah, blah, blah, She let him have it back calling him a few rude names.
The subject of her jokes included some of the following: hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise, Madonna, Angelina; physical characterisics such as being fat or short; male and female genitalia and how they shrink or hang low as we age;Viagra and Cialis; the woman with octuplets; children "yuck"; her grandson Copper or is it Cooper?; and last but not least the tried and true subject matter to bring forth laughter -- FARTS!
It was a fun evening -- I even put $20 into a poker machine and lost $5 of it.
