Tonight, at long last, I’m going to witness the ALLEGEDLY über-funny local actress/comedienne/hipster — Sarasota’s own Christine Alexander!

I say “allegedly” because a) I’m a closet fan of comedian Kathy Griffin’s alleged comedy approach and b) because I’ve never actually seen Alexander perform and of course, can’t say for fact that she’s funnier than a cat running circles after its own tail (believe me, that gives me belly laughs) — but something tells me I’ll be laughing.

Anyway, I’m FINALLY going to see Alexander perform tonight — it’s CHEAP! Just $6!!

C’mon down and join me. I’ll be with a friend — a date, in fact, who’s being kind enough to indulge my comedy jones tonight — but the more, the merrier!

The show starts at 730 pm and it’s described as “a rare opportunity to catch Christine alone on stage without loud music and a shiny pole,” … um, whew, glad she’s not stealing my act!

I think other aspiring comics might be joining her, not sure …. I’m expecting big things, though, because ALLEGEDLY, Alexander has graduated from McCurdy’s Humor Institute! Yowza!
