Caroline's

When I was 19 I did Caroline's, the biggest, best, brightest, most popular and famous club in NYC, literally on Broadway. I was scared and not ready. I mean, I had prepared for weeks, but I was still too much of a 19 year old know-nothing.

In the green room I chainsmoked Newport Lights. I was a huge Hip-Hop fan back then (I idolized 2Pac and Biggie) so I was in the mood to smoke a cigarette popular with minorities. I smoked an entire pack and inhaled so deeply that I had a bad wheeze by the time I got on stage.

In a hack move I mostly talked about masturbation. Being a virgin I had no idea that sex was more physically demanding than masturbation so I talked of being able to have sex 10 times a day, revealing myself as a virgin to over 300 audience members.

But even back then I had that Will Johnson charisma (something I always have had and always will have) so I ended up having a pretty good, funny, raucous set and I left the stage feeling like a million bucks.

After that, I just needed to get laid!
