Welcome to the Funny Bone! South Bend (Mishawaka) Indiana |
|

Irish mad man Mike McCarthy on stage at the Funny Bone |

|
After my set, I whipped out my camera and instructed everyone to say "Cheese". |
|

Me and Derek with some folks from the Funnybone. Janet (on the far left) runs the joint. |

Once a brewery, this building now holds a condo that the comics stay in. It's also home of Mike's Sporting Goods and the GLBT resource center. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apparently GLBT means Gay Lesbian Bi and Transexual. Derek and Mike (two heterosexual beer drinkers) try to fit in. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Up and Down 3 flights of stairs to and from the condo. We had to work off the beer somehow. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The staircase just seemed to go down and down to the earths core. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The condo was equipped with a giant bathroom door. The door also included windows for added privacy. |

This was my Batloft! This is where I would pass out after a night of comedy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I would pass out in the loft, and wake up here in the living room. Weird. |
|

|
A visit the the University of Notre Dame! The Girls Gone Wild bus was no where to be found. |
|

|
Here we have statues of Walt Disney and Roy Crock staning in front of a painting of Jesus proclaiming "It's GOOD". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is me standing in front of a statue of Moses saying "Follow me! It's not that much farther". |

Back in Mishawaka, Derek questions a word on this sign. |

Only in Mishawaka Indiana will you find a random gorilla satue for no apparent reason. "YOU BASTARDS! YOU BLEW IT UP!" |
|

This is Ed's collectables. Just look in that window. There's frying pan... and that's just the begining. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
I sat in the bushes outside this place for hours waiting for hot chicks to emerge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Center Street Pub was in the same parking lot as our Condo and the Funnybone, so we obviously spent a good amount of time there. |
