COMEDY Hello, hello, hello Comedy Lovers! by Felicia Aleman When you’re thinking of somewhere romantic
for you and your sweetie to celebrate Valentine’s Day, try a comedy show. Your love will only grow when you laugh together at an inappropriate joke about someone’s privates. There will be romance in the air as you discuss which Trump joke was the best. Giggle your way into each others’ hearts. Thanks to the extra 2 people who checked out my monthly video “Running the Light” (posted at ModestoView.com). I appreciate your feedback on the new “production values”. Keep watching and commenting. This month’s new production value is audio. We recorded at the quietest place I could think of: the library. I’m good at having ideas, but sometimes my ideas are not so good. In this month’s Running the Light I try to get to know Rocco better. Rocco is the cameraman/graphic designer extraordinaire and the other half of the shindig. My guest is Serena Gamboa, The Spicy Latina. I thought of her because she recently got engaged and this is a month of romance, but we talked about her comedy experiences as a performer, producer
LUCKY and promoter; and her work with military veterans. Fun Fact: She digs Rocco’s music So, where are you going this month?
