Of course this is the place where I rant.

Back on the horse

So last night was the return of my so called act to ottawa.

The show went fine but there was a sense of looking out into the crowd thinking about shit getting thrown. I am fighting a harsh cold that has turned into brochitis. I am on three kinds of meds for it and it makes me drowsy. The four hour drive yesterday was really tough as I almost fell alseep three times.

Some people has responded to my video that it was my fault that I got hit. That some lines should never be crossed. I think that is so much horseshit. So I guess the first person who made fun or rape or cancer deserved a glass in the eye for his thoughts on darker subjects.

No one as the right to do what that guy did period. There is a lack of respect for performers these days. The same guys/gals who want this kind of humour also cannot handle their booze sometimes and are just pissing in the punch bowl. If this keeps happening do you think I am going to keep going.

As I said on the radio the other day

"some kids can't handle their booze, come to comedy shows and then have a flashback to where their daddy touched them in the tub and take it out on me"

Another thing that keeps coming up is the fact that I did not jump off stage and kick the fuck out of the guy. Three problems with this

1. At first I did not even know what happened. I was in shock and pain. By the time I regained my thinking ability they were leaving the club

2. There was ten guys in the group. I did not see which one did it ..so I am to jump of the stage and beat the fuck out of ten of them with one door guy as back up. The other comic had left the club so I had very little backup as you can see from the video. No one other then one girl defended me in what happened. I had four guests in the crowd and they just sat there and did nothing. I know that if I was in a crowd and this happened I would have at least said something to make sure I do not condone this kind of behavior.

3. Do I want to go to jail? I have kids now and until they are 18 I can't be a little rockstar comic and do what ever I want. Everything I do I do for two reasons..for personal gratification from doing standup and providing for my family. Those are the two reasons...not to do blow on a late show saturday...not to fuck as many chicks as I can etc. Everyday i go on the road is a fight with my inner self to stay sane and try not to miss my family. That is under normal circumstances.

We can thank a few people for what happened. Shows like Last Comic Standing had an episode last year where the comics had to heckle each other and the comics agreed to do it. I was stunned when I heard that. Also pauly shore put out a video stunt last year of a plant punching him on stage to get press. To the general audience two things happens. One, people think this kind of beahvior is ok or two that a plant did it. I received more then one email from people who thought what happened was staged. Do you think I would risk that on a fucking laugh or youtube hits. If you do, you don't really know me

I also have gotten a couple of emails saying I deserved more and that if I come back to london that I will get "what you deserve bitch". Or that my material is brutal and I deserved to be stopped..like I am performing abortions on stage. Last time I checked it wasn't Roe.vs.Wade.vs.Frost.

If you cannot handle what I say stay home..that is why there are warnings on the door. Are you going to track down Quentin Taratino cause you were offended at the drug overdoes scene in Pulp Fiction because your third cousin lucy the streetwalker died of a heroin overdose.

The only thing I can say is what most comics have said to me in the last week

"I don't know how you keep going frosty....at least there is never a dull moment"

Sometimes I don't know either
