Comendy Night with Andrew Cornelius-Comedy Naught!

Andrew Cornelius is "astonishingly, a working actor, comedian and voiceover artist."  This according to the flyer promoting Comedy Night at the UWS Yoga Studio.  Andrew will tell you himself, for the next tedious 1 hour  of self-indulgence everything you didn't care to know in his biopic, myopic focus on - himself.  Before sounding too harsh (too late) he is an ingratiating & benevolent raconteur, only his life story wears thin.  He does have a small cult following among his yoga class mates and convention audiences.   I cheer the goodwill extended by the studio owners who made Andrew's "comedy" night possible.  The $10 admittance was a mere pittance.  However Andrew's former career as an MBA corp. until his seismic shift to comedy/acting was anything but earth shaking (except to his mom.)  But, if he can make it here, he can make it anywhere, at least as a body double stand-in or waiter.  The highlight of the night was an improvised sketch with 10 year old Jason who aspires to a career onstage.  Their comedy skit together was genuine and skillful.  This kid had something & Andrew played nicely off him.  He also doted on the owners young daughter with age appropriate riddles.  I was enticed by the close proximity and the $10 fee with NO 2-drink minimum.   Sadly, the laughs were at a minimum, too.
