I was rinsing my face with cold water in the mens bathroom. I had just finished my weekly set at a dive comedy-cellar on Ludlow. Like any other Thursday night, the floor was sticky. There was a mixture of neighborhood locals, mostly drunks who turned into late-night creeps, and the usual lot of New York City tourists who exited after their complimentary drink.
