Finally, the lights turned down, and Dougie took to the stage to
warm up the congregation. His trademark style expertly rode the
razor-thin line between entertainer and provocateur, and set the
stove to simmer before handing the microphone off to the night’s
Featured Comedian, Chad Ridgeley. South Florida’s traffic, weather,
politics, and local residents were all hilarious fodder for the TV
veteran—and the delight still hung in the air as intermission
came. This was a chance for guests to revisit the bar, get to know
their fellow Club Braman members a bit better, and settle in for
headliner, Frank Del Pizzo.

Few quiet moments were to be found throughout a set which
lasted the better part of an hour, as Del Pizzo performed his act
and bantered with several guests strewn throughout the front row.
Every story was seemingly punctuated with natural interaction, and
a continuous flow that built to a crescendo just as the night came to
a close, with a raucous ovation for each performer, and a palpable
buzz which followed the departing guests out past the lobby and
into the cool November night. As Dougie had so aptly alluded
to earlier in the evening, while technology has done wonders to
connect us, nothing can quite beat the in-person camaraderie that
Club Braman members can regularly enjoy.
