On the phone we have my best friend producer, ryan
McKee.
He and I performed at a prisonin Yuma doing some stand-up
comedy on Friday.
How are you doing this Mondayafter our wild weekend?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's a wild weekend.
I'm a little tired, but boy didwe have some fun.
I thought I was so nervousabout performing at a prison,
not because I was worried for mysafety, but because I just
thought we would bomb in frontof a bunch of really scary men.
Right, and it was the oppositethey loved it.
(06:16):
We did so well, at least thefirst show.
We did two shows.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, the second show wasn't as good, but they were
still appreciative.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They were really appreciative.
They didn't laugh as much, butthey seemed to.
They were engaged, they were acaptive audience.
Duh, duh, duh and they werereally nice about it.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, it was great.
What surprised you most aboutour performance in the prison?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
How few prison guards that were in there.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I know there was like one or maybe two.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, maybe there might have been zero half the
time.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
What was your favorite part of the prison show
?
What was the most entertainingpart of performing at the prison
?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It was watching you on the second show.
Just go for it, because you areflamboyant and super high
energy and the second audiencewas not really that boisterous.
But by the time you got onstage you got them really going,
I feel like yeah, yeah, thesecond show, I think.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
When I saw everyone I felt like there was no pressure
because no one was doing aswell as the last show.
So I was like I'm just going togo and just have fun, and it
was also.
I was like I'm not going totalk about prison at all, I'm
just going to go up and be sillyand goofy and just see what
they do.
And it was cool to see theseguys with prison tats on their
face just start cracking a smileat me, just being a goofball
(07:55):
and shaking my hips.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, yeah, and you were talking about how you
couldn't protect your wife.
Yeah, and you were talkingabout how you couldn't protect
your wife.
I love that.
Just owning the fact in frontof inmates that you can't fight
or you can't protect your wife,it's very funny.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Man, it was so much fun.
Make sure you follow RyanMcKee's social media and my
social media, as we'll beposting more videos and recaps
of our trip, and you even gotsome footage of our stand-up, so
we'll be posting some of thoseclips as well.

We just performed at the prisonin Yuma this weekend and we got
(08:35):
some major street cred.
Now, right?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Absolutely.
Guys with face tattoos laughedat us.
That is total street cred.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Total street cred.
Well before you leave, Ithought we'd play a game called
Real News or Fake News, withsome prison headlines.
I'll read you a headline.
You tell me if it reallyhappened at a prison or not.

We did two shows.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, the second show wasn't as good, but they were
still appreciative.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They were really appreciative.
They didn't laugh as much, butthey seemed to.
They were engaged, they were acaptive audience.
Duh, duh, duh and they werereally nice about it.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, it was great.
What surprised you most aboutour performance in the prison?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
How few prison guards that were in there.
Speaker 1 (06:51):

Speaker 3 (06:55):

time.

What was your favorite part of the prison show
?
What was the most entertainingpart of performing at the prison
?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It was watching you on the second show.
Just go for it, because you areflamboyant and super high
energy and the second audiencewas not really that boisterous.
But by the time you got onstage you got them really going,
I feel like yeah, yeah, thesecond show, I think.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
When I saw everyone I felt like there was no pressure
because no one was doing aswell as the last show.
So I was like I'm just going togo and just have fun, and it
was also.
I was like I'm not going totalk about prison at all, I'm
just going to go up and be sillyand goofy and just see what
they do.
And it was cool to see theseguys with prison tats on their
face just start cracking a smileat me, just being a goofball
(07:55):
and shaking my hips.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Yeah, yeah, and you were talking about how you
couldn't protect your wife.
Yeah, and you were talkingabout how you couldn't protect
your wife.

or you can't protect your wife,it's very funny.

As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
