MAYER TRIES OUT COMEDY AGAIN
JOHN MAYER returned to a stand-up comedy club in New York last Thursday n ight (24Jun10) - four years after his first outing as a funnyman there fe ll flat.
The rocker, who has long entertained the idea of a stand-up sideline, a ppeared at Manhattan’s Comedy Cellar in 2006 but his set wasn’t popular w ith the audience, and critics accused him of racial slurs and sexism.
Mayer has since tried out his act on numerous occasions and he returned to the venue last week (ends27Jun10) to put right his previous flop.
And the star managed to put on an impressive show, according to the New York Daily News, with a source telling the newspaper Mayer was "really n ervous right before he went on and kept checking his notes that he brough t onstage," but his act went down well with the tough crowd.
