I am off to Japan. Yes, Japan. I will be performing at Iwakuni Marine Base on April 15. I will then head to Korea and perform at Osan Air Base on the 16th. That’s South Korea. I hope. Essentially, I am logging 45 hours in airports/airplanes, dodging earthquakes and tsunamis and risking radiation poisoning to tell dick jokes to our troops. Sounds about right. My girlfriend doesn’t want me to go because she fears for my safety. She should be more afraid of my Asian fetish. I want to go because I fear for my safety. Well, that and the Asian fetish. But seriously, can you imagine how much this could help career if something happens to me over there? Anything short of death or losing the ability to speak and it’s advantage Rob’s career. I can see the headlines now. Comedian almost dies performing for US troops as another quake hits Japan. Or, Earthquake measures a 7.0 on the Richter scale. Rob Maher measures a 10 on the laughter scale. D.C. Comedian kills it on stage while tsunamis kills hundreds on the street. News at 11.

So wish me luck everybody. Hopefully, I will break a leg. Figuratively and literally.
