The bill at the American was arranged poorly this week. There was not a single laugh in the proceeding until Rigby appeared, next to the closing. The audience almost forgot there was such a thing as laughing until right at the heart of Rigby's act the fall upstairs occurred. The audience suddenly discovered they could laugh and were so taken with the idea that they laughed during the rest of his monologue.
