Blu,
When I first read the subject line I thought that you got to sit in the front row. However about a year and half ago, I was invited to go to a comedy club, sat where I was definetly able to be seen, no comments from any of the comics. Of course the comedy was really bad, so I guess that might have been the reason. When it was over plenty of what the occasion questions, do you play the bagpipes and all the other questions we get.
Another time I was at a concert where one of the local Celtic bands was playing, and surprise it was mentioned that I was kilted and then he proceeded to ask all those questions in front of everyone. When it was over many and I do mean many guys came up to me and said that they wished that they had worn their kilts.
My favorite time was when I got a free lunch for being kilted, which I related in another thread awhile back, don't want to make Graham or Rufus jealous, so I will leave it at that.
I do go to city council meetings kilted, but no real big deal as nothing is said. It does however drive my city councilman crazy, thinks that I am infringing on his trademark of a cowboy hat, most everyone else thinks that it is cool, at least that is what they say off the record.

I've not worn my kilt to a comedy club, but have been heckled for wearing a suit!!!
Me and a few buds were out on a stag night and the dress code was suited and booted. One particular guy kept looking at us and exclaimed that 'the mormons were in'!!!
I suppose we looked out of place amongst all the jeans and t shirts. Chances are if I had worn my kilt no one would have noticed.

You just weren't trying hard enough, Glen!
I suppose that a comedy club might be a possible venue for a kilts night in Ontario sometime....

Well, I guess that Caroline's Comedy Club in new York City would meet these requirements!
I went there to see Billy Connolly and Emo Phillips. NEITHER one said a daggum thing! It shocked me that Billy didn't run with it!
The ONLY time that I wore it and got comments was one night when Rocky and I went to see Seamus Kennedy at Brittingham's in Philadelphia. HE had a wonderful time with them, and even sang the "Kilt Song". Ever since, I wear the kilt to EVERY Seamus concert.
Next Saturday November 13th, he'll be at the Harp and Fiddle in Pittsburgh... and so will I... in a kilt.
Arise. Kill. Eat.
