True to its name, Wet Cash culminates with one lucky audience member being presented with a wad of bills that have been stewing in a fishbowl during the hourlong stand-up show. It’s a decent amount of money—something in the realm of 30 bucks—that comes out of the producers’ pockets, with the wee downside that it’s too waterlogged to carry home in a purse or wallet.
Audiences root for the comics at Wet Cash, and it shows. Stand-up Melody Kamali felt comfortable sharing personal details about her journey across the sexuality spectrum as if she were catching up with an old friend. Her act wasn’t as overtly iconoclastic as Gerard’s, but was a refreshing break from the setup-punchline convention.
