The ‘Career Defining’ Christmas Eve joke @RiverfrontArts
I used to be a scholar of Viking Mythology. My favourite story is that of a Viking Warrior named ‘Rudolph the Red.’ Rudolph was looking out of the window one night when he turned to his wife and said ‘It’s going to rain.” To which his wife responded, “How could you possibly know that?’
“Because Rudolph the Red, knows rain, dear”
Audience reaction 10/10
(Full round of applause from the audience)
