His off-stage escapades, though, offer the clearest window into his talents. Ron Megee sees comic opportunities the way Warren Buffett sees hot financial prospects. He didn't knock over a single glass. He once hosted a birthday party along an Abba theme and performed Abba songs while eating a Taco Bell taco. He throws theme parties every month, all propped and choreographed.
Invitations are more coveted than Mission Hills real estate.
He's the life of the party and the most original humorist in town. At 32, Megee is still boyish with warm hazel eyes and a soft voice just louder than a stage whisper. His eyebrows leap like crickets, his expression flits from concern to quizzical to conspiratorial, as he nervously picks at his hands, scratches his chin, or rubs an elbow, all escape valves for excess energy. Waiting outside for the Kemper Museum to open, Megee sees another visitor press the handicap button to open the door, which causes the locked door to vibrate. It's trying desperately to open for you, but it can't, it just can't.
