Madhouse Monday/ Tuesday

Monday show was pretty dead. We didn't start until after the game ended, which was about 830. Luckily there weren't many comics there so I still managed to leave by 1015. I didn't really feel like going on, so instead I spoke with another comic and we just got on stage and work shopped some of my new/ not polished jokes. It was kind of interesting. I've been doing some jokes about Jesus I'm not sure if they're over the top. I think theyre funny but a lot of people think highly of Jesus.

Tuesday wasn't much better. It was a long show. We had a lot of open micers and we had some other ppl pop in. Some dude that was Comedy Central, he was pretty funny. Had good stage presence and overall zany persona. I am working on figuring out what I want to do for my headline show. I did about 8 minutes of it. I think every punchline went over well with the 4 ppl in the crowd.

I then went over to a friend's house. It's a lady who is quite pretty. I can't gauge whether or not she is interested in me, I'd guess no, but I don't think any attractive gal could like me. Anyways one of the coolest things happened last night. It was amazing and cool.

Winston's 10-23

Pretty solid crowd, pretty much everyone did good. I didn't feel like I did that great. I planned on doing a set and some ppl from work came so I decided to do dirty other stuff. I rapped which was weird. Oh well only 2 weeks til I headline. I hope a lot of people go and I make dollar bills ya'll. Here our the promo vids I made.

Madhouse 10-21

Pretty decent show last night. Small, mostly comic crowd. My pants were pretty loose so I decided before I got on stage I was going to ask the dude that brought me up for his belt. It's a funny little thing and the crowd seemed to like it. I had a few beers before I went up. I rarely do that, but I was offered free drinks and god knows I don't pass that up. I wasn't drunk at all, I just was a little more relaxed. I told a few stories that I worked on and will do again on Friday at Winston's. I hung out after with a few of the other new comics. I think the 4 of us are the next SD generation. Not sure they feel the same way, but when I started 2 of them were the ones I saw that had a future. The third guy started a little before me and he has progressed a lot.
There's a kid that has been talking to me a lot of getting into comedy. As much as I can give him, the only piece he needs to hear and do is get on stage. I still regret not starting when I came out here 3 years ago. Who knows where I'd be.

Bad shows

Wow I sucked at Winston's Friday. Maybe I wasn't funny, but honestly the crowd was bad. I have been doing really well there but this show was awful. I mean most of the comics did pretty bad. I don't get why people would go to a comedy show and just stare at someone. I'm listening to my set now, and possibly I wasn't funny. Who knows.

I did the Comedy Store this evening before I worked the door at the Madhouse. There was no one there, but I did ok. I left and headed over to the Madhouse. It was a cool show to be at as there was almost 200 people there.

Anyways here's the video, not sure why I'm even posting it.

Madhouse Monday

This was my first time doing the Madhouse on Monday. It was quie a small crowd. The show started after Monday Night Football. The only group that stayed the whole time did not want to laugh at all. I've realized with these types of crowds you have to keep it dirty. They don't want to think they just want to hear edgy stuff. I guess I did ok. I went outside for a bit and overheard someone say "he was the funniest one." So as a human I made sure I spoke to that person so he'd tell me I was funny. I know it's lame, but the acceptance of random people means a lot.

I have been moved from new talent to the talent part of the show. That is cool, but there will be about 5 people in the crowd when I go on. No worries, when I'm up there I just want to try some stuff and if you can make 6 ppl laugh you're doing comedy right. I will also be able to do shows on Wednesday and Sunday. Things are progressing nicely. I want to go to some colleges and try to book myself for next semester. I'm going to wait until I headline and use that tape.

I took 2 days off from the gym for the first time since Thanksgiving. I have been extremely busy lately. I like it. Still drinking too much, oh well it calms me down and helps me sleep.

Short comedy

Did a quick set at the Comedy Store last night. Went over early and got on the alternates list. My set went ok I guess. The crowd wanted to laugh but it seemed they wanted dirty. I'm trying to work on crowd work and it's a learning process.

Madhouse new talent

Welp did the new talent night again. I went up pretty much last. There was a decent crowd. I think they need to try to keep the audience tighter together, to act like it's a bigger crowd and youre not hearing random laughs from around the room.

I did pretty much all new stuff. I once again did my nervous, weird pacing thing. I think it went really well, and I'm kind of creating a persona, unintentionally at open mic shows. I'm not sure if I'm nervous, or not comfortable with the material. I got some good laughs, and got some solid ideas for material. I'll give my set a B+.

Jokes: hand jobs, 3 yrs single, pulling out, condoms, delicacy, pretzels.

Madhouse promoting

Well I did the Madhouse tonight. I was the promotor of the show. I hate doing it, but it's an important thing with comedy. I was pretty worried, because at 830 I only had 3 people there. But around 20 people ended up coming so that was awesome. I did pretty good. Some of the comics said they enjoyed me so that was cool. Gaining a comics approval is the hardest thing to do. I'd give the set a B. I didn't go into the awkward choppy pacing. I felt good up there and think most of my punch lines hit.

On a side note. I HATE PROMOTING. I hate having to ask people to come watch me and pay for overpriced drinks. I hate the fact a bunch of people said they were going to come and didn't show up. If you're not going to come just say it. I can't say thank you enough to the people that showed up.

Either way, here's the video. Hope you like it.

Winston's Ocean Beach

Ran the show again last night. I really like the extra responsibility. It makes me feel somewhat important and like I'm doing my part to help the comedy. It's so crazy how much I've learned just about aall the ins and outs of comedy since I started. You can see the excitement and fear in a new comics eyes. It's fun to watch.

There was a pretty good crowd last night and I had a pretty solid set. I'm not sure if it was the spot I had or if I simply was funny. I'm still doing that kind of slow awkward delivery. I think it works but it's so weird how it just starts while I'm on stage.

I will be headlining Winston's on Nov 6. That will be pretty cool. I plan on doing at least 20 minutes. It's weird because I feel there is a couple people I'd like to ask to be my opener but I don't know how many of them would pick me, and if I pick them how many other people I'd piss off by not picking them. I think I'm just going to go with a girl I told to come out last night. She is quite funny and can bring an audience. Also, she's an outsider so I'm not going to piss anyone off.
