Comedy Competition

There's going to be a comedy competition at Winston's tonight. It's kind of weird to do a competition at a club I do every week. Esp. considering there's always the same comics. There's going to be one winner and a lot of jealous comics. I wouldn't say I'm the jealous type but I am quite tired of watching comics who either steal jokes or just plain arn't funny getting better gigs than me. Yes I've gone pretty far in the 5 months I've been doing it, but it makes me sick the time and effort I need to put in simply to get booked.

I basically need to sit outside and be a door man for no money at these clubs to get booked for the shows. I really don't have the patience or the time really to be doing that. If I was still unemployed it would be a different story, but I want a life outside of comedy. I don't want to be there every night hearing the same jokes, from the same semi talented comics. There are definately a lot of comics much better than me, but even they are doing the same jokes night in and night out. I guess I didn't realize the sucking up I'd have to do just to have the opportunity to make people laugh.

I guess I'm just bitter and maybe too competitive. Hopefully I can have a good set and at least place in this thing at Winston's tonight. Either way I'll keep with it, hopefully good things happen soon. My time table is ticking.
