Hosting/ running Winston's

Hosted Winston's for the 2nd time last night. Ran the show for the first time. I enjoyed doing both. I didn't do many jokes but that's fine, I'll have plenty of time for that. I was going to do some time until I got a kick in the stomach from one of the comics I thought I had good repour with. He's a rather short comedian who followed another short comedian. I brought him up as "Let's bring up another funny tiny comic." When he got to the stage he didn't shake my hand and said, "You have a lot to learn about hosting." I guess he's right, but it was just kind of a wake up call and hit me pretty hard. He told me after he was just kidding, but I'm pretty sure he was serious. With people that have been doing comedy for a long time, they take things pretty seriously.
Anyways, running the show was cool. I like being able to give people a chance to be funny. There was a good crowd. They were mostly coming to see the headliner, who was one of the founders of doing comedy at Winston's. He started off really strong, but it's really difficult to hold a bar crowd's attention for 40 minutes. I talked with the guy that I'll be helping run the show, and we want to limit the headliners time to 25 minutes max. I think this will give a lot more time to more comedians and make the show run smoothly.
Welp I'm off to work for the 4th of 11 straight days. I don't mind it, I enjoy the people that I work with. Comedy store tomorrow, bigish show at the Madhouse next Sunday, well see how they run it.
