I did the Comedy Store again tonight. It is a great room to perform at. The laughs are so much louder and the attention is all on you. It is also weird to look out in the crowd and see people basically just staring at you, thinking "Make me laugh monkey." You paid zero dollars to get in, why the f are you here if you're not even gonna try to let me make you laugh.
I didn't have a guarenteed spot, but I was hanging out with the lady near the comedy club after so I went down to try to get on the alternate list. I texted one of my comedy buds I knew was gonna be there to ask about the alt list, he said there was 2 ppl on it. I figured with the bad weather (so lame I say mid 50's temp and a lil rain is bad temp to me now) that a lot of people wouldn't show up. Yay, I was right. A bunch didn't show up, I was alt 7 or so. But the host adjusted the schedule and put ppl where he wanted. He called some sub par comic his favorite new talent. I know he didn't mean it but well I hope he didn't anyways cuz that dude, eh, lame. My buddy closed the new talent section, the host basically said he wasn't new talent when he introduced him. Well then stop being a closed fraterity and let other ppl into youre comedy club line up. Comedy is so full of politics.
My set. It was the first time I went on stage and wasn't completely sure of what I was gonna do. I had some ideas, but nothing set. I started off kinda choppy but I did some funny stuff i think. 3 minutes is not comedy. I feel like once I even catch my breath I already get the light. The host was talking to one to a dude that used to run OBC and now is a Comedy Store lacky asking if he was a "Jeff Bilodeau fan" WTF that was about I have no idea. I do feel like ppl knw who I am at the Comedy Store now which is nice, but how many more open mics do I hve to do to be a more than 3 minutes kind of comic. As I was there they announced the features for the night. I don't recall both names, but one was this f word terrible comic. I mean uncomfortable awkward comedy. i had to leave when the lady saw him last week. he has jokes about a letter from a crack baby and a lot of hitler stuff. it's not funny and it scares many ppl.
Good luck... I realized I've had some good luck. I have basically been lying to my insurance company for 4 yrs saying I still lived in Maine. I never got into an accident or had anyone hit me. I say it's good luck, but I still control it, as I'm a great driver. But, I guess I need to switch it over and pay 3 times as much. Whatever all my posts are about how unlucky I am, I figured I didn't get unlucky with this yet. Let's jinx it, yay!
