Ahh the roller coaster that is comedy

Did 2 shows in one night for only the 2nd time tonight. I was about to say first time but I remember now that I did do 2 rooms one Friday a while back. That was actually the same night I was asked to help out with OBC. Anyways the first room was god awful. I mean people were talking and the people that were actually watching the show didn't want to laugh nor even be involved in the show. There was a meet up group there that didn't even want to laugh. It wasn't just me, all the comics did bad. I hate doing bad, but here felt particularly more soul crushing because it was my first time doing the room, and I will prolly never go back.

While I was there one of the Comedy Store regulars who also runs a bar in Pacific Beach asked another comic to come down and do the show tonight. I was standing next to him, so he asked me to. I've never really talked to the guy, so whether he was just being nice or actually wanted me to go, I'll take the invite either way. He was actually the comic from the Comedy store the other night that asked if the door guy was a fan of me. He's told me before I was funny so maybe he does think I have some potential.

Anways I get to the place and of course it's a bar. He tells me this is the hardest room in San Diego. I'm like "Harder than the place we were just at?" He says yes. I'm like awesome. I went up first which is never easy. I get up there and go with the Mclovin stuff and the crowd loves it. I proceed to do crowd work for the rest of the time. I try to tell jokes but get interupted and talk to them. Actually had a few girls get up with me on stage and take pictures. This was one of the nights I wish I had business cards. I could have added all those people and brought them to other shows. So I walk off stage knowing I killed. Thats such a good feeling to do well, esp. in front of people that don't wanna hear comedy. Had some people tell me I was funny, even the door man called me Mclovin. The girls that were chatting with me said I did well and wished I was up there longer.

I brought the lady with me and she enjoyed it. When I was trying to locate her I noticed her at the bar. Some dude was trying to hit on me, and saying I was funny. I stroll up she says she knows me he proceeds to buy me a beer. We then go over and hang out with them for awhile. Before I left I talked to the dude that is in charge of the show. He's been on comedy central and stuff. He said I did really well and could come back any time I'd like. That was cool, he said I was likable, I was like "I didn't even tell any jokes." He says ya these ppl don't wanna hear jokes, even though you told that one corny joke, they loved it cuz they were with you. I guess I'll take the compliment. I love when ppl say mean things and don't even realize it. But I was happy and I'll probably try to do the room again. I'll give that set an A-, I really should give it an A, but it was only 5 minutes, and I didn't get paid. I think A's should be on tv, or at least a standing ovstion.
