Another week, another single show. It's so weird doing only one show. There was some weeks I was going up as many as 6 days, and now only 1. The only good thing is that I'm starting to get some joke ideas. That hadn't happened in a little while.
Last night was another weirdish show. We had some bigger named SD comics that were suppose to show and didn't end up coming. Plus one of the guys that started OBC didn't show up. Also probably 5 of the open mic ppl didn't show. So I had to rework the schedule and give ppl more time. That is never usually a problem, as comics love more time. At the end we ended up going over time anyways.
The crowd was pretty full, and were there to laugh so that is always good. I did pretty ok, tried out some new jokes and reworked stuff that I didn't use for my headline show. I have another bigger, I have to promote show, this Wednesday. I'm trying to have 8 minutes of material that I didn't do for my headlining show. I probably have 4 or so, we'll see.
I did some crowd work, which I wanna try doing more of. I think I'm naturally a funny person, and Improv is what I think is my real calling. Although I've auditioned for a few SD improv groups and they don't feel the same way. Anyways later in the night while I was hanging out one of the comics told me that I shouldn't do crowd work, as in you are not good at it. You should never put down another comic, maybe give him ideas to improve, but I would never say that joke was bad. And not to toot my horn probably 5 ppl told me I did really well, and honestly the dude has had a few good sets lately, but for someone that has been doing it for 4 years + I am light years ahead of him. I take comedy pretty serious and try to work my jokes all the time, trying new things and the such, don't come at me with criticism if you're going to do the same 8 minutes every week. /rant
As I write this I'm listening to Lady Gaga Bad Romance, I really think she is good. Just quite different. Anyways, the girl that picked me up from my show is still in the picture. It's going good I think. She stopped by before my show, and brought the kids she babysits. I think it's kinda pathetic I'm almost as excited to see the kids as her. I really like kids and am excited to have some in the future. Being a dad is probably the only thing I'll be able to do better than making people laugh. Welp time for gym then moving Christmas trees for stuck up SD women. Peace homies.
