What the f word.

Most stressful Winston's show yet. First off we had 35 comedians scheduled. Then the dude that I run the show with added about 5 more people. The show is already full now I have to figure out a way to find 30 more minutes to add to the show. It was pretty rediculous. So we had to cancel the lighting round. The old douche that comes to OBC yelled at me. "You have to be fucking kidding me, you can't give 7 fucking people 1 fucking minute each, that's bull shit." I told him to not come back. He then proceeded to give me angry looks and talk to all the other comics.

There was also a comic that tried to get on the show a few weeks ago. He's done shows throughout the US. Which to be honest doesn't matter to me. I need people that will bring audience members. I told him I'd give him time as long as he reminds me during the week. He never did. He called me at like 6:30 asking what time our 6 PM show starts. I told him we didn't have time for him, and that he never emailed me. He tried to tell me he did, but I'm really good at checking emails etc. Anyways I say goodbye. He then calls me 3 times. I don't answer, so 2 hours later he shows up at the show. I'm already stressed out, and now I have to deal with this dude. He's telling me how the guy that ran OBC before had a problem with me. I told him I have no problem with him, please leave me alone sir.

Then I go on stage and basically struggle to entertain some loud douches. I did half decent. I wanted to kill as a few of my friends who haven't seen me were there and I would have liked to impress them. Anyways we close out the show and start paying people. I paid the headliner 75$, which I think is more than enough for 25 minutes. He came up to me after and said I heard other people got 100$. I worked really hard, brought some people, don't you think I've earned the 100$. So I gave him another 25$. He took it. Awesome move.
