Grrrrr..

Couple of shows. First Winston's. I need to figure out someway to make the end of the show a success. I knew going into the show it was going to be rough. We had an L.A. comic headline the show. These guys are going to bring no one. I had a few local people feature on the show, most brought barely anyone. I can't be upset with people, promoting sucks. I just need to figure out a way to get an audience in there. The show clearly needs to be shortened, but the manager wants to keep it 3 hours and that's how it's going to be. I may do what they used to do, say the show starts at 6, but really start at 630. Problem is we have so many comics, most of them pretty solid. I don't know what the answer is, it's all trial and error I guess. Had to deal with the comic I dealt with a few months back. Basically dude has a lot of credits, he is blind, feels he has the right to talk down to me and is entitled to time. I basically told him I felt he was trying to take advantage of our show, and he started yelling at me over the phone. I first asked him if he was 7, then told him he was never welcomed back to our club and wished him luck. I don't need negativity, I have enough stress with the show.

My set was lame, I can't even try jokes with a crowd that is just staring at you. I did a little crowd work but overall it was nothing to brag about. I did a newer joke that worked, so I'll take it as something. Earlier in the day the dude I run the show with told me some dude was stopping by. I kind of lost it and went off on him (in a nice way) via text. He is trying to get in at one of the comedy clubs and feels the need to do favors for these guys. Well no one is doing favors for me. People take our show for granted, they feel "hey I'm so funny, put me on I will improve your show." Wel I'm sorry we have enough funny people on our show. I'd take our 5 best people against bascially any 5 SD comics. As much as Winston's is tough we've all become better comics from it. Ok I'm rambling. Pretty much there are so many amazing San Diego comics, and most of them are not getting the prime stage time.

Well I did my first L.A. show. I almost didn't go, as I was expecting a girl I used to date that lives close to L.A. to go and bring some people. She messaged me saying that 10$ was a litle too pricey for her unemployed life. Awesome. I'm not even worth 10$. What the f word is wrong with you. I understand money is tight, but really you can't splurge and drop 30$ to support someones dreams, f u. Anyways I get there and the guy that booked me wasn't there. Kind of weird, he actually never showed up. I've never met him, nor has he ever seen me perform. I see the place and watch the show, and I learn quickly the show is basically an open mic. The spot was pretty spread out, but when I was hanging in the green room the laughs seemed pretty loud. I had a tough spot as I went up after a lady that brought a lot of people. My buddy had a really good set, I was proud. I get up there and struggled through the first couple minutes. I was told I was going to get 7 minutes. I dug a little hole for myself as the crowd hated me, but I started getting a little momentum, and they lit me. UMMMMMM ok I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO LA WITH 4 OTHER PEOPLE WHO PAID 10 BUCKS TO SEE 6 OTHER SHITTY FUCKING COMICS AND YOURE GOING TO GIVE ME 5 MINUTES. Fucking sweet. I was pissed. I'm still kind of upset. Don't fucking tell me I'm going to get 7 and light me at 4 esp. when I'm doing well. I didn't ask the dude why he lit me, it will still be a mystery. I really felt like I did bad, but one of my buddies that came said I did pretty ok. He's an honest dude so I'll take his word. Anyways, I texted the dude the set me up with the spot and he didn't even respond. If I don't hear from him in the next few days I'm going to be real pissed. If he fucked me and I dragged 4 people to L.A. so he can gain an extra 40$ I will lose a lot of faith in humanity.
