Ahh the blog...

Last night turned into a pretty good show. It started off really slow, as it normally does. I somewhat feel bad for the open mic people, but at the end of the day they can promote the show if they wanted an audience.

There was a gal that's kind of new that brought a few people. She opened with complaining that I put her up earlier this week than last. Not a great idea to complain and insult the person booking the show. She was awkward for a couple minutes not even making the friends she brought laugh and got off stage. I then brought up a man in a wheelchair, who swore and complained a lot. Not sure where the jokes were but oh well. After he got off stage, I said, "Ok were gonna keep the show rolling." Not planned, just awkwardly said it. He yelled a little bit, and I apologized. Definately not my intention. I was going to say it takes a lot of courage to come up here and be bald, but bailed on that idea.

Well I wasn't really looking forward to my set, as I'm not real happy with a lot of my jokes. I told my friend to write my set list for me, maybe give me some motivation. I think it worked out well. The set was a combo of jokes and crowd work as it't been the last few times. I really like doing it, but feel it may be affecting my joke writing. Who knows, I can only be funny each time and hope to improve.

Well the title. I started the blog mostly to keep my family in the loop, and I think it will be cool to look back at one day. I figured I'd always be honest and just give the run down of the politics and extra crap that comes with comedy. I recently lost a show because of it. And conflict avoided but it felt I could have lost a friend over it. I don't want things like that to happen, but also don't want to censor the blog. The blog is simply a way to open people's eyes to the crap of comedy. I think it would make a good book someday. I think it's silly I losta show over it, but could understand someone being bothered by my comments. Sucks as I know what he did was not intentional. and he's one of the best people in comedy. I think we smoothed things over. I guess in the future I should at least wait a day or two to think about my comments. Or at least not be so harsh. Who knows....

Hick bar show tonight, hoping to not get punched.
