Very slow show at Winston's

So we had the smallest turnout for Winston's since I took over 10 months or so ago. Neither of the headliners brought anyone, by this I mean zero. I knew the feature wasn't going to bring many, but he puts me on enough shows, I just hooked him up as a favor. Every week I have a newer person help promote in exchange for a better spot and more time. Well for the 2nd week in a row that person brought no one. Kinda crazy considering, he used to bring a few people when he first started and was getting 3 minutes. I don't understand some people's logic.

I hosted because the other dude was feeling ill. I tried a joke, which I cleared with a few minorities before. I figured it was ok. I tried it twice, as the people that were there earlier had since left and it was a new "crowd." Anyways the first time it went well, and the second time got awkward head shakes. Not sure I'll keep the joke. Who knows.

There is a new crop of weirdo comics. There was a mexican that said the n word about 20 times. Another dude that was awful but for some reason he thought he crushed. I'd be shocked if there was 1 funny comic to every 10 lunatics in the SD comedy scene.

My set was basically me talking to the 12 people that were there. I went from funny, to mean, to lame, all the above. I was happy overall with how it went. I ended kinda blah, but I couldn't have expected to bring down the roof.

Well I talked to the OBC dude about my disappointment about not being on the show. He basically told me what I already knew that he needed people that could promote. He said if I could bring 20 people he'd put me on. Well no crap. I'd put on 3/4 the comics in SD if they could bring 20 people. I realize his choices, but still feel I should have at least been asked. Esp. the amount of shows I've helped him get on, and never once really asked him to promote.
