Hey guys I'm trying to be funny

So did a show near L.A. on Friday. Was fun other than the part where I had to tell jokes. Went up with some friends and hung out before the show. There was a lot of adult beverages at the place. I didn't want to drink much before as it was a late start, 10 PM. Plus I was going up second to last meaning I won't be going up until 11 or so. I didn't want to be drunk or tired so I had a beer or two.

The show was kind of weird because for the most part the audeince were people coming from the party. Most of them were rich kids, too cool to laugh. Mostly a stuck up crowd, not the usual comedy crowd. A lot of them were friends with one of the comics and didn't really even laugh that much for him. They were just plain disrespectful to be honest. There was a bar, but the spot where the comedy was going off was a closed off room. But the people still stayed in the comedy area and talked. I realize not everyone understands how a comedy show works but honestly just go in the other room.

I had to go up after an unplanned intermission. Right before I was about to be brought up the dj goes "hey I gotta change the tape, give me 5 minutes." Ahhh ok. So I tell the crowd to use the restroom and return. Intermissions are never easy, and with this crowd I knew it would be terrible. The guy that brought me up tried to shhh the crowd with no luck. Then another guy came up and attempted to silence them. It worked somewhat but throughout my set I just heard talking and little laughter. I didn't feel miserable, but definately not a great set. Fart and sex jokes would do great on a crowd like that. For a crowd made up of a lot of teachers they didn't care much for intellectual jokes.

The headliner did pretty well. Hes high energy and does a lot of body movements. I've seen him a few times and didn't think he was anything amazing. But I think he did pretty well that night. He is a little older and think he may just be getting back into comedy. He might have been a little rusty. I spoke to him after about comedy and whatnot. He was pretty nice and supportive of me. He said like I've been hearing lately "What are you doing here?" L.A. and New York is where to be. I'm thinking a lot now that New York is an option for next summer. Definately need to quit drinking soon or at least curb it and start really putting my efforts into making comedy into something more than a hobby.
