Why are you doing comedy?

So I've been off work the last 4 days, and I'm not playing poker so that leaves me a lot of time to do nothing. I have no real hobbies, so my days off include searching the internet, mostly facebook and my email. Most of my time is spent on facebook looking at people's pages thinking, "Why the f am I looking at this person's page?" Why am I even "friend's" with this person? I often leave sarcastic comments on people's pages. But I look around at some of these crazies posts. Either just insane, sad, or why are you putting this for the public to see? This may sound cocky, but I just have no clue why some people do comedy. Really why are you wasting everyone's time? So annoying. I want to sleep in a hole when I have a bad set. I can't imagine doing it night in and night out. The worst is seeing comics do the same jokes over and over again that never work. I've done so many jokes just once. Some I'm not even sure if they are good or not, cause I tried them at a shaddy open mic. I've recently retried some jokes, and some went over well. I have so many jokes, but always seem to stay with the same 20 or so minutes. Enough about me, let's stick to the point. Comedy is filled with crazy people.

I did a couple open mics last night. First was comedy store. I spent the afternoon watching football and drinking beer. I took a nap and headed over to the store. There was a good amount of people in the crowd but they weren't a big laughing crowd persay. I worked on some new jokes, and did so so. Nothing great. I did notice I saw the light go on which seemed pretty early, then go off, and then got lit again. My roomie claimed other comics thought I got more time. I doubt I got much more than 3 minutes but who knows.

After that I headed to the Blarney Stone. There was also a good amount of people there. Never an easy crowd. The first few people struggled but I think I did ok for Blarney anways. I recognized the people from last week that said I did good while I was up there. He said something like "I enjoy watching you up there." That was cool. I did a combo of jokes and crowd stuff again. I was actually somewhat enjoying myself and made it to the light.
