Winston's empty and full...

Well didn't have any weekday shows for the first time in awhile. Winston's was the most dead I've ever seen it. It was a polar opposite of last week. There was no one there, but they were all listening. It would have been nice if they all sat together in the front. That way I could at least hear or see laughs. I voiced out some new jokes, some eh, some are good ideas but no real joke in it. We hung out for a little bit after and went home, as I started work at 4 frickin AM that day.

Last night was a special Winston's show. I wasn't sure how the turn out would be. When I got there it was pretty dead. I was expecting it to stay that way. But by the time the show started there was over 100 people. I brought a date, first date, who claimed she rarely laughs. Great idea Jeff.... Even on the meal before she didn't laugh much. I don't laugh often so I can't really complain. But it's weird, I always make girls laugh. That's all I have.. She left after my set, so who knows what that means. But can I really date someone that doesn't laugh?

Anyways, the set was eh. Went up second. Started off good. Then seemed a bunch of people walked in and were talking. Not sure if it was cause the jokes were subpar or they were saying their hello's. After a slight lull I got into my "dirty" jokes and ended pretty strong. I had the roomie do the protegie thing. It was probably a bad idea to try as they were a bar crowd, and it went over most of their heads.

I felt decent about the set. It's tough to gauge at Winston's as it's not made for comedy. The laughs don't resinate to the stage. I knew I had to go dirty, but wanted to win them over with some smart stuff. I just need to realize that bar crowds want dick jokes. My job is to be funny in every environment, gotta swallow the pride and do it. I wasn't expecting much when I got offstage but I got at least 10 people to say I did well. One black guy said I was a natural, and had a look for comedy.. Even some gals, which is cool. I went to the standard let me add you on facebook. She was pretty, but a little stuck up. Not sure if it was the sauce, but she was fiesty. I'll add her, see if anything comes from it. No reason to not pursue all angles.

I chatted with one of the gals on the show. She is dang pretty. She's on the radio and has the ability to bring a good amount of people. She was pretty drunk which was amusing, but she had some nice words.
