Somewhat busy

SO I had the standard Sunday with Store and Blarney. I didn't make the list at the store, but I texted the old OBC dude and he texted the host. The host at first forgot to put my name down but he told me when he saw me he'd get me up. It was one of the best open mic crowds in awhile. Everyone was killing. The host tried to get me a few extra minutes but they had to put on another person. He brought me up as the best comedian he'd ever seen.. I of course talked about the pressure. I did all new jokes, most I thought of that day, mostly one liners. One went ok, the others not so much. I changed one up to make it salvagable and solid. My set went well, but it's tough to gauge with such a easy crowd.

Blarney was pretty slow, mostly comics. I was sticking to the jokes, which were meh. Then I got heckled by an older comic in the front. I tore into him a bit, and the crowd somewhat took his side. I also chatted with some girls who tried to heckle too. They talked to me after saying it's all in good fun. I'm still not sure why the old guy heckled me. The host said I did good so that's fine. I'm trying to stick to jokes. I left soon after, but I heard there was a comic that punched another comic in the face outside. I guess the new comic was talking loudly, and people kept telling him to keep it down. One thing led to another, and he got a fist full of comedy awakening.

Monday was the contest. It was a small crowd at first but it really filled out nicely. I did what ended up being 20 minutes of basically all new jokes before the contest started. I was bantering with the host a bit, and we were telling "you might be a redcoat" jokes. Some went ok. I was just skimming through my notebook trying out things I've written down. I got some good stuff out of it, which is cool.

Tuesday I got a call to host the open mic at the Comedy Palace. Who knows how many people he asked before me, but I was happy he even thought of me. Even though I hate that place, esp. hosting, I accepted. I got there and one of the comics that fills in hosting sometimes was holding the list and checking ID's. I didn't know if the dude double booked hosts. Turns out the comic was just doing the id thing for "fun." That show is so long and there are so many comics I never see anywhere else. There was basically 10 audience members, most were gone before the show ended. There was one comic that pops in there with the other host and is quite pompous. He comes up to me and says, "Did the host ask you to fill in for him?" Really, like I just showed up and decided to host. Granted I know that's happened before, but honestly he has such an ego it's pathetic. He basically shit on the crowd for a bit like he always does, than does his same hacky jokes. I can stand ego's. I had my roommate host so of it so he could bring me up as a comic. My set went decent enough.
