Well Thursday was my monthly Comedy Store show. There was a good turnout. I had maybe 11 or 12 people show up. Pretty depressing, but people just arn't supportive. The show started off kind of rough, first couple people had a rough time. The 3rd person did pretty well, the 4th ok, and the 5 did solid. Then me. Well I was thrown off right from the start from a drunk woman yelling something. I still don't know what it is and likely should have ignored it, but I've never been good with that. We bantered back and forth and I felt things getting mean. I enjoy doing crowd work when it's upbeat and positive. This was pretty terrible. Highlights were saying I don't go to her work at Arby's. Also what appeared to be her daughter yelled I was getting pity laughs, later in the set I said I'd have sex with her, but it would be pity sex. I actually thought I was losing the crowd, and asked, but all the people to the right said they hated her. It was a rollercoaster, and didn't feel great about it, but it seemed like it went better than I felt up there. Heard good things from other comics, who knows if they were being truthful. Some people that came said, it was ok.
Kinda funny, they eventually threw the lady out. I felt bad for the people she came with but why would they bring her knowing she was drunk and a bitch. It was also dumb of the workers to sit her in the front. What I learned to be the son apologized to me after which was kinda funny. I also had some girls want to take pictures with some of the comedians. That was cool. I chatted with one of them and she acted like she wanted to talk further. We exchanged facebook info. I sent her a message with my number, no response. Girls are weird. Oh well.
Friday was Winston's. There was a decent amount of people. They were attentive and receptive for most of the show. Once the person they came to see, they lost some attention. I can't blame them, it's a long show. I should have put myself up earlier. My jokes went eh, I stumbled a little bit. The headliner I expected to bring people didn't really promote much. I somewhat have to blame the fact we didn't have a poster made until the week of the show. He also someone ate shit. He's surely not a headliner, but he was awkward and stumbled a lot. One of the worst headliners I've seen us book. Live and learn.
