Am I getting better?

So had a lot of shows the last few weeks. So crazy the roller coaster that is comedy. I had a month or so where I was writing like crazy, but the past few weeks nothing. Even looking back to the jokes I wrote nothing is that great. Still doing the same jokes. I need to make a change. I booked another trip to Vegas in a few weeks, maybe that will help refocus me. Doubt it, as I was doing well with writing, went to Vegas, now nothing. I think the loss of my friend may have something to do with it.

Anyways. Lot of shows to report. Sunday did the Comedy Store first. It was a small crowd, but I got some rarely used jokes in and got a pretty decent reaction. Hadn't been to Blarney in awhile, but one of my coworkers said he might swing by so I made an exception. It was pretty dead, but I tried to interact with the crowd. It was fun. The coworker actually heckled me a few times, but it was good banter. He had fun, and that's what I was trying to do. He bought me some beers, which is always awkward but hes older and has the money.

Monday was the contest. I worked all day and pretty much packed in my set. I didn't really have anything new and didn't want to do old jokes. I stambled through some stuff I just wrote but nothing was good. I'm just not putting in the work I used to. I imagine drinking has a lot to do with it. I'm always tired, and just want to stay in bed when I'm off. The contest ended up pretty ok. Had fun with the critiques at the end. Had solid zingers.

Last night had a couple of shows. One was a little bit of a drive, but I think I had a solid set. Only one jokes didn't work too well. Heard good reviews from one of the comics who had a lot of people attend the show. I do have a lot of jokes about women. Pretty much all the jokes I do often are about relationships and sex. I think people just like that crap.

Next up was the Comedy Palace. There was a good amount of people there. I was going up last on an already late show. I started going through my "smarter" jokes with not much reaction. I said the f word a few times in a row, and did some sex jokes and ended strong. I hate having to go that route but guess the job is to be funny anyway I can. Kinda funny as I hung out a little bit after. And as we were walking out I see a gal standing outside her car next to mine. I say something to the affect of "don't worry were not going to harm you." She then awkwardly hands a note to my roommate. Being the dick he is he opens it up out front of her. She must have felt weird already, but to see him open the note out front of him was a little much. Turns out as I expected it was her number. I didn't get a great look at her, but if she has that much guts, there's no reason I shouldn't give her a chance. It's just funny, cause I was quite vulgar on stage. Who knows, we'll keep it updated.
