Comedy Store madness

Well I've been at the Comedy Store the last few nights, got up twice. Sunday was a pretty packed house, but by the time I got up they were slightly drained. Also when I opened with hating my job, someone yelled at least you have a job. This threw me off as I've been trying to tape. Still don't have anything I'm really proud of. I think I can get a decent 6 minutes if I chop up a recent Comedy Store set. I still have a few more chances to tape, but I doubt I'll get anything by Jan 27.

Monday was my first day of work, and there was the open mic going on. There was a good amount of people there due to the holiday and one girl that brought most of the people. I've tried to book her at Winston's but she ignored by message. I refuse to bug her. She's somewhat attractive, but most of her friends are douchey. They laughed a bunch at her but didn't give much attention to anyone else. Once again kind of a weird set. Tried a new joke, and that did got a good response. Still can't get the same reaction from 2 new jokes that really did well the first time I tried them. Kind of annoying. There were a few first timers. One was a girl, somewhat attractive, who opened with "I didn't plan to come up tonight, hopefully none of you can see my panties." A black guy did say he really enjoyed me, which is always cool to hear.

Tonight I was working at the Store again. Didn't get to go up but did get to watch some undeserving comics go up. It was an L.A. produced show, from the same guy that put my on the Palace show a few weeks back. That was the first time I saw him in person. I didn't approach him, nor did he talk to me. He likely had no idea who I was. Either way, I basically just watched the show and picked up some glasses. The worst part is seating people at the start. It's just awkward having to tell people where to sit, and half the time they move anyways. The crowd was nice enough tonight but I can imagine on the weekends, it could be annoying.
