Monday was the open mic at the Store. I was working and it was pretty dead other than a group of people that were there for this one guy. They pretty much didn't laugh at anyone, including him. When I went up I asked one of the guys what he thought of said comic they came to say, he said "he's much funnier at the office." Nice, that won't be awkward tomorrow. It's nice to have people supporting you, but if they hate comedy, it's probably better to not have them there. I mumbled through some jokes, older and newer but trying to work them into my set. I got some response with some of them which is nice. I have a bigger show at the end of the month and plan to do a different 12 than I did in December.
Tonight I was back working at the Store. We had to come early as the show was sold out in the books. A dude I've had a few awkward encounters with in the past was taping a dvd. He started off really well, then hit somewhat of a lull, and couldn't find a joke that he was really satisfied with to close. Also what was weird is that he kept referring to his set list. Taking it out of his pocket, and putting it back. I don't know how he plans to use that tape. He should have just taped a set list to the speakers or something. Maybe he plans to edit out where he refers to the notes. It wasn't distracting persay, but just unprofessional for someone doing their first taping. Also, someone that has solid tv credits and has been doing comedy for over 7 years. I'm not sure if I could do an hour set without notes but I certainly would try to conceal a set list. Well enough rambling. I went up 2 comics after the guy did over an hour. I wasn't really sure how it was gonna go, but it went pretty well. Some of the people were heading out, but the people there were enjoy themselves and laughing.
One weird things I've saw were two mid 30's couples making out the entire show. What a strange place to make out. One of the couples were asked to take it outside, to where they made out on the bench for awhile. Then he proceeded to pick her up as they made out and crossed the street. Then they made out some more outside his car before getting in only to likely make out some more. Such a strange place to go for foreplay.
