Staying busy

Wednesday was Winston's and a struggle to finally get to Eleven. Winston's had a decent amount of people. 10-12. Not bad for a Wednesday. I asked the coproducer to work on making a small handbill to pass out during the street fair that goes on near Winston's before the show. Well see if he gets those done before the contest is over. Nothing too exciting to report. After Winston's, I convinced my girlfriend to allow me to go to Eleven. I went up with Jesse and we basically just ripped on a few of the comics. It was playful and fun. I got a little drunk, and the lady wasn't pleased with me.

Next night was the Comedy Store. I've been working on a cd, so I tried a lot of jokes I seldom do, and didn't have on tape. I have so many jokes but they're all so short. I've tried hundreds of jokes, but I have basically 15 minutes or so that I do for the most part. I want to try to expand on the jokes I have instead of making all new jokes. I comprised a cd of basically 60 jokes, but it's on 50 minutes. My set was meh at best.

Friday was Winston's. I didn't do a set, just banter in between. There was a small crowd from the start and a decent amount of people filtered in for the headliner around 815. There were 3 or 4 comics that did well, and the 2 headliners had a tough time. The girl is still new, and isn't a comedian persay, more of a slightly attractive girl, that discusses sex and has a lot of friends. She mentioned on more than one occasion how it was the first time she bombed. Well it's only your third or fourth show and it's always been in front of your friends. Either way. She and the other headliner was nervous. The second headliner has been a staple of OBC for the past 4 years and was a huge pain in the ass when I started running the show. He has backed off a lot and has gotten better spots. On occasion he can be very funny, this was not the case. It was kinda watching my grandpa on stage and it was tough to see him struggle.

Saturday I worked at the Store. There were some decent comics. First guy was gay, second guy I have seen before and find quite funny, and the headliner was a tiny asian lady who was meh, typical L.A. headliner. All 3 did basically the same exact set for both shows. The second feature is an L.A. guy. I enjoyed a lot of his jokes, many are a lot different than what most comics are doing. I watched one black couple hate basically everything he said. He is somewhat edgy, and some people are morons and don't get the "joke." A lot of his jokes are someone thinkers and just different.
