Chatting and such

Sunday I was at the Comedy Palace. I was booked as the headliner, which doesn't mean much. I just went up last and did the most time. The crowd was kind of weird, typical palace crowd. Watched some of the comics do well, some did meh. I asked for half the comics to be on the show, so that was fun. I went up with no real plan. My first joke went pretty ok, then I screwed up my second job. After that I chatted with a couple of people in the front row. I felt it went pretty well. Almost every line I said got a decent response from the audience. I slipped in a few jokes as well. It was cool to do that much crowd work, totally sober. I had a good time. I took shots at the people for most of my set. I went up to them and made sure we were cool. They said they enjoyed it, and wanted me to tell the others they enjoyed the mas well. Monday was the Store open mic. Like I've said, it's become one of my favorite nights. I tried a few new jokes, and slipped in some crowd work. I was happy with it. Had a guy approach me after about doing a show in Orange County. I had to decline as it's a Friday, and he could only pay me $10. I told him if he had something else open let me now. He said he was working on getting an L.A. show, and I said I'd be down for that. Also had an audience member give me a joke idea, but started the sentence with, "you were alright, but you should say..." Tuesday was the Store. I wasn't sure I was going to do a set, but ended up doing 6. Was suppose to do 7, but the host ran the light to open, then did another 3 minutes between the first comic. That led to the manager saying that the rest of us had to cut our sets short a minute. I basically just had fun with the fact we were playing music, than played with the crowd woooing. And before I even got into my first joke, I already got the light. I was satisfied with my set. The booker said he enjoyed it, and wished I had more time. The headliner was great, and light years ahead of me.
