Kinda in a rut

No real stories to discuss. Been back performing. Last Tuesday I was in the Comedy Palace's comedy competition. I had fun with it. Worked on the new cracka's vs white people bit. The crowd didn't really know how to respond but I think it did fine. Wasn't sure I was going to advance but I really didn't care. When the first name was announced I was pretty sure I wasn't going to advance. Turns out I was the last name called, so that was cool. Wednesday was Winston's. Show was fine. There was a decent amount of people there. Thursday was the Store. I was working so I never know how that's going to go. I went up late and got a decent response. Friday was Winston's. There was a decent crowd. I worked with Jesse on more cracka vs white people material. Saturday I opened the first show. I did ok. Worse than the last couple times but likely better than the first time. I wasn't nervous, just think the crowd was really on board. Sunday was back at the Store. I followed Westland who likely had the best set I've seen a best of person do since I started comedy. He free style rapped something on dolphins, it was amazing. It was the first time in my comedy career I was nervous having to follow someone. I grabbed a friend's hoddie and did my best. I opened with trick daddy and rode the momentum from there. It was a pretty solid set. Monday I took a day off from comedy and basically drank all day. We went to the shelter intending to get one kitten, but ended up with two. Of course the one I like is sick. I have bad luck with animals. I'm hesitant to get close to these ones. It was rough at first because the old cat didn't adjust well to the new kittens. I hear he's taken a liking to them meow. Tuesday I worked at the Store. I got to go up. My set was weird. I think I was still a little hung over and somewhat out of it. Also the host brought me up saying I killed three black men. That was so weird and outlandish it really threw me off. It took me a few minutes to get out of that funk. I had trouble remembering my jokes, even tried an old joke, and it was horrid. I got the light, then they shut the light off. I struggled through the 15 minutes and did fine. Two people approached me after. One said even though I made light on how weird the set was, he said he enjoyed it and thought I looked like I was having fun. Another girl told me the reason many people weren't laughing is there was too many race jokes. I first said I don't do any race jokes, and the reason that was is there were a lot of black comedians on the show and that is a major thing they joke about. Wednesday was Winston's. It was a weird show. The only one that promoted was a 70 year old woman. Her fans were not pleased to be there and their lack of laughter made that apparent. She ended up advancing, then told me she won't be around for the next round. Made no sense to enter, but whatever. My room mate didn't advance and was pretty bummed. I don't care why people care about advancing in contests. All that matters is the finals. The other stuff doesn't matter. After that I went to Quality Social. I took it as a good time. I was asked to do 20 minutes which is kinda a long time in a bar environment. I was a little drunk and just had fun with it. I made light of how long it was going. Had a dude talk to me and buy me a drink after. That's always a nice feeling even if it just is from a dude. Thursday was the Store. I had to follow Erik again. He did well, but not quite as well. I plowed through my set. It was decent, nothing special. Friday was Winston's. It was pretty dead. The two features I expected to promote brought no one. I had fun with my set. Did some whacky sex jokes, and got a decent response. Saturday was working at the Store. The headliner had a rough time during the first show. I heard she kinda bombed the two shows on Friday too. The last show she did well. She does a lot of impressions, but it doesn't really translate into comedy. It's not particularly funny, but she is very talented. She's also sweet, and you want to root for her. I was surprised how cut throat the audience treated her.
