Another productive comedy week

Sunday was the Store. My set was pretty decent. I kept stumbling over my words, but I got through it. Had a few comics compliment my set. Mike even said I made him laugh and thought I was a good hire. Monday I was in a comedy competition at the Madhouse. I drank a little bit during the day. I followed a guy that sang a song about shitting in his pants. I ripped on him a little bit and one of his equally terrible comedy friends yelled from the back, "Fuck you Jeff." I didn't know at the time who it was until my roommate told me later. I basically just did crowd work the whole time. I wasn't sure whether or not I'd advance, and to be honest I didn't really care. Tuesday was back at the Store, or so I thought. The show ended up getting cancelled after we were there for a half hour. I texted a few people and secured a spot at the Palace after their contest. I basically just voiced out some new jokes, and got some decent responses. I wasn't expecting much as the crowd was small but I got some decent laughs from the small crowd. Wednesday was hosting Winston's. I tried a few jokes in between, most of which got no response. I know better than to try jokes in between comics. The contest was decent. Thursday was back to working at the Store. I went up forth. I enjoyed my set. Messed around with some jokes. Friday was Winston's. Wasn't sure there would be many people there but ended up being a decent turn out. My set started off pretty good but I couldn't get a solid finish as hard as I tried to. Saturday I got to open the first Store show. I had a feeling I would open one of them. The crowd was almost sold out. My nerves have gone down about opening. I try not to think about it. I started off pretty slow, but picked up steam nicely. The headliner said he enjoyed my set. He asked me how long I'd been doing it and when I said 3 and half years he said he figured Id been doing it at least 5 years. Apparently he didn't watch my set according to my roommate. But he told me again when I left that he liked it. Whether or not he watched it, he has no reason to say that. He even said "I'm not trying to jerk you off." To which I laughed and said, I have no pull around here. Last time he ran the light by 50 minutes, last night he only ran it by 20. Not too shabby.
