Great week so far
Sunday was my biggest night of comedy so far. I did 4 shows. Did the open mic at the Madhouse (3 min), smallish but good crowd. Did a rant about how much my gf(now ex gf)hates me that got a good response. Even got a weird sigh. Next I went up 3rd at ACC (10 min). It was kinda a weird set. The lights are so bright. And as I was doing my set I could hear a couple of black ladies talking in the front. I couldn't see them and assumed they were just ordering. Finally I looked over and they were just reading the menu really loud. I made a comment about them not at a Tyler Perry film. They laughed and the rest of the set went pretty well. The owner talked to me a little before I left about emailing him to host some shows. He was somewhat vague and I'm not sure whether or not I want to email him. I chatted with a dude that worked there, and he said it may or may not be a good opportunity if I don't care about money.
After that I did a set at the Palace (10 min). It was a small crowd but one of the best Palace sets I'd ever had. I wanted to do crowd work but the comic after me asked if I was gonna do jokes or crowd work, so I assumed he wanted me to stick to jokes. I mixed him some crowd work but stuck to my jokes. Finally I closed out the show at the Store (10 min). I followed a black comic that always does a jokes about being good at hide and seek. I reversed it to say I was good in Alaska. They crowd surprisingly liked it. My set went well from there. My roomie who has been esp. dicky lately, said something to the effect it had to do with my intro. A girl yesterday said I did well, and the manager even let me run the light. It was a really fun set.
Overall I did 33 minutes of different jokes and all but one or two hit pretty well. Last night I did the Store open mic (7 min). It was a small crowd but they were there to laugh. The same host gave me a condescending intro about being the funniest person there. I pretty much shit on it and the rest of the show. I did 7 different minutes, and all of that hit decently. So far I've done 40 different minutes this week. I have another 7 on Thursday and 8 at Winston's. For a total of 55 minutes. If I open one of the Store shows on Saturday I will have done over an hour this week. That's really cool to me. I will do a different 15 in the first two shows, but will reuse jokes if I open the Store show. Great week overall and it's only Tuesday.
