Roller coaster week
Had likely the most productive comedy week in my 3 plus years doing comedy. All while having my relationship with the gf come to an end. It's scary but I know it's for the best. We just arn't compatible. As far as comedy I kept up with doing different sets. It's crazy to think I did the most time, but at the same time made the 2nd least amount of money for the week. Comedy is a crazy game.
Wednesday I did 6 minutes to a pretty dead Winston's open mic crowd. I got a few chuckles, nothing to great but I made Jesse laugh, and that's always a good sign. The contest was somewhat slow, but the crowd did laugh. There were 3 no shows. So we chose to advance all 5 people. Kinda funny that by far the funniest person on the show shouldn't have advanced.
Thursday was the Store. It was rough. I went up 2nd and was doing minutes 46-53 of my sets. A couple things I said, which I still believe in didn't hit very well. I am going to stick with the jokes. I closed with the Depot joke, and had a girl say I was funny. I didn't do awful but it was by far my worst set in a bit at the Store.
Friday was Winston's. Likely one of the worst Friday shows that I can remember. Had a dude that is funny, but expected him to promote somewhat. Also, one of the headliners I expected to promote he did not. Only one of the people attached to the show really brought anyone. I can handle a small crowd but they did not want to laugh at pretty much anything. Jesse and I did the whites vs. crackas bit. It hit moderately ok. I made it through 8 minutes to complete the hour for the week. I would say I have 45 minutes out of that I'd be comfortable doing. I have another 20 or so that I didn't even do. I think I could do a solid 45 minutes, problem is I don't know if I could remember that much material. My jokes are all one or 2 minutes. I don't have long bits like I see all the weekend headliners doing. I think the next task is stretching out my current material.
Saturday was the Store. Pretty slow night. None of us got to open as it was an all gay line up and the L.A. Store didn't want to put us up. Pretty stupid if you ask me. The people on the show were nice. Headliner even invited us to the condo after. I would have gone if I didn't have to work at frigin 8 am. I really hate getting up early. Someone called one of the comics a faggot, and he was very angry. I'm not sure what happened but I know a punch was thrown. The comic was very angered. I just don't understand if you're comfortable in you skin, and except being gay, why would that would hurt you so much. One of the comics say it's like saying the n word, which I disagree. That word has history. While I wouldn't call a gay person the word, and wouldn't want to be around when someone did, but I think people should be happy with whoever they are. If you're that embarrassed you shouldn't talk about having a man eating ice cream out of your butt.
