Weird week
Sunday at the Store was decent. Went up early, was a slow night. The crowd was less supportive than the usual Sunday crowd. With football starting up I think the shows will be slower.
Monday was the contest at the Madhouse. It was a pretty stacked line up so I wasn't sure whether or not I'd advance. I lucked out and went up 9th. My set was pretty decent. I should have done a cleaner set as the person that brought most of thecrowd does all clean and is a Christian. He advanced, and I will adjust for the finals. I got through and 3 comics who usually do well, 2 of which I find very funny, did not advance. I have to take some pride in that.
Tuesday I worked at the Store. It was one of the most annoying shows I've worked at in awhile. The show was supposed to start at 8, but the booker convinced management to start at 830. The host was wasted, and we had to tell him to leave. Then there was a wave of horrible comics. All thinking they were better than the previous, and all bombing. There were a few single fat ladies that come to every Rick Martinez show. Not sure they think he's gonna bang them, or if he has. He's completely a promoter and such an awful comic, but crowds eat it up. It's sickening.
Wednesday was Winston's then the Store. There were a few people at Winston's. Everyone did ok. I headed over to the Store after having a few drinks. Before my set I mentioned to a comic "friend" that I said on the podcast that he was funny on stage and not so much off stage. He flipped. Threatening to fight me. So unrealistic. Talking about how he takes the craft seriously, when he does it once a month. Some people have no clue. It was so akward. Having talked to him since, and really have no desire to. My set was ok, just messed around. It was a big crowd but by the time I got up, the crowd was pretty dead. It was a struggle to get laughs but I did ok.
Thursday was back to the Store. It was the smallest crowd for a Thursday that I can remember. They weren't easy but they did laugh at good jokes, and awknowledgement of bad jokes. I felt fine about my set.
