Moving along

Sunday at the Store was slow, but more importantly the crowd did not want to laugh, like at all. It was weird, I went up 3rd cause 2 people were late. After I saw the first 2 comics bomb kinda hard, I knew I didn't want to do a normal set. I asked one of the other comics if he'd come on stage and let us try to raffle him off. I brought him up, the gag went fine, even though he tried to basically sabotage it by not speaking. Not sure why in his comedic brain he found this to be a good idea. It was really annoying. The crowd laughed a little bit, and someone told me I was their favorite. Monday was the Store open mic. I thought it may get cancelled again as there was 2 people in the crowd at 755 but a group came in to support one guy. They let the comics do 4 minutes but stopped the list at 20 comics, which ended up being 21. My set was fun. Did some jokes, and attempts to speak to the crowd with no response. Either way my set was fun as always on Mondays. Tuesday I did a charity show in P.B. There was a good amount of people there. I started off pretty strong, but lost them somewhere in the middle. I think a lot of people started to enter the bar and talking. It was pretty distracting. I got through my 20 minutes and watched Jesse. He struggled with all the people talking as well, and bailed early. Wednesday was Winston's contest. There was a decent crowd, 20 or so people. We had 5 black comics, one mexican, one iraqi?, and one half white comic. Pretty crazy. I didn't plan it that way just happened. Everyone did pretty ok. It was between 5 people, and judges vote made a difference. After Winston's I cruised over to Bar 11. Jesse and I went up together. We only got 5 minutes and it went by extremely fast. I can't remember a set every seeming so fast. Even when I was doing 3 minutes I'd still find myself glancing over at the light. It was a lot of fun and I think we should start trying that a little more often.
