Wow, I thought they said they had an "Open Mic" Night?
Doesn't sound to "Open" to me.
I understand, you have a pretty rough job, I mean I couldn't do what you do, sitting there listening to all those guys every week, and you HAVE to be there, You HAVE to listen to that Crap EVERY WEEK! I guess I can see how you might develop an attitude after a while. Like I said, I couldn't do it.
I'll take your 3 minutes, but like I said before I am only interested in doing 2 nights at Winston's. If all you want is 3 minutes of my time. Great, that's less I have to worry about.
Have a good day, see you Friday,

I responded... After insulting our show, I think it would be best if you did not attend Friday. Good luck in the future.

My I've grown
Did a couple of shows last night. Had my first show downtown. It's a show that is put on by two dudes I befriended when I started comedy. I did their first show back in December, and was finally welcomed back this month. Well it was actually last month but I gave up my spot so another comic had a chance to perform before she left the state. I can't honestly say I was surprised it took them so long to put me back on, but I also can't say I don't understand why they didn't. Comedy is a business, and for the most part there's no friendships in business. I can't bring a lot of people, and at the end of the day there's a lot of funny people but few good promoters.
Let me start by saying I got about 4 hours of sleep Saturday night, as I stayed up til 5 am playing poker and had to work at 9. Had one of my best weeks of poker in awhile. Worked all day, went to the gym, and headed to the show. Anyways I notice I'm going up 2nd, basically first as the promoters rotate going first every other month. Can't say I was shocked, as I told someone I figured they'd put me 2nd due to my lack of promoting. At first I took it as a slap, but then I thought who cares where I go up, I'm a nobody drop the ego. I went up there and did some jokes, a lot of newer stuff and did well. Some jokes just popped up while I was on stage. The lights were way too bright for my liking but it was a nice change to do jokes. I was really comfortable and think my timing and flow was good. I'm hoping to get my hands on the tape. A lot of people told me I did well, which is a good thing.
After that I headed over to the Blarney Stone. There was actually a good amount of people there for Blarney anyways. I basically walked in the door and was told I was next. That was a little weird as I'm used to at least sitting down and settling in a bit. I think this made things a little tougher. I didn't even take the mic out of the stand, and just talking to this table to the right of the stage. I was happy with how it went. I had a few lulls, but think overall it flowed well. I have no clue how long I do up there, and should prolly start timing it. I just go until I speak to the people I want, there shuffle off stage. I'd imagine it's around 7 to 9 minutes but really can't be sure. I hung out for awhile after. I usually leave soon after but my friend was on last and figured I'd stick around. I was pretty tired considering the lack of sleep.
Just want to talk about ego's for a moment. The fact I was somewhat angered I was up 2nd was purely ego. There's really no reason for me to have an ego as I have no credits or agents knocking at my door. I may have also been angered as I try to mix friendship and business, and to be honest I have been working on seperating the two. I try to put my friends on winston's every week, but don't give them the best spots. I'm not above going first or second or dead last, who cares it's a spot and it's my job to be funny whenever I go up. I think if I can just carry a more positive attitude good things will follow.
Got an email from a dude I met Friday at Winston's. I'm not sure I remember who he is as I give my email to a lot of folks to try to give them a chance to perform. I check my email today and see a long email from him talking about how he'd like 10 minutes. Saying how at first he wanted 15 but hadn't gone on stage for 12 years so wanted to take it slow. He also talked about how he wanted to be brought on stage, and didn't like how we said everyone was funny last week. It's just insane the false thought of entitlement these lunatic comics have. Here's the email.
Hi, my name is (removed), I talked to you last Friday night about getting in the Line up for next week?
You told me to e-mail you, so I am e-mailing you.
I was originally looking for a 15 minute set, but I will settle for 10 minutes to start.
I have about a half hours worth of material ready to go, but this is my first time on stage in 12 years. 12 years ago I used to improv at Sizzler's in Hawaii for 2 to 3 hours straight. I was the ONLY guy performing, so that's the way it was. But that was 12 years ago.
I am not interested in becoming a regular there at Winston's, my original plan was to just do 2 nights and I am off to other venues. I wanted to do Winston's for my 2nd Debut location because if I mess up no one is really going to notice. :)
I hope to impress you enough in my first 10 minute set that you might let me Headline the following week with a 15 minute to a half hour set. That's my plan, I hope we can work something out.
Unlike other Comedians I don't have a bunch of my material on a Website, maybe later I will do something like that, but right now the only thing I want to do is get back up on Stage and start doing it again, get the feel for it again, then I will worry about Promoting myself later.
If you DO decide to allow me to perform at Winston's I would just like to request that in my introduction if you could please instruct the MC to just introduce me as "Please Welcome Sua" that's it. Not- "one of the Funniest guys in San Diego" (Like he announced half the people there last week including one guy who it was his first night on stage. :)
I am trying to play it very low key because I am a little Nervous getting back on Stage after 12 years. But I feel confident that once I get up there and get back in the groove I feel sure I will impress you. I just need the stage time to do it.
Thanks for Considering me,
Hope to see you next Friday,

Fun Winston's show
So there wasn't much of a turnout last night. One of the promoters I put on I imagine brought no one, and I gace him 3 minutes. He was shocked I lit him early but he wasn't doing that great and brought 0 people. I can understand the struggles of promoting, but I saw him outside another comedy spot taking down names and emails for a show he's doing later this month. So if you're not funny, nor bring anyone, sorry you're time will be shortened. The other promoter brought a few people, but it was his first time at Winston's and needs a little work.
The headliners both kinda lagged on promoting, so it was a smallish crowd. I think were gonna get lagging crowds through the next month until I recruit a new wave of comics. I've pretty much used all the headline worthly comics and gave everyone a chance to promote. There's so many shows it's tough to have people focus on promoting ours.
I put my buddy up as the first headliner, but he gave me a guilt trip. He said later he was kidding but I'm not sure he was. I think he would have done better first as the lady that headlined has a lot of energy, and her jokes arre polished as she's been doing them a long time. We tried to play his video after but experienced a little technical difficulties which was kinda poopy.
A dude showed up and thought he was on the regular list while he was actually on the lightning round. He goes "well I wouldn't have come if I wasn't on the show." Not sure what would be the point of saying that. Anyways, my set went pretty good. I was trying a lot of new jokes, and I think a lot of them went well. I was happy wih my timing and flow. Had a few people tell me I was funny after, so that's a plus. We hung out with a bunch of comics after and that was a lot of fun. There were dogs there. I think I'm the same way with dogs as some people are with kids. I like hanging out with dogs but dont think I'd wanna deal with them on a day to day basis.

Couple Palace pop ins
Well I've been playing a lot of poker in the last week. Been going really well actually, been getting kinda unlucky in some big pots. Kept my cool for the most part, but did freak out and lost a little bit. Refocused and turned in a profit everyday. Have been off from the depot since last Friday and I couldn't be more relaxed. 40 hours at that place is just too much with everything else I'm balancing. And the $70 a day I make working there isn't worth the stares and attitude I get from customers.
The last couple nights I went over to the Comedy Palace mostly to get out of the house and interact with humans. The main reason I can't play poker full time is that it's a depressing live style. Winning and losing hundreds of dollars in minutes can take a toll on someone. It's sad to just stare at a screen and sit in bed or on the couch all day. Makes me feel like a waste. So I went to the Palace Monday during the comedy competetion. I was enjoying hanging out and the owner comes up to me and says, "You're still in the competition right Jeff?" I say "No, thanks for reminding me." Jokingly, but some comics take everything so serious. He just walks away, returns 2 minutes later and says he's putting me up. Cool. A small part of me thought there was a chance I could go up as there is only 6 people in each round, which makes it tough for the show to run at least 90 minutes. I'm not real sure why they have so few people in each 2nd round. Clearly trying to milk the contest as long as possible, but 6 people is kind of a joke when 4 advance. 8 would be reasonable, but 10 in the first and 6 in the 2nd makes no sense other than financial reasons. Anyways I'm happy I got up. My set went ok, was kind of messing around and just winging it. I think it went decent for performing for a tired, comedy competition crowd. I did a little crowd work, it's tough there as it's so bright.
The next night I went back to the Palace for open mic night. My friend is the host and he was kind enough to put me on the list. I messed around a little more, tried some jokes. But they were kinda dumb, and laughed more when people messed up then actual set up jokes. Oh well. Dat Phan was there hanging out, I guess he never even went on stage. I'm not sure why he would hang out other than to get people to talk to him. I guess he went to the Dreamstreet show last Friday and recruited people to help him promote his Palace show. Slight fall from grace, but he did achieve what we're all struggling for so can't knock the guy.
After the Palace I went to a slight dive bar that has an open mic with music and comedy. It's slightly unstructed as they don't light people, so some musicians do like 20 minutes. It's tough to wrangle the crowd back in to listen to jokes. I was 7th on the list and by 1045, I hadn't even gone up. 0 point 0 percent of the crowd was listening. Normally I'd at least attempt, but I'd get nothing out of it other than sadness. I took my name off the list and headed home. The only reason I went them was to meet my friend who I hadn't seen in awhile and she flaked. Actually she sent my call right to voicemail. Pretty lame considering I never call people. I got some text this am about how she feel asleep...blah blah. Why are women in this town so lame?

Hard to be funny when you're kinda sad...
Well had a couple mini shows last night. First 3 minutes at the Comedy Store. There was literally 0 audience members when the show started. I was scheduled to go 6th. Well first guy went, then the next 3 people weren't even there. Finally a couple people showed up, one of the buds went up then me. There was prolly 12 people in the crowd at this point. I called out one of the comics that wasn't there then worked on some new jokes. 3 were completely new. I was a little uncomfortable and they were shakey upon delievery. They didn't do real well, but I think there is something there.
Then I went to the gym, and finally Blarney. It's crazy how crappy of a room this is, but how much I enjoy doing it. Last night was kind of rough as there was very few people sitting down. Usually there's at least 2 or 3 audience tables. But there was only one, and my friend went up before me and kind of already spoke to them. There was one drunk dude, but there's only so much you can do with him. I was trying an awkward character. It went decent overall. Not the overall consistent laughs I've been getting in past weeks, but decent overall.
I left slightly after my set. I did send out 4 emails to clubs in Seattle for my friend and I. I really want to start getting out there and telling jokes to bigger shows. I might as well try to book myself. Also, my honesty in the blog has cost me my first show. I always kinda suspected that it might stop me from being on shows, but I actually got taken off a show because of what I've said in the blog. I don't agree with the reasoning, esp. considering I'm just being honest and nothing I said was out of line. If the booker spoke to anyone that has done the show, and got an honest answer it would be exactly what I said. But ass kissing and being fake is crutial to making it in comedy. I'm not changing the blog, or who I am.
As far as the title, looks like life with the lady are done. I literally have no idea what happened. Usually I have a feeling or understanding but this one is a total mystery. I mean we started off hitting it off, then she got busy with her birthday and what not which is fine, but now she's not returning my calls. It's really strange, and after a week or so I may ask why. Only thing I can guess is she took some of my comments seriously, and may think I'm a creeper or what not. I'm quite far from that. Who knows, she prolly assumes I'm poor and a loser as I dress like a bumb and work at home depot. Standard San Diego shallow.

What Winston's without controversy
So we had a little drama before the show. I've been doing a comedy show once a month or so at a bar near Winston's. It's always kinda rough, but it's stage time and I enjoy the challenge. Well I see on Facebook they are putting on a show last night, in direct competition with our show. I mean they didn't steal any comics from our show, or take any of our potention audience members, but it's just direspectful and not how things should be done. I guess it was a last minute one time thing, but either way it didn't sit well with me or the guy I run Winston's with. One of the most awkward comedians in the San Diego scene was on the other show. He was at Winston's first and came up to me telling me he would have to leave at 7. He knew he wouldn't be on by then, and I kind of got the vibe he was trying to brag or something. I just said you won't be on by then and crossed out his name.
I talk about it every week, but god there's so many weird comics. It's like you have to have no sense of reality to be a comic. It's not even having ego's or being awkward. Most of them have no clue how to hold a conversation. Don't get me wrong I'm not the life of the party, but I can hold a conversation. I don't know if people feel intimidated by me (not saying they should or think they are) but so many have all this energy on stage and off they are trapped in a shell. I am in no way a happy man, but I can at least fake it somewhat and chat with folks.
My set was meh. I've been writing a lot of new jokes that I am happy with. The crowd was kind of tight and dumb. This seems to be a lot of crowds but this one in particular was terrible. I kept fighting and managed to do at least 8 minutes. I had some friends at the show, so felt a little added pressure. I don't think they laughed much, and they didn't say anything other than, "it was tough." I wish people would lie to me at least. But it's tough when I can see their faces and can hear their laughs. Either way, I like my jokes, and am happy more is coming.
I was suppose to do a show in L.A. tonight, but cancelled cuz my friend had an extra ticket to the Chargers game. I've never been, and didn't enjoy my last experience with the L.A. show. It's a little bit of a drive for maybe 5 minutes. Poker's been a roller coaster this week. Lost 10$, then made 85$, then lost 175$, then played late night for about 4 hours and made 350$. Profit of 250$. I'm still undecided if I''m gonna go to Vegas tomorrow. Lady stuff. Eh, it's weird I get the same vibe with the last lady. I don't really even think she likes me. Who knows, just gonna take it slow and see what happens.

Lazy, cheap day
So I woke up super early on my day off yet again. Didn't do much, went on the Lenscrafters website, thought about making an appointment but I'm too lazy and don't wanna drop the $100 to update my glue soaked broken glasses. Instead I deposited $100 on a poker site and played for 6 hours. I played extremely well, got unlucky in a few spots, and ended up down $9. Not bad for the unluckiness I dealt with. I was proud about the way I played, but seriously still question the site. It's crazy how bad I run, whatever. I played a little bit of cash games online. I need to relearn how to play those. It is completely different than live. I'd say if I have any leak in my poker talents, it would be online cash games. Well that and getting wasted and playing for big bucks.
Did a show at the Comedy Palace. God that's a long show. They start the show at 730 now. I left at ten and it was still going on. I had a drink before I went on stage (it was given to me). I think it either gave me a rush or I got somewhat drunk. I had my friend just write down words on a napkin and I'd try to make jokes. It was a bad idea. I had nothing planned and stumbled on my words a lot. It was kinda embarasssing. I tried talking to the crowd, but it's really tough at the Palace. I tried a few newer jokes, one that worked really well. Decent overall.
My friend went up late night. We tried a gag, where he messed up a bunch and I went up and consoled him. It made me laugh a lot, but the dreadful crowd didn't really get it. I think the comics enjoyed it, and if you can make comics laugh its probably a solid bit.
