I forgot to blog yesterday, so I'll combine it with today's…
I went to the Funny Bone, I didn't get on, I wrote a bit with Matt Wolff and hung out afterwards for a bit.
Now on to Last Night;
While being a smart-allic to Jim Stout (who runs the open mic at the Forum) I asked if I could have a ridiculous amount of time; and he replied "You can MC if you want". I did want…
So I opened up the show and I have no idea how much time I did because my camera ran out of tape so I have no record. I opened up with a joke I wrote moments before I got on stage, needless to say it involved the Bridges of Madison County. Golden! Anyway, I did decent, though the crow was HUGE, they weren't to ready to laugh. I had planned on closing with my phone sex joke, because it usually gets a bigger response than any of my other "work-style" jokes. It didn't so I threw in my "blackest thing about me" joke which got the LARGEST groan I've ever heard. I was proud.
Throughout the rest of the night I tried out a couple of jokes on the crowd, mainly some "new" jokes that I haven't done on stage before. I also tried to bring up the comedians and say something different about each one.
Also, and this was super cool, my gradeschool buddy, Michael Sutter, came to my show and brought his cousin, Angela. They got to see me open, and then had to run to the airport to pick up Mike's brother John. They came back to watch the last comedian and the we headed over to Dave and Buster's. Needless to say, I was late to work. Again.
