Laclede's Landing
Tonight I stopped by Laughs on the Landing for their open mic night. As the night went on, the audience grew, but after a bit some of the crowd took off, especially after Monray Griffen got done. He literally said he wasn't trying to be funny, he was just trying to offend people. The show didn't really start until about nine, even though it was billed as an 8:30 start time, but that's alright I guess. Needless to say, it was a light audience by the time I got up, and the PA wasn't the greatest, so the audience might not have been able to hear me. Then again, I might have just sucked. I did have fun though, which I really needed. The front row was "packed" with some improvers who work there, and I recognized one guy from City Improv in Union Station. I also tried out some sports jokes and they went over alright. Being new they need some work. Maybe I'll bust them out tomorrow...
