cinqo de comedio

Last night I showed up at Laughs on the Landing, and Ken Jr and Mike Manker were already there. Mark Faegenbutz and another guy (John something) showed up eventually. And that was it, comic-wise. Turns out, everyone else was probably at the Comedy Forum competition. Ken, Mike and I sat at a table in the back before the show and talked shop, which was pretty cool. We discussed writing, style, stage pressence, and some other stuff. I'd not talked to either about those types of things, so it was neat to hear what they had to say. We didn't have a big crowd, in fact I think we barely broke 15, but it was fun. Ken Jr was hosting, and I went up second following John. I recorded my set as usualy, and told a story about when I got my hockey helmet and how easy it is to pretend to be retarded while wearing it. I got a couple of laughs, but I'm not a story telling comic, so I think I wasn't doing it right. When I tell the same story in person, usually people laugh; some things just don't translate onto stage, I feel. Anyway, I did Sex and Sports, Lucky Mike, Clean Comedy, and some other stuff that slips my mind. I was up there for about 10 minutes (we all did extended time because there were only five of us).
