Last night at the Main Street Bistro (formerly known as Ricky's on Main) I was the first comedian up, except for Clayton Champagne the host and MC. In the workshop, Jeremy and Matt suggested that I expand on my Make-a-wish opener. Typically I say "Come on you guys can do better than that, this is my make a wish"; the problem is sometimes people don't hear the second part, so my opener looses it's comedic effect. That happened last night, so when I delivered the second half of that joke, no one knew what I was talking about. I think I should say "Come on, this is my make a wish, you guys can do better than that".
Last night I also tried out a bit on pornography. Porn jokes coming from a "clean" comic? Aww yeah. I also did my new alztimer's joke, which is a little dark and since it puts my grandma (who is actually suffering from Alztimer's) as the "victim" (for lack of a better word) of the joke, seems mean. I trimmed the fat on my Funeral joke and dropped it to a one-liner, which got groaned, kind of. And I closed with my "Black Name" joke. I need to stop doing that one for a while, so I don't accidentally do it at the Funny Bone. I'd really like to get a spotlight there, and Behrens says I won't get one with that joke.
Oh yeah, I don't have any electricity at my Condo, and haven't since Saturday afternoon. That's nearly 3 days without electricity. I don't have any flashlights, my TV is useless, the fridge is broke and I can't do laundry so I'm wearing my "old" clothes that aren't exactly in style; I'm about two degrees away from being Amish. Anyway, Tonight's the Funny Bone; I need to figure out what I want to close with.
