Last night at the Funny Bone, Dano Sullivan was hosting, and Bill Davis was the first comic to follow. Near the end of Bill's set, I noticed that no one "on deck". I went over and sat down since I was third on the list. Sure enough, the second guy (who I've never heard of / seen before) wasn't ready (or willing?) when his name was called. Dano did another minute or two and called me up. I had a good set, more comedians told me I looked comfortable or confident. Kevin Patterson gave me a possible tage I could use, Gabriel Kea told me I moved a lot, but only from my waist up (I had a neck cramp, so when I tried looking left or right, my whole body moved instead of just my head), and Chad Huff gave me some advice about blowing through one of my bits too quickly. My set order was a little mixed up, instead of starting with the Ferrari bit, I put it in after my dating stuff, and I closed with my pharmacy joke, which doesn't have the punch needed for a closer. Anyway, I'm still looking for a closer. I was surprised to get home and have power, so in celebration I watched Family guy and Futurama (the very first episode) and went to bed. My ceiling fan made the room kind of cold, but I left it on all night out of principle. Tonight I brave the MetroLink again to get to Laughs on the Landing. Hopefully I'll figure out how to read the schedule so I know how late I can/have-to stay.
