Last night I Metro'd down by the Arch for some open mic in the main theatre room of Laughs on the Landing. I brought out almost every joke I've been doing in the past couple months in one set and recorded/timed it. 7:50. I'm alright with that. I switched around my Sports/Sex joke so it doesn't sound like I'm just listing off stuff. Instead of an X-Y-1234 style, it's more X-12-Y-34 where X is part of a setup and Y is the second part. Anyway, I'm at the point now where I think I need to pull out some of my older material and get it into shape. Then again, I would also like to start working on some new material and premises I've come up with. There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day, or enough stage time in the week... (sigh).
In any case, I liked the theatre room at LL, but everyone pretty much filled up the back of the room. If they had seaters (which I know is another person to pay, and for an open mic night without a cover charge, that's asking a lot) that would help. My stage time was fun, but I have a feeling I need to go back and study my delivery. I really don't want to lug around my video camera, but if I have to in order to keep my stage presence from getting stale, I will.
