I just realized that the majority of my blogs seem to start out with the phrase "Last night". So...Yesterday evening, I was sixth on the list at the Funny Bone. Scott Avery all-but-demanded I drop an "F-bomb" on stage, which I did during my opening "make a wish" line. I don't think I cussed anywhere else in the set; I got it on audio, so I'll have to review it. In preparation of the Bloomington trip, Janine Brito, Ken Jr. and I are taking Thursday, I dusted off my old college material. I've been trying to write a bit more, as I really like college audiences, but now doesn't seem the time to try new stuff. My college material flows easily into my jobs-I-had-or-have material. The crowd, though small, was pretty decent and I felt I had a really good set. I got off stage (probably) with a big crap-eating grin. I can't tell why last night I was comfortable, and in previous weeks I've been struggling. I'm wondering if having a goal (getting prepped for the Bloomington Trip) gets me excited and so I'm more thrilled to be on stage. In either way, if I can do well tonight, I'll consider my "slump" "busted". I'm going to switch it up tonight and head over to the Comedy Forum. I'm hoping I can show them how much I've improved since I last performed there.
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me
