There is no perfect recipe to produce a perfect performance. Comedy is not a science, and so I find myself riding this weird roller coaster dipping in and out of slumps and generally not progressing the way I would hope I am able. I'm not sure what I need to do to make myself seem more 'natural' or conversational on stage; but I'm sure that needs to happen. There's something I can't control in my presentation that I need to change. I'm toying with the idea of trying out and studying some improv at LL, in order to work on a different skill set (as they would say in professional sports). Anyway, last night at LL, the show was fun, I actually stuck around until the end. We only had about 8 or 9 comics, with an intermission thrown in the middle; at first I figured that might shake up the crowd or give people an excuse to leave, but it didn't seem to 'ruin' anything. I'm not all that pleased with my performance, I wanted to try some brand new jokes and work on the most recent batch (ie porn, internet friend) but I kept looking at my cheat sheet. I did some dating stuff and threw in Tetris because I got a cool Tetris shirt in the mail yesterday from Game Skins. I wish I would have recorded the advice that Mike Birgiglia and John Morgan had given me, looking back that stuff seems invaluable.
If life were picture perfect you could frame it,
but the world is a diaper so let someone else change it
