I just got back from the Main Street Bistro, Gabe, Clayton and myself performed for five patrons. Usually I would have enjoyed the show and tried to deliver my material with passion, but today's been kind of weird. Two things kind of threw me: 1) I haven't been on stage since the Thursday in Springfield and 2) today's the first day I've actually doubted myself comedically. Today, for a very brief amount of time, I saw myself failing at comedy. I sent out a couple tapes a couple weeks ago and so far, no word. I know that's normal, but for a second, part of me believed it wasn't. It's very scary; I mean I like to think I sacrafice a lot for comedy: I don't drink anymore (so I don't embarrass myself anymore than usual), I don't have other hobbies anymore (video game playing is at an all time low) and I don't have a social life. I like to think I do this all for comedy, and I like to believe that hard work pays off, but every once in a while I get a little down, and today it's regarding comedy.
Awww... :(
Anyway, my portion of tonight's show was weak, Gabe had some good new bits. You should catch all 14 of his sets at RooftopComedy.com.
