Tonight at the meeting, Matt Behrens said he was going to watch the show and scout for possible MCs. Open mics are generally often used for trying new stuff, but tonight was probably a good night to bust out the tried and true material. Too bad that's not what I thought three hours ago... I wasn't on the list originally, so after the meeting, I put together my hypothetical list (you know, what I would do if I were on stage). Then Matt came over and added me to the list, somewhere near the beginning, between Rob Durham and Kevin Bozeman. My set list consisted of my new "up 2 the challange" bit which I've had a lot of fun doing lately and my new Walmart joke, which has what I call a reverse-rule-of-three, my Easter Fool's Day joke, my bachelor party joke, a bit about using an instruction manuel for sex and then some porn material (in that order, I think). I tried to close on my email joke, but went over time a bit so I didn't get through it. Technically I didn't start it, I only got through my "Celebate by popular demand" line, but it's the thought that counts, right? Anyway, I had fun, the crowd was a little stubborn, so I didn't do as well as I had hoped, but that happens. I didn't get to stick around for long as I had to get home, write this, eat a couple sandwiches and go to bed. Tomorrow I am heading to Springfield, IL with Mikey Manker, Kevin White and possibly Adam Lough. The Cocktail Hour Comedy Tour is on the move again. Yeehah.
All of which makes me nervous
Sometimes unbearably so
