Last night the Bistro had a decent little crowd. Adam Lough hosted for Kyle Bandit, Stevie P, myself, Mikey Manker and Clayton Champagne. I cleaned out my old DVR by transferring all the audio to my PC. I listened to a bunch of the random ideas I've come up with and I wrote the ones I liked best down. Going on stage with only a bunch of half-prepared ideas is like loading a cannon with just gunpowder. Even if it does explode, there's not a big band and probably very little to "throw" at the audience. So it wasn't all the surprising when I kind of ate it for about 7 minutes. Somewhere I shifted from my unworked stuff to newer stuff to older material, and around that time I felt like I made a solid connection with the audience. I remember doing my [Easter] joke, which I really really like. That joke is one of the few that begs-to-be-told-well more than most of my other jokes. What I mean is, I like telling that joke, and it seems I have fun with that joke on a more consistant basis.
Insert Text Book-Like Explanation BelowIt's such a weird idea: During Easter time, we not only get the Salvation of Christ, but we also get the bachelor party. The Last Supper was the world's first bachelor party. It's Jesus' last night out with all his guy friends before he makes the "ultimate sacrafice" and can't hang out with his buddies any more. I love watching people as they get it. You've seen pictures from the party too, Jesus and the boys all on one side of that table, don't let anyone fool you, that's a stage. But there are no women, no dancers, no strippers. Way to go Judas! And you know Jesus was pissed: what was the last thing he said to the guys? Eat me. My absolute favorite part of that joke is the very end. Easter's way better than Passover, because for Passover all you get is to-keep-your-oldest-brother.After the show, I hung out for a while and played some darts, I didn't get home until late, and didn't have time to blog so I'm doing this at work, and I have to say, I'd prefer getting paid to do this than doing it when I could be watching Lost, the BoonDocks, Reno911 or any of the 30+ other shows I have Tivo Season Passes for.
