The thing I hate most about stand up comedy is doubting myself; I'm going to the Vu Saturday and I have to bring my absolute best game possible. I'm very nervous about it, way moreso than the Wisconsin auditions. The Deja Vu is my college town of Columbia, Missouri; I've been trying to get stage time there for about a year. I've been on before, I was in a couple competitions they had (never really placed or did well) and I had two spotlights with Buzz Sutherland, most of this before I moved to St. Louis and started doing comedy seriously. So since it has taken so long to get back on stage there, I really want to impress the club; I don't think they even useMCs, but it's just something I feel I have to do. Anyway, I know what jokes I want to do, provided I have the time:
Here's the list of the jokes that I think showcase my best self on stage:
Transportation Ferrari/Corolla
Drinking (Shampoo/Braille menus)
Celebate by Popular Demand (Email/Scorpion)
Porn (iPod)
Sams Club (Tetris)
I think that would be about a 6 to seven minute set, which will likely be too long. Unfortunately, I will not have email access from now until I get back home Sunday, otherwise I'd ask for suggestions...
Anyway, I was at Laughs tonight and took what Adam Lough called the "Trustee position" or "Trusting position" I don't really know... Either way, I went up first and did alright, but if I do as well Saturday as I did tonight, I will be frankly disappointed. Chad Huff says I'm too hard on myself, too critical. Yeah, but if I'm not... who will be?
Anyway, I'm excited about this weekend, and will probably blog about the show Sunday when I get home.
Well he's tellin' us this
And he's tellin' us that
Changes it ev'ry day
Says it doesn't matter
