late like Alice

Last night's show at the landing wasn't bad. We didnt have near the number of comics we had last week, but we didn't have near the audience we had two nights ago. I ended up going first, but since I wanted to keep within the alotted time frame, I didn't try to connect with the audience the way I did Wednesday. Janine and I requested some bits for each other and so I had a list of what I wanted which might have been a bad choice. It doesn't matter, but the audience wasn't really with me, and so the set didn't go as well as I had hoped. I was concentrating really hard on remembering and wording a new tag for my email joke, which did distract me from much of my performance, so hopefully next time around, I'll have the delivery for that joke down and I'll be back up to speed. I think the people I like to watch the most are the ones who are the most consistant (on their side). The comics, and this does include some open mic-ers, who keep it tight and controlled on their end (despite how the audience reacts) can be the best to watch and the ones to learn from.
