Less ups than downs

Last night I went over to Fairview to catch Andy Woodhull and Rahn Ramey in action. I was kind of hoping to get a spot light or emcee the show; but Anthony said Dave would prefer to keep that kind of stuff limited to Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. The audience during the first show was pretty stingy with their chuckles, and before the show, some guy asked if he could propose to his girlfriend on stage. The club staff didn't want to let it happen, but they eventually agreed to it. When it came time, Rahn called the guy on stage and the guy proposed to a dude named Mike. He said that they met in the army, and I was kind of impressed, doing that in public. Then it turned out that Mike wasn't gay and it was abig hoax. Some sort of initiation, another audience member said. Needless to say, Rahn wasn't happy about it. Between shows, Anthony said that I could emcee that one, and Chad Huff showed up and Rahn had him to a guest spot. My set could have been better, but I got through it ok and I feel I did a good job on the announcements when it was time to do them, especially since no one told me what to say; I heard Andy do them first show (because he had to do that since it was a 2 man show) so I knew what comics to plug and the website/comment cards are a given. But then I also had to do the Kilo Diabetes Foundation announcement, which I usually stumble over. I did it last night though and did well enough that I'm not beating myself up over it...
Anyway, that was last night, it was fun and i got to work with Andy and Rahn.

One thing I remembered last night was: the last time I worked in Fairview was with Andy and Rahn. So last night was like a small reunion tour.

Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.
