I got a call Friday to feature Saturday at Mason City Limits in Illinois. The club's run by Chris Spreyrer, a comic I've worked with before, and I've been up there a couple times. It's a sweet room, a little small, but comfortable, even with smaller audiences. I was working with Greg Lausch, and the first show we had consisted of 6 people. But they laughed like 8 people, so it was fun. Greg and I swapped stories, and he beat me saying he once performed for a married couple, whereas my smallest audience was 4 at the Red Sea on the St. Louis Loop. The second show saturday, I did 20 minutes to an audience of about 80 people. The show went really well and afterwards, Greg said that my blind skier joke was written perfectly. Compliments are always really motivating, but compliments from headliners are in a class of their own, needless to say I was pretty happy. We stayed up until about 3 at the apartment above the club with Chris and Ryan (the bartender/jack of all trades (who made me a dvd of when I featured for Henry Phillips)). It was a good time, and they booked me to come back in February. I'm pretty excited, and really want to get another 3 or so minutes before then...
