I am somewhat of a masochist; I enjoy the challenge of going up at the very beginning of a show, and at the end (when an audience is tired). Tonight I went up near the end, and the crowd had stuck around so far (they ended up leaving a couple of comics later) but they were still a little less than attentive. I did a couple of jokes and got good responce for the situation. After my shampoo joke, no one laughed, so when I said "Come on, Forum, you're not even paying attention", it was not only true, but it kind of called out the audience and they started paying attention more.
Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.
