Tonight, one of the comics went over his time by a lot. I was waving around the lights and he asked how much time he had left and what the lights meant. I said "Bail" kind of loudly and feel a little badly about it, but he was way over, and that's kind of disrespectful to the other comics, both those on the list and those not. That being said, I went over by twenty seconds, which is roughly 1/5th of the minute-thirty the other guy went over.
I don't mention that to be a jerk and call the dude out, but to contrast that jerky-action of mine to how my set went; in a word-amazing. I tried a new joke out about my trying to quit smoking and it worked well, and I added a line or two to the Mia Wallace bit (and even modified it on the fly) and it hit well too. After I got off stage, Joe Lehnig said "Give it up for Marcus, he was surprisingly funny".
