Last night's shows at the Comedy Cafe in beautiful downtown Milwaukee were good. Instead of doing all of my time up front like I did Thursday, Eric asked me to do a joke or two up front and then do a joke between each performer; which was pretty hard for me to pull off. I've often replied to new-open-mic-guys-who-complain-about-short-set-time-limits that if you can't be funny in three minutes, you need to work on that, maybe get a stronger opener. Something. So I feel kind of like a hypocrite when I say it's very hard to be funny in one minute. I feel less like a hypocrite, though when I add the fact that I'm going up between three other guys and trying to get the audience to shift gears twice.
Keep it going for Jamie everyone (applause), ok now shut up and listen to this one joke and then laugh at it and then make some noise for your next performer... Weird.
Anyway, the show was good though, and afterwards Murv and his buddy Tim and I headed back to the condo, watched some weird movie called Santa's Slay and ate some pizza and wings that Tim bought. I stayed up kind of late and slept in pretty late. Now I'm at Rochambo sucking up some free WiFi.
Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.
