Tonight's show at the Forum started really late. We literally had 4 audience members at 8:00 and only one more person showed up by 8:30 when we started the meeting. I kind of harped on the other comics pretty bad about not bringing people out. I cursed a bit, and I feel kind of bad, especially since I didn't bring anyone. However I did leave over 90 comments on different myspace pages for my "friends" in the St Charles/St Peters area; so that helps my conscience a little bit. Before the show, I wanted to make it a relay-race/tag-team/piggy-back deal, where each comic brings up the next comic. Almost not one was able to smoothly bring up the next comic, including myself.
On stage, I played around with my Mia Wallace joke a bit, more talking out my ideas than actually delivering the joke and I talked about my recent (and failed) attempts at quitting smoking so I closed on my joke about "Justin's plan to quit smoking". When I tried to bring up Dan Walsh at the end of my set I said, "That's it for me, keep it going for your next comic," and I forgot who I was bringing up. Like I said, not smooth.
The best news of the night though is that Al offered me the chance to emcee at a show Saturday in Ft Leanordwood with Dan O'Sullivan and Jim Stout, but he said he'll still let me emcee Thursday and Friday.
