Big room plus small audience equals weird accustics

On Thursday, while I was working at the Comedy Forum, Al asked me what I was doing Saturday, I said I was working at the Forum, and he asked if I wanted to do a show with Dan O'Sullivan and Jim Stout at Ft. Leanord Wood. I said I'd love to, so he gave me the gig and I arranged to meet Dano and drive down with him. The venue, called the Rockin' R, was really nice. Huge room, very high ceilings, and a really nice staff, but I had to carry a wireless mic up to the stage and so I turned it on before I got to the stage and was rewarded with a healthy dose of feedback from the speakers. The mic behaved like that through all of my set and all through Jim's, which was distracting while I was on stage. Since the room was so large, and we only had 50 or so audience members, it was really hard to hear if they were laughing or not. Jim's wife was there and she said the audience was laughing harder than I could hear on stage, which helped me feel better about my set.
