Tonight's show at the Loony Bin was awesome. We had a hundred and thirty something reservations (on a Thursday!) and the crowd was much more "friendly" than the Christmas party last night. I started my set and got straight into the jokes, and followed some advice Billy Wayne gave me, "Show the audience what a joke is. Show them a setup and a punch, and they will know how a comedy show works", and "Slow down".
I slowed down, a lot, but I'm going to try to slow down even more tomorrow. My set was good, I "sat the table" for the other two comics, and did my time. During my skiing bit, I remember specifically thinking "I need to slow down on this joke, pause here, speed up here, this is a big laugh, start talking now". It felt great to be in control of what I was doing.
Check out my MySpace blog for jokes on which I'm working.
