It's 3:23 AM and I'm still up in my room at Mason City Limits. I'm working with Rich Ragains who is from Louisville, KY and brought Melissa Duran (one of Louisville's local comediennes) with him. During the 7:30 show, the three of us did time, Chris hosted, Melissa followed, I middled and Rich headlined. The show was pretty tough, as the crowd of thirteen was pretty hard to crack. There was one guy named Bill (I think they said his nickname was Kraut) who was very drunk and called me out on my shampoo joke, since I didn't shave my head today. He literally had me speechless. I was able to get back to my act through it wasn't as clean or smooth as I would have liked. I did get a new tag or so though, which got really good laughs from the other comics and from the crowd.
The second show couldn't have been more different. We had a few more people, and they were a lot of fun. Ryan went up after Chris instead of Melissa, I still middled and Rich still headlined (that should go without saying). My set was a lot of fun, I played around more with my set (meaning I kind of talked about it) and ad-libbed a lot more. i called myself out of some of my own jokes (which Rich called creative and "a comics' comic's jokes" (you have to really look at that phrase to get it, I think). After wards, we (Chris, Ryan, Jeni the waitress, Peggi, Gonzo, Rich, Melissa and a couple others) all hung out at John and Peggi's restaurant.
