It worked

I hosted at the Comedy Forum tonight, because I wanted to try a couple of things that Bert talked about at Zanies. There were about twenty or so audience members and none of them were sitting in the first two rows. I told them straight up that if they moved up to the front, we wouldn't make fun of them AND the show would be 10 times better than if they stayed. And a third of them moved up; I want to say it made a big difference. The show was really good, I did probably 13 minutes up front and sandwiched my new jokes (that I lead off with last night) and they went over well. We only had 11 comedians on the list (including one new guy) and so I let everyone do about seven to eight minutes. I talked to Al after the show and picked up two more weeks at the club, one with Costaki Economopoulos in April. I'm really excited about that.
