The two shows last night at Mason City Limits were fun. The first show was packed, and I ran around frantically looking for my camera, the charger and a coaster so I could frame the shot properly. But thanks to the curse of the camera, the crowd (though energetic and numerous) was not on the same page as me for my set. Eventually, I just got weird and started talking about my jokes (like the Shampoo-dog one). I closed with some of my work stuff and then Melissa did a spot and Rich closed the show.
Second show was weird; we had 5 ladies in the audience. That's it. I had already gotten a lot of video and so I decided to change shirts for this show and not use the microphone. I only got about 6 seconds of video for my montage, but it's enough to help. Because I strive for perfection, neither of the shows are anything I'd be "proud" of, but both audiences had fun and Rich and Melissa both said I did well and I had fun, so I'm not beating myself up over it like I probably would have in the past.
