Last night I was at the Comedy Forum with Wild Bill Bauer and Patrick Ryan; the first show went really well; but the second show didn't exactly go the way I wanted. Between the shows I was talking to some regulars and they said they were happy to hear some new jokes from me. I told them they should come into the second show and I'd do a bunch of new stuff. I asked a group of about seven "kids" (early twenties) if they wanted smart jokes or dumb jokes. By smart jokes, I meant my Math, Chemistry and Spelling jokes. They said smart, and sadly I tried to deliver.
Second show Friday is not the time or the place to try the weird stuff. You'd think I'd know that by now...
Anyway, the show got off to a bumpy start and I totally forgot that Dan Walsh was doing a guest spot, and at the end of the show I wasn't in the room when Wild Bill finished his set, which was embarrasing. It was not my best showing. I'm hoping tonight will be better, I'd pretty confident it will be.
