I'm getting a little to lax with the ol' blogging; Monday's show at the Forum was alright, I emceed but really didn't want to (it was just a lack of options) and since we started late and had a small crowd, I went from everyone doing different amounts of time based on their "skill" and/or quality of jokes to a flat 4 four minute time frame. At the beginning of the show, I tried to bring everyone on stage with some weird credit; like being the swashbuckling champion of Pittsburg in '87; but I ran out of ideas about 6 people in.
Last night's show at the Funny Bone was great; Paul Harris was organizing some event for VH1's Save the Music charity, and so a bunch of people that Paul knows came out. I had 1 coworker show up and he brought 2 people, so that was nice. My set went really well, my jokes about local jokes did well, and I was able to do about 8 bits or so in my 4 minute time (admittedly, I did go over a bit). I'm at the Forum this week and going back to Milwaukee next week. I'm going to try to use this week to find my best 10 minutes so I can impress JD and the guys. No point in going up there as the Opener only to get thrown back down to the Announcer position...
