Joe Murray said I should talk more about the scene in my blog. People have told me before to change stuff to keep my blog interesting. "Hey you should..."
-write jokes in your blog
-actually be funny
-talk about other comedians
I've tried writing jokes in my blog, but they never sound right. I don't think my jokes translate as well written as they do spoken, and I don't want people to think "that's not funny" when they read one of my jokes. As for being funny, I don't know how to joke-up the fact that I emceed in the Jazz club last night. Honestly, it wasn't that funny (to me).
I also don't like talking about other comics; If I trash a comedian, that would obviously be bad. BUT, if I compliment a comedian, like Joe Murray (who is really funny and almost magically dark), then what about the comics I don't compliment? I mean would Josh Arnold, Jeff Wesselschmidt, Mikey Manker and Mark Feigenbutz be mad I didn't mention them too? I'd rather not take any chances on people not having thick skin, you know?
"Tonight", there was some SLU Vs. MU comedy battle royale at the Funny Bone. I heard that the show wasn't great; but I wasn't there. I was next-door at the Jazz club hosting the open mic. That's right, hosting. The crowd was a little weird and my set was weird because I went up without any offstage announcements or ANYTHING. Just me walking up and saying hello. I'm pretty sure I should have got the comedians to start clapping as I walked up to clue the people in the audience into what's up. Anyway, the night was alright; we only had 11 comedians or so. I gerrymandered the times for the guys who have more experience and we got about 90 minutes out of the show.
