Tonight was a great night. I emceed at the Comedy Forum for Costaki Economopoulos and Brian Aldridge. I first worked with Brian in Milwaukee in 2006 and when I saw his headshot a couple weeks ago; I got excited. I remembered him being really funny and we hung out (went shoe shopping, which is weird), and when he walked in tonight, he recognized me. That's awesome. I love how in comedy, you meet a comic, hang out for a week and then not see them for a year (or more) and you're still cool. There's this weird connection some comics share; it really makes it easier when you're in a different town and away from friends and family.
My set tonight wasn't great. I mean I had some KILLER laughs, but I also had one or two (which is one or two too many...) dry spots where material I consider proven didn't deliver. However, while I was on stage, I wrote a couple jokes on the fly, which I am normally completely against doing, and they got some good laughs. Even during the middle of the setups, I was thinking to myself "Why are you doing this? You don't know where you're going here", and then a punchline would come out and work. Even though we only had 18 people in the audience, the entire show went really well and the audience members weren't uptight about being so small; which really helped make the show rock.
