It's 12:37, Friday afternoon and I literally got up today, grabbed my lappy and walked to a bar in Milwaukee that has free wi-fi with Hannibal Burris, the feature act this week at the Comedy Cafe. We did one show last night, and it was a ton of fun. The announcer this week is Steve Hartman from Appleton, I'm the "Second Opener", and Pat Dixon is headlining. My set went really well last night; before-hand I mentioned to Pat and Steve that the crowd might not like me because there were some large-ish women in the audience and I have more than a couple fat jokes. But I didn't really upset anyone enough that I wasn't able to win them back later.
I don't know where it happened in my set; I think it was at the end of my two seminary jokes; some girl "Woo"'d really loudly, and without too much hesitation (so my timing was really good) I said "What's your name?" and I got a huge laugh off of that. Also, during my shampoo joke, I called back to the blind skier (I've kind of modified that joke a couple times over the past week, which is really cool. I like the idea of freshening up my material).
After the show, we were talking to four audience members and they wanted to know about my shampoo joke. I had to admit it is one of the few that isn't based on "truth", but then I said the married-woman joke was. Then we talked about killing people for like 6 minutes and some dude offered his services. Repeatedly.
After that, Steve, Pat and I went to Potawatomi Indian Casino to play some poker. I actually won one hand, but ended up losing 40 bucks. We'll probably go back tonight; which is a terrible financial decision on my behalf, but it'll be fun.
