I keep forgetting to blog after shows; so it looks like I have some catching up to do.

Saturday was the drunk show at the Blue Agave, Joe Lancy, Joel Thornton, Landon Meyer, Steve Poggi, Brian Dowell, Kevin Bunetic, Patrick Brandmeyer and I performed. I was emceeing the show, and everyone from Joel to Kevin were competing for their own charities. The rules were that they had to be twice the legal limit (.16 BAC) before performing and they had to do twelve minutes to qualify. Officer Cathy Effing and her breathalyser proved to be too accurate so I had to fudge the numbers a bit, but that doesn't mean the guys weren't wasted. Kevin and Steve were super belligerent and Brian ended up throwing up in the back of the "showroom". The audience ended up voting for Joel Thornton, so I think some Animal charity got the money from the door.

Monday at the Forum, I kind of gave up on stage. I think the small audience (and the fact that a bunch of my friends went up and didn't get the results they deserved) had something to do with it. My DQ joke and my smoking joke did go over well, though.

Tuesday, last night, was a similar situation. The audience wasn't bad, and I was only third on the list so it's not like I could claim they were slow or terrible only e minutes into the show. Anyway, I did my DQ joke and it worked well, my restaurant material didn't ALL work, I need something better for the dreams part and I need a good punch at the end of my smoking joke. Hopefully I'll come up with something by next week.
