Night of firsts

Last nights shows at the Comedy Forum don't really follow the "Second Show Friday" stereotype, because the second show last night was WAY better than the first. Don't get me wrong, the first one was good (I worked on my Shoes joke and my Nasty Cigarettes tag) and I got it on video, but barely... I'm working on filming all my sets this week (and Andy's as well), but I accidentally chose a wide-screen format for the first show, so the 40 minute video I shot took 80 minutes to process. So literally it was done after the 10:15 show was supposed to start (we started a little late, and I was able to get the late show). That second show will go down in history, because there was a weird energy in the room, the kind where when I did my Mozzarella sticks joke, someone offered me a mozzarella stick. Hell yeah, so I ATE it on stage. While doing my set. At one point a little piece flew out of my mouth and on my arm, so I grabbed it and just said "I got it" and ate it again. During the Fryman's set, people kept sending up shots (a bunch of them too) so he got a little drunk, which the crowd loved. THEN he found out a bunch of cops were in the audience; and he kept joking about it being a set-up. We didn't get out until late, because he went a little long (but the crowd was loving it, so no one seemed to mind). Tonight I'm taping the entire show, because Fryman wants a shorter tighter headliner set for his DVD. Go BabyTurtle.
