Saturday's shows

I really enjoyed Saturday's shows at the Skyline Comedy Cafe, I worked on my new shoes joke that follows my PANTS joke, and I did my mozzarella sticks joke, which I haven't done in a while. I remembered only too late that I wanted to try my kindergarten joke (even though it's only a thirty second (or so) bit) so that would be the only thing I would change if I could go back in time. Well, that and I would have reminded myself to bring my video camera charger so I could tape all week.

Monday's open mic

I did my set a capella style at the Forum tonight. The comic who emceed (I forget his name) hooked up an "echo machine" or something to the mic, and so it wasn't completely functional during my set. I went a little over (ok, I went over by three minutes) but the crowd enjoyed my set, and I was able to work on my hand gestures and I REALLY played with how my voice sounded on some of my jokes. I worked on my shoes joke a little bit and tried heading in a different direction (based on a suggestion from Steve Poggi) which fits my character more and makes me seem less like a jerk. It wasn't funny, but I have confidence it will be by next week. Unfortunatly I did swear a little bit, but I learned more during my set than I lost by cursing, so I'd call my set tonight a win. Around the end of the show, the emcee said (on stage) that he had to leave, so I took over hosting duties and closed the show.
