Last night's show at the Comedy Forum was not your typical open mic. For starters, we had WAY less comics show up than normal, and on top of that, we literally doubled our audience size twice throughout the course of the show. We started with around 7 or 8 people, and ended up with more than 30. I remember looking up and one point and just being flabbergasted at the number of people.
I'm happy with my set last night, I am still working on the same two bits, but I also did my old Walmart jokes, which were kind of rusty. I started off my set with my black-name joke (even thought 6 of the 12 (or so) people in the audience were black). It got a decent reaction, but I even said that I was starting off trying to upset the audience so that I could win them back (thus seeming more triumphant). Anyway, the show ended around 9:15, which is almost a record as far as I'm concerned and I went to pick up Sarah and see Pineapple Express (it was alright, but not as great as I expected).
Next Monday is my birthday and the Forum is doing a showcase of some of their favorite comics, hopefully I can get some of my co-workers to come to the show.
