Hello, rich people
Friday night, David Graham and I did a Yacht club private show in St Charles. I did 26 minutes and was really happy with my set; the acoustics weren't the best, the lighting was almost non existent, and the audience was drunk and rowdy (stage right) and quiet and uptight (stage left). But I had a good time, I did about every joke I had, and I made some money. Being able to fill that amount of time feels good, but I keep thinking to the advice that pros sometimes give. Have 1 1/2 of what's needed. If you need 30 minutes, wait until you have 45. Just in case. I'm really hoping this will help motivate me to write more, so that when I am required to do 30 regularly, I will have a little extra in my back pocket just in case.
