Good start to the week

Last night was the open mic at the Tulsa Loony Bin. So I got to host the show for 7 open mic-ers, Ken Kramis the feature and Leo DeFour the headliner and a good sized crowd. I started the open mic telling people they'd see pros and amateurs, funny comics and un funny comics. I told them to laugh at the funny ones but not to encourage the bad ones. I didn't do any time up top, so I tried to have funny things to say between the comics, so that when I finally got to do my time, I would hopefully already have a reputation with the crowd of being funny. I called some guy Gomer Pile from Full Metal Jacket and they quoted the movie, but got it wrong a bit.
My set went alright, I played around on stage and talked to the audience a bit. Nothing real substantial or hilarious ensued, but I had a good set, and felt really good about just winging it more and taking the chance of being spontaneously funny.
