I've gotten pretty lazy with this blog. Things have gotten kind of slow, I suppose. At least that's the way it seems. Most of my shows go pretty much the same, either I do well and am satisfied with the results, or I encounter some problem (be it me, the delivery of one particular joke, or a rough audience). Since most of my sets seem to continuously fall into those one of those categories, I feel that my blogs have become categorized as well.
The week with Leo and Kevin ended well, Beth was very complimentary to me and invited me back. Her calendar's full through January, so hopefully I'll get back down there around February or March. Hopefully February.
Tonight at the Comedy Forum I emceed for a small crowd. Mike Howington was in town and brought people, so we had a show (and he gets a mention in the blog). My set consisted of me explaining the open mic rules (not as charismatically as I would have liked) and doing a couple of new jokes which poorly segued into other established jokes. I worked pretty blue most of the night and even told a couple book jokes between comics to keep myself amused. I kind of wish I would have taken the audience more seriously because the two new jokes I tried could have worked WAY better had I actually believed the audience would like them. I'll have to wait for another small crowd sometime and hope that I don't give up before I get on stage then also.
