This weekend was outstanding. Not because crazy things happened, not because I got a decent amount of sleep, and certainly not because I threw up (A LOT) last night and got picked up a nice bout of diarrhea (thanks to some Arby's I think). This weekend was awesome because I had two shows, both one nighters (which usually have the opportunity to be rough (to say the least)) and both went better than I could have hoped.
Friday morning, I woke up super early to drive to North Platte, NE with David Graham for a show at a bar called Touch Downers (I think). The show was great, though I had to use a cheat sheet on my Iphone to remember a new order I'm working on. I ended up doing 33 minutes and got a lot of nice compliments after the show. David had really nice things to say, and so now I'm not nearly as anxious of featuring as I was.
Last night Joe Lehnig, Dan O'Sullivan and I performed at an Elk's lodge in Washington, MO. We weren't allowed to use the F-word (which wasn't an issue for me) and the sound mic cord was really dodgy, but other than that the show went extremely well. I opened up and did about 13 minutes. Joe did really well, and Dano only slipped up twice with the F-word (he played it off well, and no one got upset). After the show, everyone was very happy with the show, and on the way home Dano had some nice things to say about my comedic talents. I've always believed I'd make it as a professional comedy, but now I'm starting to know I will. It's a great feeling.
