Monday and Tuesday were pretty normal as open mic nights go, so I didn't feel like blogging about them. But tonight's show at the Loony Bin was so much fun. Wednesday is open mic night at the Loony Bins, and I love it.

In a Loony Bin open mic, the emcee doesn't warm up the crowd for the comics. He just throws the first to the wolves. I asked Beth about it today and she says it makes the comics learn faster. Either way, I had brought up seven open micers before I did my set (I tried to make a joke between each of them). My set was pretty good, I did my Nervous joke, my overboard joke and my Mia Wallace joke (my new line about killing the mood got a semi-applause-break). I had a weird segue into my Sam's club joke (I ended with the Scarface line). I didn't do my Ferrari joke, and I wanted to work on it all this and week; so I'm slightly bummed there. I did my shampoo, braille menus, gay bar chunk and got some good laughs. The feature act, Justin Leon from Kansas City (Lawrence) was really funny and Dano had a good set too. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the week, I really think we have a solid show this week.
