Saturday night I did a guest set at the Funnybone's midnight show. Ryan Stout was headlining and he got me the time. I had dinner with him, Tommy Johnagin and Andy Woodhull at Ozzie's last time Ryan was in. Matt Contey hosted and Jake Baker middled. My set went very well, I opened with my skiing jokes and followed with Hooters, Black Marcus, Black Name and closed on my drinking stuff. I was kind of nervous because it's been 14 months since I did a guest set at the Westport Bone (2/17/08 to be exact, with Eddie Gossling and Dan Chopin). Matt said he wants to see a different 5 from me at next week's open mic (since I am going to Columbia tomorrow evening).
Sunday I did a charity show for Bloom's Syndrome. It was an all day event, with Improv, Sketch Comedy, Story reading and Stand Up. My friend Katie Shanahan asked me to perform and I almost always say yes to Katie, and I almost always say yes to Charity shows. I was scheduled to go on at 6:50pm and do about a half an hour. When I arrived, Katie told me that there wasn't a big crowd, but they were a good crowd (she said they knew they were small, but they were giving the performers their attention and responding positively). I went up and did my set, I didn't do much crowd work or try to kill time and I only checked my cheat-sheet ONCE (about 18 minutes in or so). I ended up doing close to a half-hour and I had a fun time. I even got a compliment or two, which is always nice (especially from a small audience). I'll have to remember to add that to my resume (when I decide to update it).
