Monday was the last Monday-show at Lloyd and Harry's. From now on, we're going to be performing on Sunday nights. Honor the Sabbath. Anyway, on Monday the show was interrupted (continuously) by two sisters, Jackie and Alicia, who had 1) too much to drink and 2) the most shrill voices I have ever heard. They stumbled into the bar by accident and were pleasantly surprised to find a comedy show about to start. A bunch of the comics talked to them, whereas I just plowed through my material and made eye-contact with the remaining audience members to try to keep focus. Kevin Bunetic actually bought the girls a drink so they'd shut up. I thought that was funny.
Thursday I had a one-nighter in Rockford, IL at a bar called LT's. The headliner was a guy named Stephano. The audience was a little rough (we started with around 20 people) and they weren't sat too close to the stage. I did my thirty and had an alright set. I think I forgot to do my Pro Bono Pimp joke, but I'm not sure.
Last night I did two sets at the Comedy Club on State in Madison, WI (My friends Ward Anderson and James Ervan Berry were performing). My first set went very well. I did eight minutes and Joe (the comedian-liaison/manager (I think?))was impressed and I got compliments from other staff member and audience members (one lady said I felt like a motivational speaker because I smiled and made eye-contact). I got to do another set at the second show, and I asked Joe if he wanted different material or if it mattered. He said it was up to me, so I chose a different set (I actually repeated one (1) joke). I did really well that time and closed on my DQ joke (which I never do, but might start now for shorter sets). Joe was again complimentary and said he would pass on good words about me. After the shows, we got some pizza at Ian's (which was good) and went to the Silver Dollar for some drinks. Then Ward let me crash in his extra bed in his Hotel (The Concourse is pretty swanky). Next stop is Grand Rapids, MI for a show at Dr. Grins with Mike Brody and Tommy Johnagin.
