Last week in comedy

Saturday: My audition at Dr Grin's didn't go the way I'd hoped. I'm not blaming the emcee for cooling the audience, but he did make fun of a lady on her 50th birthday and call some bachelorettes some non-complimentary things. Also, though, I asked the audience how they were doing TWICE and it probably looked like I was nervous, so I'll take 50% of the blame there.

Sunday: We didn't even do a show at Lloyd and Harry's because there wasn't enough of an audience.

Monday: We did a show at the Forum, I was going to go up last, but some guy (who brought people) wanted to go last so his girlfriend could see. So I let him. His friends weren't a very good audience, and they didn't laugh at anyone (including him) hardly at all.

Tuesday: I did another five minute set for Matt at the Funny Bone. I was happy with it, but could have been happier.

Saturday: Last night Johnny Kavanaugh and I did a one-nighter outside of Springfield, IL. First show we had 13 people, and they were fun and I did 24 minutes or so (they weren't big laughers, but they did seem to have fun). Johnny did a lot of crowd work first show and the audience LOVED that. Second show, literally no one sat in the show room, 1 couple (read: 2 PEOPLE) moved closer but were technically not in the area that was the show room. So I did about 15 minutes where I couldn't stop laughing at the situation, and Johnny did maybe 30. After that we got paid and drove home.
