I moved to Omaha this week and spent a lot of time at the Funny Bone here. Greg Warren put in a word for me with the club manager and got me on the list for the open mic (which they only do sporadically (and I only know that word because of the movie Clueless)). Anyway, I did the open mic, and then hung around the club a bunch this week because Eddie Gossling was headlining and I'm a big fan. Eddie got me a spotlight or two and I had a good time on stage, but sadly, I never performed in front of the club's booker/manager. The booker from the KC Improv was filling in this week though, but I don't think he saw me either.
On the bright side, I did meet a bunch of really cool local comics, and the feature act this week, Mike Speenberg was 1) really funny, and 2) super nice. This week was really cool because I'm in a new town, I don't feel totally alone, I haven't had a cigarette all week, I won money at the Casino, I did some good comedy, might have written some new jokes, got hit on at the bank, ate some quality breakfast type food at Village Inn and made pork chili. Mmmm Mmmm, pork.
