Last night was my second open mic at Duffy's in Lincoln and I had a good time again. The comics I rode to the show with, Cody Hustak, Scott Muilenberg, Richard Reese and Nick Allen are all pretty funny and easy to get along with. On the way up, we listened to the new Doug Stanhope CD and it's really good. When we got to Duffy's we didn't have much of an audience, but by the time the show started enough of the people in the bar filtered into the showroom area to make it a good start. I went up third, technically second because the hosts didn't do any time up front, and had a good set. I started with my joke about Justin quitting smoking and just played from there on out. I am working on a bunch of new stuff right now, I reworded my scorpion joke, my motorcycle date joke, the facebook bully joke (that got a good laugh at the end), I forgot about my Linguine Bologna joke until I saw it on a video so I did that and I tried out a new Amazon.com/Tremors joke. I also did a couple other bits and got off stage around 7:30 or so?
Some of the other comics told me I had a good set (it felt like I did, too) and that's really cool to hear as the new guy in town. Yesterday Scott said that it was nice having a new guy who wasn't new to comedy. That's awesome, the Omaha/Lincoln guys have been really friendly and I'm still very excited about moving here.
