Helium - Dantes .....
Tonight I went to Helium and had a blast. It was a great crowd, all the comics did well. I was #16, so I was up at about a hour into the show. About half the comics that went on tonight were people I had never seen before, and they all did pretty damn well.
I went with an opener I knew worked, a new joke and wrapped up with a semi new "E.R. with a drunk girl" closer. Got a great response and headed of to Dantes with a smile.
I get to Dantes and am put on last, which is usually a great spot, as the audience builds throughout the night. By the time I got on, it was pretty packed, but the audience wasn't having any of it. Oh, it was brutal. Seriously a disaster. I started of with a "classic" cancer bit, which got nothing....seriously, not a damn thing. The audience was just talking over me, not giving a fuck. Its funny because I had just done the same set that killed at Helium only an 90 minutes before....comedy can be a fickle bitch.
So in conclusion, another great night!
