My first casino gig. I am definitely pretty excited and a little nervous as I have never met the headlining comedian before. Turns out he was the chill dude with a lot of good experience.
2 shows, 30 minutes each. This was all done in a smaller bar that was connected to the main floor of the casino. You could hear all the bells and whistles going off, but it didn't distract much as the PA system was dialed in well. The PA guys name was Tony and he seem like a pretty cool guy.
First show had about 50 to 60 people in it, seem to be about three quarters of the way full. Pretty good crowd, I won't lie my opening swastika joke got nothing and my nerves shot up quick. Thankfully my follower had them back on my side. Still definitely not my best set of the night and it felt like I had a few empty moments during.
My second set went off great, I used what I learned from my first set and switched a few jokes up, I did a lot more bs'ing with the crowd, and it was also a bit of a younger audience...and completely full. They ate most of my shit up.
I shook a lot of hands afterwards , I wish I had some merch to sell I probably could have made some decent money afterwards. Lesson learned. I need to get some cards, buttons, and a shirt made...
