A friend of mine recently hit me up on Facebook, asking me to fill in for a dropout. Apparently, it is me, another comedian, and a magician! I'm going into this with fairly low expectations, as I have not seen any promotion for the show.
I get to the room in North Portland, there are two people sitting inside, and a fairly nice stage setup taking up a good chunk of the main room. I got there about an hour early and got some food while I waited for show time. I'm waiting around and no one is coming into this place, I'm not worried its just pretty funny. As showtime grows closer my friend and the other comedian show up. So its just me and him and the sound guy J who is ready to go.
The couple that was in the main room left as soon as I announced that there was going to be a show. I don't blame them, this was a very quickly throwing together event. We did the show anyway, fuck it. There was literally not one person in the room watching us perform when we started. I took this stage in did about 12 minutes of just bs'ing with my friend back and forth no real reason to even try and tell jokes in this scenario. A couple of parents walk in with their daughter who was apparently 15. And of course at that moment I was in the middle of some really dirty sex story that involves role play and choking...so they left.
I brought three people in and then walked them within 2 minutes.That's a record for me.
