A beautiful Monday eve spent at the Boiler. The weather is perfect so I walked here, only a couple miles and I get to go over a bridge so its scenic. I wear my headphones but am not listening to music, they just make me feel better about talking to myself in public.
I'm one of the first comics there but they slowly show up and fill the room. Very small list, maybe 15 comics and about 15 spectators so there is a nice balance. The multi colored lights are reflecting off the mirror ball and are circling the room. I love the dive bar ambience in this place. Its not too pretty or too gritty, its just right.
I go up 4th with some new material and it goes suprisingly well. Then I sit in the back corner under the mirror ball and watch my friends take their turns. Some hits, some misses.. but that's what an open mic is for.
This is a personal blog / diary of my experiences being a stand up comedian. Most of the entries take place in the Portland Oregon / Pacific NW area.
