Helium and Fun House Lounge

    Its Tuesday! And that means it's a Helium and Fun House kind of night, and to make it a little better, I am hosting all this week at Helium! I am fortunate enough to work with Bryan Callen, and look forward to what the week brings.
    But tonight is about hosting the open mic, and I go out there with about 10 minutes of new material all less than a month old, and it hits more or less pretty solid. I will listen to my set and polish it up for the showcase, but as of right now I'm pretty happy. I get a couple of quick one liners in between a few of the comedians as they shuffled through the order, and was out of there by 9:45.
    Also I finally grow a pair a balls and started talking to the management of the club in requesting dates and certain comedians to work with. And big news but still not 100 percent certain, I will be the regular host of The Dirty Dozen showcase every other Wednesday at Helium...and I will get to book it as well! I'm super happy to take this under my wing and show the club what I'm capable of. The management has put a lot of faith in me, letting me work there for the last year, and I feel like it's time for me to step up to that next level. I'm ready.
    Then it was off to the Fun House Lounge for a nightcap so to speak. A solid crowd as usual, about 50 people. I go up to the host and ask if I could do a quick 3 minute set and they put me right on. It feels good to be in a place where people put faith into my work, and genuinely seem to respect me.
   The set went great, I opened with some new bit about Doug Funny porn, and closed the with my new homeless bit which has been crushing. It feel so good to come up with a new two minutes of killer material that audiences really like.
    In related news, they added a new room for the Fun House Lounge! A small, red lit room with an electronic fireplace... feels pretty baller.
