Monday night, & I get to do a little showcase with my friend Jason at a bar called Valentines. It's a pretty hip joint, located right in the heart of donut alley, good foot traffic. Leading up to the show was chill ambient music, very soothing. Also let me say that I ate a few mushrooms earlier, nothin substantial, but was definitely feeling it throughout the night. This room has a very hip, cool vibe to it and I love the loft layout.
I ended up going up first, and really kind of just played around a bit. Made a bone thugs n harmony reference, which is always a good thing. I will probably keep that bit too. Also I knew quick one liner about Tom Hanks went well, so yeah pretty productive. I kinda flubbed the end of the set though, I told a joke I haven't told in awhile and forgot where I was going, but I think I gave a pretty organic looking show regardless. At one point in one of my darker, hospital bits, I reach the punchline and got very little chuckles but could hear someone audibly say Jesus Christ under their breath and that was really the highlight of my night. No actually the highlight of my night was watching Christian Ricketts close with my favorite cat penis joke. Yeah, Christians cat penis joke.
