Well this show started 2 hours late because of the playoffs (damn sports) but had a couple fun comedians from Seattle. I headlined in front of a handful of people and actually had a pretty rad set. I also worked out some new shit so Im feeling productive.
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.

Dirty Dozen Showcase
Fucking amazing show tonight! 180ish people in the crowd, 100% with it! I took a couple pics with some new fans, and even signed some autographs! I feel like I am really starting to establish myself as a serious comedian. All these small steps are adding up!

Permanent Comedy
Tonight I get to do a 15 minute set on stage at Helium Comedy Club for my friend Todd Armstrong's Permanent Comedy Showcase. Its a good crowd with about a hundred people showing up. And the great line up with some good friends of mine and some out of towners from Seattle.
Let's just cut right to it, my set felt fantastic! This crowd was on board right from the start. I opened up with my Bible bit and I add it up, and then I just continued to get laughs at every tag or line that I dished out. Even my weaker stuff got huge appla I closed on my new homeless bit, which is becoming my favorite new closer. I'm glad I recorded this set, & I look forward to the video! This is going to be a good 15 minute highlight reel thanks to the great audience!

Dirty Dozen
Time for the second Dirty Dozen showcase at helium! I spent most of the day preparing my set for the show and I am super excited to give it to the audience. It's brutal.
The show starts right on time at 8 p.m., & I go up and start my set. I had prepared 15 minutes for my intro, but apparently I was only supposed to do 7 so I had to end it early. Kinda sucks, cause I wanted to end on my new homeless bit but I still went off with a bang. My joke about the make-a-wish foundation hit really hard, I was super happy about that. This is a dirty show afterall so the audience knew what they were in for, and I went pretty hardcore.
All the comedians went up and had great sets as well, the audience left happy. I ended up taking off couple of pictures with some new friends and even getting a few numbers.. holla! I left that show feeling like a rockstar! And afterwards I went to tonic lounge and watched a cool comedy drag show. Portland.

Midnight Mass
Midnight Mass us the best showcase in Portland. This is the 4th time Ive done this show and even though I had a fairly terrible set, I still had a blast. Not much to say, I went up at 1:40am and the crowd was tired as balls. One awesome thing to note, Jovan and Just Lawson arr visting for the weekend, and seeing them again was grest! They are so funny it hurts. I expect big things from both of them in the future!
