Dispensary Brunch Show



    My good friend Anthony hit me up to do a noon show at the dispensary he works at today. I am happy to get the gig cause it gives me a reason to go to a dispensary I havent been to yet and it is pretty nice. Good selection, good prices, good staff.
     They have a tent set up in the parking lot with a dj and for us to perform under. They also had some games/prizes for people to play, it was really nice. Not a big crowd though, it was early, very gray/rainy, and just not a big draw in that area. But nonetheless the show went well. I did about 10 minutes and so did Gabe and Anthony, the few people that were there were cool.
    Afterwards we got some amazing marijuana related products and I went home to play video games! Yay me!

Brunch Show

   Today I am performing at a little brunch show at The Lamp. I'm looking forward to this show cause its hosted by 2 of the best comics I know and I know it'll be packed. I was right, wall to wall people.
    I go up 2nd to last and have a great time. Real good response from the audience. I did some new stuff from the trucking company gig and some old stuff like my box of kittens bit. Real good mix. Felt solid and closed with a big laugh! Great show!
   Also, they have us free brunch and it was amazing. Cowboy Benedict was the real deal.

Corporate Gig in Redmond



    Tonight I am in Redmond for a corporate gig for a trucking company. I ride with another comic (Chase) to the venue which is 3 hours away and we get there an hour ahead of the show. The venue is great, they really made the place nice. Christmas lights are hanging up and they are having a big banquet with really good food. Me an chase just hang around till showtime meandering around the building and looking awkward.
   Show starts at 630 and Chase opens up with about 15-20 minutes to warm them up. Does well. Then I go up, Im the "headliner" and as soon as a grabbed the mic I was just in the zone. I gave them some trucker jokes about Big Trouble in Little China, Over the Top and Smoky and the Bandit which I wrote just for the show but I will probably keep cause I like them. I did about 45-50 minutes and felt great the entire time, even on stuff that didnt work I would just acknoledge it, say "ok, your not into that, moving on" and the crowd was on my side the whole time...most of the crowd. 1 old lady in the back was talking shit. Saying she'd kick my ass if I tried to hit her kid" (in relation to a joke about beating kids) and so I just played off her. I walked back to her (wireless mics) said "who said that" she got up, and I gave her a hug told her she was up past her bedtime, yadda yadda yadda.. and the crowd LOVED it. After the show a couple of people came up and told me she is a huge bitch so they all loved me ripping into her for a bit.
    This show was solid, better than I expected and I left feeling pretty damn good about myself. Also, the Goodwill in Redmond was stacked with Ric Flair Action Figures. Just for the record.

Sky Club



   Tonight I am performing at Sky Club with a bunch of my friends. This show is usually pretty terrible but tonight, a decent size crowd has gathered and they are paying attention. I go up 2nd to last and do about 10 minutes. I had some new material about imaginary friends I wanted to try but for some reason when I got on stage I told my liver transplant story and talked about smoking crack. It wasn't the best or funniest set I've delivered but it felt ok. Afterwards, I went home and played Final Fantasy till about 2am. Glamour life.
