Helium

   Its a new year and Im off to Helium for the Tues open mic as usual. My car was stolen a few days ago so I have to bus it out there but no matter, its not too bad. A lot of people are recording submission tapes tonight so I go up early on the list. I have some new material about imaginary friends and my stolen car I wanna run through. The crowd likes most of it, I finish my set talking about my yellow pants....real important stuff.

Dirty Dozen

It's 2016, a brand new year and time for a brand new Dirty Dozen. The lineup tonight is made up of a lot of new faces and a lot of out of towners, I'm excited for the show. I arrived at the club about an hour ahead of time and talk shop with the managers and wait for people to show up. Not a large audience this time unfortunately, I'm kind of bummed that only 80 ish people showed up. But fortunately most of them were paying customers, not many comps.
   I go up and do about 10 minutes up front to one of the crowd up and it goes pretty well, did some new material and then gave out my phone number and ask the audience to text me insults for prizes. I got a couple of good ones and a lot of really lame insults but all in all the crowd liked it. The show went smoothly, all the comics did great and the audience was on board from start to finish. Afterwards I shot the shit with some people in the crowd and went home and wrote some more..

Good times.
