Helium

This weekend I am hosting Tuesday and Wednesday for a special event with Bert Kreischer. I get asked to host last minute and have to cancel earthquake hurricane, but working helium is first priority.
   Tuesday show was great, nice sizeable crowd and they were on board from start to finish. I went up with some new stuff, new introduction, a lot of new tags, and it went well.
   Wednesday night was a banker. Probably one of the best sets I've had on that stage thus year. Seriously, the crowd was packed and they were into it. I tweaked my set from Tuesday, added some jokes and took some out, and really had a solid 15 minutes from start to finish. It felt great getting off that stage, I wish I'd recorded that on video cuz that would have been my submission tape for everything. I did get it on audio, and when I got home I listen to myself again and was still very happy with the outcome.

Paradox

Tonight I'm on a little show at the hell or high water bar in North Portland called Paradox. Hosted by my friend Alex Rios, I look forward to it. It's a small metal themed bar with a stage, and I've performed here before on different showcases.
   I get to the show quarter to 9 and the show starts at about 9:30, at first no one is in the bar but it fills up a little bit by the time the show starts, there's probably 15 people there at show time. Really special guest tonight, Ron Lynch dropped in and did a set at the end! This guy is so hilarious, just being able to watch him do 10 minutes in a bar with a very light crowd and still kill it is inspiring.
    Shows you that anything is possible

Boiler Room Klingon

   Earlier today I found a officially licensed Star Trek the Next Generation Klingon headpiece kit, and of course I bought it. I decided I would use it tonight at the open mic and do some Klingon comedy as Ja'Kob, from the house of Cristo. My girlfriend also wanted to go watch Comedy, but she did not know I had bought the Klingon headpiece so... she got a surprise.
    I got the Boiler Room at about 9 o'clock, and signed up at the end, after about 40 minutes I went up second to last and did my set in front of 10 people. It didn't do as bad as I thought it was actually kind of refreshing to try a character for a change.

NWCC/VICE Show

    Today was just going to be a boring Saturday when I woke up with no real plans and then I got a message from a friend who needed a fill in at a show at the Northwest Cannabis Cafe. I gladly accepted, it was a headlining spot so that's awesome that my Saturday went from nothing to headlining a great show. Even better it was being filmed by Vice TV.
    Being this show was at a Cannabis Cafe I was noticeably high before I got on stage from smoking and eating various marijuanas beforehand. There was a big crew of people there filming the sets from the comics and I felt like I did pretty well. Hopefully some of my material makes it on the episode, but if not it was still a great show. Everyone was on board from start to finish and the crowd was super happy to have us.
    I like short notice shows like this, Outta nothing something great. Life is always surprising.

Dirty Dozen

    Tonight I am really excited because I got to put together the lineup for this edition of The Dirty Dozen and it is a doozy. Everyone on the lineup is a killer, and are perfect for this show. I get to the club about an hour before the show starts and there's already people waiting around. By the time I took the stage there were 200+ in the room easily, it was almost sold out.
   I had a good set. Trying to be unbiased as possible but it's hard haha. I started off with an old quick bit about Locks for Love Foundation, and then did some new stuff. Some of my new stuff really hit well too, my senior citizen porn material... As I type this I realize how classy I am. Hit hard.
    I closed the set well and then introduced the comics. The crowd reacted great to every person that got on stage. I also got a lot of text messages and some of them were brutal. Everybody was a winner tonight.
