The Comedy Store

Tonight I flew out to Los Angeles to try and get on The Comedy Store open mic. I'm only in town for less than 24 hours and The Comedy Store is the only reason I'm here. Luckily for me I made the cut and I get to perform in the potluck.
     It's a pretty small crowd but it's also early. I go up around 7:30 and have a great time. The MC seem to enjoy me and after my set I sit back down and watch the rest of the show.
   After the open mic I went up to the belly room and watched the kill Tony podcast live, that was hilarious. And I peeked my head into the main room and watched a few people on a bringer showcase. I really wish I could have done time at the bringer show case but again I don't live in LA and don't have anyone to bring unfortunately.         
      Hopefully next time I come to La I can get a little more time on stage here.

New Deal

Last night was the last New Deal show of the year and wow it was a hell of a way to end the season. The lineup was stacked, the crowd was packed in there standing room only and everyone was ready to laugh.
   I went up first as a host for Jason Traeger who is the real host. We decided 10 minutes before the show to host the host and did a little skit about it at the top. It went over well and I only did about 3 minutes out front before I brought the real host Jason out to the stage.
   Everyone had a great set, no slow parts at all. The crowd was super happy at the end of the show and everybody left satisfied. Afterwards I went home got super high took a giant dump and went to bed

Dirty Dozen

  Holy shit, it's finally time for another Dirty Dozen. It's been like 5 months and I have been waiting for this for a while. The lineup is amazing, 12 top-notch comedians at the best club in town.
   I get to the club about an hour early and bring some gifts! I got some leftover liquor from a Distillery I work at and brought it to the staff, they dug it. Even though I was there an hour early there were already people waiting for the show. 10 minutes to showtime and there was a line going down the stairs. Felt good to see that the momentum we had built up was not slowing down.
   I went off and started the show with a story. And erotic Story featuring Grumpy Cat. A story I had written a couple years ago and only told once, I wanted to share it again and I'm glad I did. It went over pretty well and the night was really great for everyone involved. My girlfriend showed up and got to watch me again but in front of an actual audience.
  I got over 60 insults text it to me throughout the show. My idea of giving out my phone number and asking the audience to text me mean things to win prizes really gets the crowd involved.
   Anyways, night went well, fun to be back at Helium, look forward to my next Big Show

Seven Nightclub in Bend

Tonight I'm in Bend at the Seven Nightclub. A nice little bar on the main street that has a dark side room for shows...feels kind of like the old Tonic Lounge. The stage is nice with Christmas lights in the background and along the ceiling. There's also a giant light up "7" on the opposite wall above the dj booth.
   Drive to the show is nice and I bring a feature named Brandon. Solid younger comic, I always like to being a feature that's never done comedy in Bend before and Brandon is ready. He also brings the entire crowd. His family all showed up and that was it.  He did about 30 minutes in front of his family and had fun. I went up and did about 45 and most of the crowd walked out during. They were only there to see Brandon oh well. The few that stuck around were awesome and hung out till the end.
  The drive back was calm and uneventful, I just got high as shit and enjoyed night time mountain driving.

Renton Civic Theater

Last night I had a feature gig at the Renton Civic Theater in Renton (obviously) Washington. Beautiful old theater right on main street, holds 3-400 people....13 showed up. Seriously 13, and 1 if them was my girlfriend. The place was empty but the crowd was great for how small they were. I felt bad for my gf for driving 7 hours with me for that show but she enjoyed herself. All in all, still a win.
