I had 2 shows the other night. One was a basement show at a friend's house and the other was at the slide in. I've done the slide in before and I dig that room but the house so it was new for me.
First the show was the house so. It was fantastic, not a big crowd because it was a smaller room but they were very responsive and it was a really good show for everybody. They had cookies and drinks and stuff and the lineup was fantastic. Good Times.
Later that night I was at the slide in. This is a room I've done before and I usually have a great time. Tonight though was strange because there was 6 people in the audience. Literally 6 people. That place is usually packed out standing room only but tonight for some reason only 6 people came out. It was hard to get any laughs, and I basically stood on stage for 15 minutes talking to nobody. It was pretty classic honestly. Still a fun time regardless.

Helium
Tonight is the Tuesday night open mic so I, as usual head of liver to helium for a spot. Small crowd, unresponsive. I go up and have the fun idea to record my set first person from my front pocket. Footage was horrible, luckily so was set.
I guess it's a lose+lose=win scenario.

Tacoma Comedy Club
Last night I was fortunate enough to perform at Tacoma Comedy Club. It was a great show with 5 Comics hosted by my friend Todd. It was a Sunday night and the crowd was somewhat sparse but they were pretty cool. Honestly I wasn't getting many laughs and I kind of talked a lot of shit to them but I felt like everything went pretty well. The other comics on the show or laughing a lot but it's hard to tell if they were laughing at the jokes or laughing at the audience not laughing. That's the way it goes
