Last night I got to headline show it helium. It was the transplants show and it was hosted by great friend James. The show had 7 comics on it all of them doing 10 minute sets and then I went up last and did 30 minutes.
The crowd was pretty decent, they were laughing and had energy but my set was not that good. I'd like to say that the crowd was drained by the time I hit the stage but I just did not feel like my stuff was hitting. my closer was not good at all, I don't know why I closed on an old joke which was never that great to begin with, but that was just one of those spur of the moment decisions I made in my head while on stage that did not pan out. Shit happens.
This is a personal blog / diary of my experiences being a stand up comedian. Most of the entries take place in the Portland Oregon / Pacific NW area.

Triple dip
Tonight for some reason I'm feeling energetic enough to hit 3 mics in one night. I haven't done this in a while.
First up, Helium. As usual its a good crowd and i started off well riffing on a friends earlier set. I did some new stuff about a subway getting robbed and then told some older stuff. Felt OK about my set.
Second, brody theater. I haven't been to Brody in 6 months and it felt good to get on that stage even with a small tired audience. Nothing hit as I expected and I left for mic number 3.
Thirdly, The Lamp. The lamp is usually meh and tonight is no different. I go up first, take the bullet and have a mediocre set working out some new shit.

Helium Open Mic
This week I hit the mic at helium for the first time in a couple of weeks. I Had been sick and had other stuff happening in my life so that's why I have not been. Everything went well, I pretty much just talked to the audience about my life over the last couple weeks and threw in my newer racism joke at the end. Everything hit well and it felt good to get back on that stage
