Helium

Last night I got to feature for a one night Wednesday showcase. And what a great show it was, my friend Jason hosted and Jack Knight headlined. Todd Glass also stopped in and chatted in the green room as well ha ha. A really overall good time.
   My set felt great I went up and just had the crowd loving me from start to finish. Ended on my suicide joke and it went over real well. Then at the end of the show Jason did the usual round of applause for everyone on this show and when he said my name the crowd definitely had the biggest reaction.
  That felt good after my abysmal casino gig last week

Seven Feathers

   Tonight I have the displeasure of doing casino gig about 4 hours away. The drive was pretty nice at least...the gig not so much.
   Show was held in a giant convention room with 40 foot ceilings and in front of about 150 people. 145 of them did not like me at all, the other 5 were cool. At one point a nicely dressed older lady in the back middle of the room was clearly shaking her head "no" for a solid minute.
   Luckily instead of 30 mins of bombing they got me off stage at 15...so theres a silver lining.

Dirty Dozen

    Finally I get to host another dirty dozen showcase! It's been 4 months, too long. I booked a lot of first timers and vets on this show and I'm really looking forward to it.
    I get there super early and the crowd is pretty light until about 10 minutes to show time and then it fills to about 140 people. Not the most I have seen at dirty dozen but not the least either. It's a good size crowd.
    I go up first and set the tone. Everything goes pretty well I don't get any huge laughs but I am doing new material and still working on it. I finished the new bit but it doesn't hit like I want so I did a couple more to close stronger. In this case it was a good decision sometimes it doesn't work out but tonight was an exception.
   I watched the rest of the show from the side curtain and everybody had a good sets. Dan closed strongly/horrificly and the crowd was great. Then i read my favorite 3 texted insults and they were really good this time and the crowd loved them.
   It was a good show!

Helium Open Mic

    Tonight I hit up a couple mics.
    First at Helium, it was a pretty good crowd surprisingly because there's a huge fire that has made the air very smokey and I was glad to see a lot of people made it out of their house. I went up and did a bunch of new stuff and it all went pretty well. I definitely got to cut out some fluff but overall a great framework for some new minutes.
   Next I hit up the lamp and it was pretty small attendance. Maybe a dozen people all comics but they were laughing and it was cool to hang out with friends. Also they have amazing hamburgers there on the happy hour menu
