My fourth time doing stand up comedy was dope!

2018, Sep 17

Ah, man, I loved this set so much. It felt so good. “I was watching a documentary on Queen Victoria’s menstrual cycle. And I’m not usually into period pieces.”. Fuckin classic. There’s a reason I started off with that. I was letting a buddy of mine from England read through my joke notes a few days before the show. He basically didn’t laugh at anything and thought it was all garbage. He almost punctured a lung when he got to that one. I’m like fuck yeah I’m starting off with that motherfucker right there. Since it’s the only thing that isn’t garbage.

This is the first time I did a show totally sober. I decided the best way to try and get over my nerves is to not cover them up with alcohol. Hit that shit head on and see what happens. All the previous performances felt a bit smoother for me thanks to the extra lubrication. I feel like I Ummmm’d and Uhhhh’d a lot more during this show cause I was way more nervous. It felt a lot better tho.

I forgot another fucking punchline lol when will that stop happening? Instead of having all of my jokes written out fully on my phone I switched to using single lines that SHOULD help remind of the whole joke. I have not idea how I forgot this one because I literally said it seconds before. After I said “I feel like there’s room for improvement there” it was supposed to go something like “But it’s really hard to change habits when there are no consequences. Cause I don’t have any kids…. that I know of…”. Instead, I stood there like a dummy. Boooooo that guy.

A lot of people liked the final story and said I’m a good storyteller. That was really cool. That story is 100% true btw. Except for the erection part. It was only like thirty minutes in reality.
