The second shitty comedy show.
Hey look there was a second shitty comedy show. How cool is that? Didn’t have my best go here. Was only a week after being in the hospital. Still feeling pretty shity. How appropriate. Didn’t have a whole lot of time to write and practice material. You can tell in the video. Way too many pauses again. It was not a great performance. But you know what? For the first time I was actually excited to get up there. Usually i’m standing by dreading the moment until it’s over. But I was eager as fuck to get up there. The three comics that went in front of me basically got no reaction. The room was basically dead. I knew I wasn’t feeling well. I knew I didn’t have great material. I still really wanted to get up there. That’s new.
There’s so few opportunities to get stage time in this city. English comedy does not exist outside these irregular shows that have been happening. I would love more chances to go up and start practicing jokes that have done well. Really refine them and work through them. It’s fun trying out new stuff but it’s so intimidating when you don’t have a good feel for how to deliver something. Practice practice practice. I’ll get there though if I can find some more micrphones to stand in front of.
I had another moment of complete dead silence from a joke. Yeah it was the one about painting the vagina walls white. Foreal tho when that idea popped into my head I thought it was HILARIOUS. It’s so filthy, raunchy, and probably a bit disturbing. Not a single person even got it or liked it. None. Stoned faces everywhere. The punchline, if you so care, was “and that upset me cause it wasn’t really my shade”. Ah well. Shit happens.
I’ve really gotta figure out how to get some more mic time. I’m not going to get better just sitting in bed writing stuff and giggling to myself. Maybe I can host my own comedy show from bed on Twitch or something. That’s lame though. Having that immediate reaction from the crowd right in your face is a truly wild feeling. I honsetly can’t relate it to anything else I’ve ever done. it’s such a weird strange experience and I can’t believe i’ve made it this far. Yet here I am. That Guy. At that place. Doin that thig.
