Six days till the comedy competition and I’m a bit nervous. Since it’s a weekly thing with a few more left, I went last night to check out the competition one last time.

It still looked manageable. 19 contestants; most were mediocre with 4 that showed some real talent. It won’t be a cake walk, but I think I have a decent chance. My gig is almost all penned out, and I took a lot of notes on the atmosphere last nite too, like how the crowd reacted to different subjects, tempo and image of the contestants.

I did it once before when I was in college and it’s absolutely incredible. You get addicted to the audience reactions- when you nail a well timed joke and the crowd goes nuts- it’s like a drug. Boom, boom, boom. Just like anything else- when you’re on you’re on. Of course I’m worried about being off. I hadn’t planned on getting into stand-up before I was done with my degree and stuff- but this competition is simply too hard to pass up.

This week I’m renting a few of the greats on DVD: Seinfeld, Leary, Murphy and Rock. Any suggestions are welcomed too- if you know of a great stand-up on dvd or cd lemme know. I love studying these guys’ acts and techniques.
