It went swimmingly. Our pals the Lathers came, as well as one of my co-workers. Each set is feeling progressively better. This one marked my fifth ever- not counting the one in college I’ll tell you about some other time.

I felt more polished up there. Not to say that I wasn’t terrified. For some reason that came back and it won’t leave. One of the comics I really dig told me later, “If that feeling ever leaves- you’ll surely bomb. Johnny Carson did the Tonight Show for a zillion years and still got so nervous each time he almost threw up.”

I liked that. My set flowed well this time and the tempo seemed a smidge faster with the punch lines. The crowd was a little rough on the comics though. They’re usually young and ready to laugh- this crowd was more family style and Republican and cranky. They were willing to laugh, but you had to work for it.

I got to do this one about the Fat kids whose parents sued McDonalds- I’ve always wanted to do that one.

I feel really lucky that this is working out-It’s been a dream of mine for a long time. I wish I could put more time into it but it’ll have to wait till I’m done with my MBA. Well, I’ll post the video of the set when I get around to it & next week I’ll be at it again.
