Man, I do love a short work week. I just read an article about how businesses are offering workers the option of working four days a week to cut down on commuting costs. How about offering shortened work weeks to cut down on my misery? Because there is nothing better than waking [...]
I’M BOUTS TO TALK ABOUT MY FEELINGS: CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.
I’m down today. And as BF pointed out, this is part of a familiar pattern for me. Some big event happens, usually something I’ve been focusing on and looking forward to, like, say, the half-marathon, or this past week’s stand-up shows, and then [...]
Holy crap, its my 100th post! So for this momentous occasion, I thought I’d do something I’ve never done before. No, not actually post Trail Tuesdays on Tuesday (that would set a bad precedent, don’t you think?). Nope, I am going to SHOW YOU MY FACE!!!! I know, not so exciting, but its all [...]
In between all the comedy and hospitaling we did this weekend, BF and I still managed to get out of the house a couple of times.
On Sunday we went to the ”Taste of Our Town”
BF’s favorite part of the day was his discovery of a real Philly Cheesesteak. He’s from the East Coast and had come to [...]
A fellow comedian told me last night before the show that “Opening for a hypnotist is like boot camp for comedians. It only gets better.”
I ended my run last night with my best show of the week. BF, who came to both the Wednesday and Sunday shows, said that the difference in my comfort level on [...]
“Hey, you’re really funny,” this kinda shy, nerdy looking guy, who I’m pretty sure had a stack of comic books in his car, said to me after the second show last night.
“Wow, thanks so much!”
“Are you from Our Town, do you do shows around here?”
“Yep.”
“Cool, then I’ll find you.”
“Great”
“Wait, that sounded creepy. I didn’t mean [...]
“How have the shows been?” Asked a comedian friend who came to watch the late show last night.
“Pretty mixed.”
“That’s just how it goes, you know…this is the hardest show to open for. So if you can get through this, you’ll be okay.”
*******************************************
So, last night was an even split, the first show wasn’t great, but the [...]
Oh, hello Friday. On one hand, I’m happy to see you because, well, you’re Friday. Also, I’m not at work today, and that is really the best way to spend a Friday, right? On the other hand, I am at the hospital waiting for my Mom to get out of a minor, yet still pretty [...]
“Man, lady, you were fu-un-ny.”
“Oh, thanks, thats so nice.”
“Now I’m not one to try to tell a comedian jokes, but do you ever tell dirty jokes?”
“Umm…not really…but I’m happy to hear one.”
“I tell this one all the time, right? So you go up to a guy and you say ‘Do you remember your first blow [...]
As I was leaving last night, the club owner stopped me.
“It’ll get better, I promise.” he said, “That audience was awful tonight. There’s not much you could do.”
And that about sums it up my night.
But amazingly, I feel really good about it. And relieved, I feel very relieved. I didn’t [...]
