August 29 - Java N More

Not a bad set. Did a routine on my Jr. High years which to me is as painful as it is funny. This was the time in my life that I was just starting to be able to laugh at myself. The bit was too real for the audience of comedians. I'd like to try it out on a real audience.

A few pedestrians in the audience. Got some laughs. They were listening, which in this place is half the battle. My Jerry Springer joke died because no one in the audience knew what a double-wide was. Have to watch the culture gap in the future.
 

August 30 - Thoughts

I think I noticed something important. What I have been doing is working to a point where I would feel comfortable promoting myself. I now think that this is the wrong thing to do. I think I need to start promoting myself, and then try to live up to the hype. Yes I need more stage time to become the comedian I know I can be, but if I don't push myself, get in over my head, I will stay comfortable and my career will develop much slower than I would like.
