my evil plan has worked!!!!!!!!!!!

my set went really well last night.  Rewriting my bit "cowboys and indians" proved smart since it got the most laughter, its amazing how you can use insults that people said to you and turn it into comedy.  In addition, my timing was a lot better.

so come see me tell JOKES

8/4/2014

I did a bunch of new material, I got laughs but I guess because it was 4 months since my last performance, my timing is off, so I'm not sure how to judge some of the jokes I did.  I screwed up one joke which I did last week.  A new comic came up to me and complemented my set, second week in a row.  The joke I screwed up last week I did correctly this week which is about a lady in Johnstown who tried to sell me and another guy her drugs after she walked out of a pharmacy.  I think i'm going to try the original ending, the current ending is that she's a grandmother.

then after I was done I drove over to micks pub and got something to eat since I was hungry ($5.99 for burger & fries).  I sat in the 'bar' portion of the pub.  The one guy sitting across from me started whining about having poor people in his neighborhood, apparently they didn't fit the 250-275K house price.  They apparently moved out and he should have just started singing happy songs.  When people act like snobs but their completely blind to it, it amuses me.

ps. I'm doing something next week, so anybody who cares, I'll perform again on august 18th.

I thought my set went okay.  The new material went over fine.

I was a little nervous but it didn't really affect the performance since the last time I performed was over 4 months ago.

I wish my friends would support me.  I'll be there on august 4th. come check me out

I did my best set, I got a bunch of laughs and I started to improv in the jokes, this is very important.  I'm very good at improv so it is very exciting for me to see that I have started to progress.  I still have stage fright but I have it a lot less.  I did 8-9 jokes.  I only skipped two jokes, come out and support me on the 24th or 31st.

I also started talking about Johnstown which i'm planning on eventually turning that part of my life into a long bit.

joke of the week (I skipped this one)
CNN - The place where you get neutered news.

the open mic went okay, I did 4 jokes, 2 landed and 2 didn't.  I know I should do more, I didn't have heartburn, so I guess that problem is gone.  The stage fright needs a little work but once I get over that, i'll start to improve.  I'm taking next week off.

2/17/2014

this week's open mic was a train wreck.  I got laughs I think on all five jokes but it was light laughter and I believe that was because of my nervousness.  I didn't have heartburn.

I think it will be the last time I use keywords to remember jokes, i'll probably still use that at home, to help me memorize jokes.  An example is using the word 'Lance Armstrong' to help me remember the joke: Lance Armstrong isn't a habitual liar he's a romantic.  The reason my mind went blank on a couple of the jokes and I didn't give the right punch line on at least one joke and I became the joke because of my mind going blank.  Trust me, it wasn't as bad as it sounds and honestly being laughed at wasn't offensive to me.  I would rather be laughed at then booed or having people tell me I sucked.  I was more angered at myself for not performing better but it was good it happened.  Now I will bring the jokes with me.

ps. over the weekend I wrote a 6 paragraph bit about a guy in Iraq who was a bomb teacher and blew himself and his class up, I have to write the last paragraph and it will be finished. i'm going to post 2-3 paragraphs of it on the comedy blog.
