52

So I preformed for the first time in over 11 months, their were some hiccups but overall it was a good performance.  I plan to preform all over so this was just a start.

50-51

So I'll be at the next open mic on may 15th.  In addition in June I'm going to start preforming at the cove on Sunday nights, probably every other week.  Once I get my sleeping schedule down I'll be hitting Baltimore that could be in a couple months.  I'm starting therapy soon, so hopefully that will help I'm not rushing this so it could be the end of summer or sometime in the fall until I start preforming in Baltimore.  chow

My performance was good after returning to preforming after a break.  I'm still trying to memorize new material so we'll see if I do anything new when the 50th performance happens.  I forgot my camera so no video or pics. chow

So they had the open mic on the main stage of the chameleon club.  The last time they did it I missed it.  So it was really cool and a big thrill.  Since some day I want to be successful enough to do theatre performances, granted its not a theatre but it was still cool and it had that vibe.

I switched with raj belani a comic based in the nyc metro area, a nice guy.  Everybody thought I was being skipped.

I talked about growing up in the city for little and then went to the set.  I did half the set with out looking up the set list and I screwed up some of the jokes but hopefully soon the nerves will dissipate.

Next week I hope to have one of my new jokes memorized.

Ps.  In the picture if their would have been new material, the name of the joke would have a number beside it instead of a letter.

Camera Down

Date: 1/18/17
Location: Marietta, PA
Venue: Railroad House Inn
Type: Open Mic
#: 47

I was going to have somebody take pictures of my performance, so whenever I get shows.  I have a professional looking shot for fliers but my camera had a different idea, it died right before my set.  So no mug shot for me, boo-hoo!

Stage fright my constant foe.  I will defeat you.

I did a couple things right in the set.  First I got on stage.  Second, I told jokes even though my mind went blank because of anxiety but I did it.  They laughed at them which was nice.

I cringed when I got off stage because I forgot to mention I had business cards on me.  Plus I forgot to do the oreo bit which I still don't know if it needs to be rewritten.  Anxiety being a jerk.  I'll overcome it someday soon.
 

January 2nd, 2017

January 2nd
so I left Monday night to go to the chameleon even though for the first time in a long time I found a Penn State game interesting.  I use to be a fan until the whole Sandusky crap happened and I have no plans of following them now.

When I drove off I completely forgot my set list I turned around to go back to get it and then decided screw it.  I'll do it from memory.  Yep my memory wasn't so great and I didn't need the jerk interrupting me during the first joke.  I didn't respond kindly and I won't repeat what I said.  Then, this guy was booing me after my set.  I really don't care since the chameleon club (lizard lounge) isn't my social club like it is for this guy.  When I leave after I find work and rarely go to that place.  He can boo other people and wonder why he's still in the same damn place.
