So, I went. Steve Balbier, a standup comic buddy of mine, and I went to the competition in Harrisburg. We met some cool comedians there, and it was my first competition, so I was a little nervous. The first contestant got up on stage and started singing the same two lines of a song over and over and over and over and over again. All the while he has a giant purple condom with a whipped cream can shooting whipped cream all over the stage and asking if anyone wanted a pearl necklace. Nobody laughed. It was disturbing. There were 12 comics in total competing to go on to the final round. I was getting a bit nervous until I walked outside, and went over my act in my head. For some reason, I felt much better. I went up, gave it my all, and waited for the laugh's. Nothing. Well, I shouldn't say nothing. A few people found a few things slightly humorous, but not much. In the end, a very cool guy named Randy Latini (www.RLComedy.com)won for the evening. He had a very funny act, and he seemed like a cool guy. I would have been a bit upset if the whipped cream jizz-meister had won. I would have dropped out of comedy on the spot. Yes, that is all that it would have taken. You lucky bastards!
