So this past weekend's shows went fairly well. I was booked in the fine towns of Skippack and Audubon, Pennsylvania! Actually, it was with Chuckles, the clubs that I started out performing in. Friday's show was on track to being a crappy show. At show time, there were about 12 people in the room, and they were all pretty quiet. Suddenly, a group of 8 or 9 lively people came walking in. Thank the comedy Gods for them, because they came ready to laugh and helped the rest of the audience get in the laughing mood as well.
Saturday's first show was packed. Sold out. Standing room only. Sweeeet. That was a great show, until one of the comics got booed and yelled at by an audience member. BOOOO!! YOU SUCK!!! GET OFF STAGE!!! I felt bad for the comic because no matter what you say back, you still got booed at. The comic wrapped up and got off stage. The audience was a bit unruly at first, but came back around and really enjoyed the other acts, including the headliner Glen Jensen.
The second show, which takes place about 20 minutes away in a different club, was not packed by any means. The room holds about 80 people, and there were about 14 scattered mostly along the back wall. Towards the end of the show, they came around, but it wasn't the best way to end the three shows. You do find out very odd things when you are playing to a small audience. For instance, one woman complained because her husband apparently yells out her sister's name during sex. That same woman also holds a patent on a salad dressing. Who the hell knew that you could patent a salad dressing?
So I am doing a show tomorrow (Wednesday) for a private party with a few of my comedy buddies. I think that they are a bunch of salesmen or something. It would probably help if I knew that. Then I was asked to perform at a new club just getting started. In fact, it is their premier show. Quite an honor that I was asked to do it. With all the crappy comics in Philly, they picked me. Quite an honor indeed. More about it after the show. It could go good (lots of promotion and the first show at this club) or bad (not much promotion until they see how the show goes). It is in a bar/restaurant, so we will see. Seacrest out!
Just for the record...I HATE SNOW!
