Post-performance

So here’s the deal. I didn’t bomb. In fact, I did pretty well. My first few jokes got average response, but the audience warmed up to me after a couple of minutes. I made a last minute substitution for a joke I wrote on Wednesday about a black guy doing an impression of a white guy. Don’t worry, it’s not nearly as hacky as it sounds. That one went over surprisingly well. The best response was to my “inappropriate drunk” joke, which I like a lot because it’s got more of a narrative to it than my other, shorter jokes. So, I’m going to go in that direction next time. Basically, though, I was bitten by the bug, and I don’t think I’m going to stop doing stand-up any time soon.

So, where to go from here? I am currently signed up for the next 2 Wednesdays at the same place. I also know of open mics in Dupont Circle on Monday and Thursday. SO I am going to work on some new jokes this weekend so I can try some new material at these open mics. I gotta replace or improve some of my jokes anyway, so I figured I’d try out new material just to keep challenging myself. What I want is to have 5-7 devastating minutes by the end of the summer. Then in the fall I will be going to Boston a lot to be doing stand-up there. Also, I hope to get in the Brown Stand-up Comics and perform at Brown.

Anyway, now that I didn’t totally bomb, I am allowing people to come to my shows, so I will update this site when I know where I’ll be performing in the future.

Thanks for reading, I hope to have some better content up here soon!
