So I have my last DC set tomorrow. I am frankly a little sad that I have to leave this scene, which is definitely a lot of fun and full of some great comedians. I have definitely seen some hacks at the open mics, but I have seen a surprising amount of original voices out there. I certainly hope the Boston scene is as fun and non-competitive as the DC scene appears to be. I get the feeling the Comedy Studio is going to be a haven of original comedy in a sea of hack, but maybe I’m just being pessimistic. Anyway, thanks a lot DC, you gave me the confidence to keep trucking with this insane pipe dream for just a bit longer.

I am going to do the “Make a difference” joke tomorrow because Billy told me he liked it. I don’t know how well it will go over, but it’s really short, so it won’t be a set killer (like my St. Patrick’s Day joke was at Dremo’s). I am also trying out a couple of new jokes about racism, cause I’m an edgy motherfucker and I don’t pull any punches. Hey, you’re all thinking it, I’m just the only one with the balls to say it! I hope that by the end of the semester at Brown my press kit will include numerous comparisons to Carlos Mencia and Martin Lawrence from reputable newspapers.

Oh, I have a great opening line for a bit about mustache chicken: “So I grew a mustache, just to show that I’m not fucking around anymore.” I don’t know why, but I think that’s hilarious, like I haven’t been getting the respect I feel I deserve, so I grew a mustache. I don’t have a bit about mustache chicken yet, but this opening line makes me want to write one. Maybe I can do it about how 50-year-old construction guys in Providence would give me looks like “See, I kept this baby through the 90s, and now all the kids are flossin’ the stache again! I knew it would come back!” That was my favorite part about my game with Matt, the approving nods from cops and plumbers.

I think a funny name for someone would be Tom Pans. It’s also fun to exclaim “Fart Time!” within 5 minutes of meeting someone. Of course, you must fart loudly or the joke doesn’t work. These comedy lessons are free of charge, for now.

Ok, back to work on my second-to-last day.
