Location: Helium Comedy Club
Emcee: Cameron Keys
After: Tommy Chamberlain
Before: Mark Norman
There are several Helium clubs in the U.S., but the newest one opened in the St. Louis Galleria a few weeks ago. They've started strong with some significant headliners like Dave Attell...and they made the interesting decision to put their open-mic night on Tuesday, the same as Westport Funny Bone's open-mic. That will divide the local comedy community between the longest-tenured club in the area and the new place on the block.
With online signup and a pre-emptive lineup posting, I didn't make the list for the first open-mic but I got to perform on the second one. As is the case for any first performance at a venue, I wanted to make a strong impression and I feel like I did a great job tonight. I went with my best possible four minutes and stuck to my time...the light system is a bit different so I had to adjust to that. I have a few new ideas in the works, but it may be a bit before they're stage-ready...we shall see. Next up: Hey Guys Comedy in Fairview Heights on Thursday!
