Comedy Part 860: I Totally Did Really Well, Guys

Emcee:  Rich Braun
After:  Zack Spilio
Before:  Jason Dormire

I went up fairly early in Tuesday's open-mic night and did really well...I got in a few new bits and there were no chatty groups like the last time.  Unfortunately, my video recording had a few hiccups near the end so I didn't keep it up on YouTube...better luck next time in that regard, I suppose.  It's just good to get back on stage.

Comedy Part 859: New Year Same Old Me

Location:  Westport Funny Bone
Emcee:  Mollie Amburgey
After:  J.B.
Before:  Alex Hayes

There was a very chatty table up front that was a bit distracting for most of the show and my set was no exception (BIRTHDAY PARTY~!).  Other comedians were a bit less polite than myself and I let it throw me off my game, unfortunately.  I didn't do as many newer jokes as I would have liked and stuck to my usual core material.  I still feel like I did well, but hopefully getting back on stage will motivate me to write some more.  I have no shortage of life experiences in that regard...
